iPhone Volume Buttons: Uncharted Territory

We all know how revolutionary the iPhone has been since its debut. Despite its minimalist design — featuring only three main buttons — the iPhone volume buttons do far more than just adjust sound levels. Beneath their simple function lies a set of hidden features that make your iPhone even more versatile and powerful.
