Hear me out, Bixby button was used to launch Samsung’s personal assistant Bixby. This button is used to launch Siri. Then the button was mended to add further capabilities of launching other apps or phone functions.

    Well that’s disappointing. So not only do you lose a useful switch, you completely lose mute functionality if you use the button for something else?

      Only way to be sure is when the phone is actually released but from what I understood from the keynote. Long hold is mute button and pressing the button is programmable.

      They’ll just put the mute function in the control center if you’re using the button for something else.

          For some. To be completely honest I never use it, I have focus set up for various locations to control stuff like that, I just block most calls when I’m At work for example. I’m sure they’ll add mute as a focus setting.
