As Apple decided to do away with the physical Home button in its upcoming iPhone flagship, a developer has suggested that the Sleep\/Wake button in the soon-to-be-released device might activate Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant Siri.In its iPhone editions released till now, users could long press the iconic Home button to activate Siri.<\/p>\n
According to a report in Macrumors website, iOS developer Guilherme Rambo has also said users may activate Siri by using the voice command \u201cHey Siri\u201d as well.<\/p>\n
Rambo\u2019s comments are based on a discovery that he has made in source code that points to the possibility.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian developer has previously found several details of upcoming Apple products in the company\u2019s beta software, including references to a 4K Apple TV in tvOS 11 as well as references in early HomePod firmware to some features widely expected in the company\u2019s upcoming OLED iPhone.<\/p>\n
Last month Brazilian blog iHelp BR discovered a line of code in the HomePod firmware that suggested the Sleep\/Wake button could in fact change functions on the OLED iPhone depending on the app currently in use.<\/p>\n
The line of code \u201clockButtonAppropriateForShutter\u201d likely relates to the native camera app and may indicate the presence of dual switches, the report in Macrumors added.<\/p>\n
