Uploaded on November 6, 2023, Carterpcs revealed a recent incident
where his iPhone 15 action button accidentally triggered the phone’s flashlight while in his pocket.
“Today the iPhone 15 action button almost killed me,” he joked before stating it might be a little dramatic.
Carter went on to he began [sic] to feel “searing pain” in his thigh
while in class and sat there for a bit before realizing that it could
have been due to the iPhone’s flashlight being on.
After connecting the dots, Carter was able to turn off his flashlight
and save his leg from any major injury due to the heat.
He did have a suggestion to share with Apple, though. “I feel like
that’s a pretty easy fix. If the flashlight’s been on for an extended period of time, and the camera doesn’t see anything — just turn it off after like 5 minutes,” he said.
Whether or not Carter changed his action button settings after this
incident is unknown, but it’s safe to assume that he’ll be quicker to
shut off his flashlight the next time it gets activated on accident.
