On the 6th generation iPad mini, the role of the volume control button changes accordingly when the main unit is rotated. With the latest beta version of iPadOS 15.4, it is reported that the feature is now available on other iPads.
For example, with the latest iPad mini, if you hold the main unit vertically, the volume will be up on the right and down on the left regardless of whether the power button is up or down.And when you hold it sideways, the upper button always raises the volume, and the lower button lowers the volume.It is a smart method。
According to US 9to5Mac[設定]>[サウンド]The “Fixed Position Volume Controls” option has been added at the bottom of. If you turn this off, the role of the volume control button will change dynamically according to the direction like the 6th generation iPad mini.
This change has been confirmed on the iPad Pro and iPad Air. It’s been natural that the role of the volume button has been fixed for the past 10 years, so it will take some time to get used to it, but at least I’m grateful that I was given the option of “whether or not to use it.”
If you check again, the settings for using this function are as follows.
-
Open the Settings app on your iPad
-
Select a sound in the left sidebar
-
Turn off “Fix Volume Control” at the bottom
Now, no matter which direction you hold your iPad, volume up will be right or up and down will be left or down.
The 6th generation iPad mini has the volume control button and the power button on the same side, which is different from other “volume control buttons on the opposite side of the power button” type. Therefore, it seems that the direction of the volume control button is easy to be aware of, and this function may have been installed in advance.
