At first I thought I wouldn’t use it for much since it’s only one button, but using conditions in shortcuts you can do a lot with it. For me holding it horizontally in one orientation before I click it goes straight into the camera. Holding it horizontally the other direction goes to video. Each room of my house has a separate condition set for a list of smart home controls (using home assistant and espresence to determine the room I’m in). When I’m at the gym it starts a weight lifting workout. When I have an online meeting within 5 minutes it starts the meeting. When I’m connected to CarPlay it opens Spotify. You can do as many things with it as you are willing to spend creating conditions (as long as you remember what’s going to happen when you click it 🤣)
