Don't think it can be done in software on iPhone so break out the lightning to 3.5mm adapter and connect it to Y splitter one leg goes to an old 3.5mm AirPods/headset with microphone and the other leg to a recorder. Possible yes, convenient nope.

Can you provide context as to the “why”? What is the actual problem you’re trying to solve? If you’re asking people to consider “energy efficiency” in relation to a mechanism for taking a screenshot with one physical button, it sounds like a needlessly over engineered solution.

The buttons you’re referring to already do more than one function. The button that turns the device on is also used to activate Siri. The buttons used to control volume are also used to take pictures. Together, these buttons take screenshots, power down the phone, etc.

The fastest method is for there to be a dedicated, physical screenshot button.

If you needed to do one-thumb screenshot taking with existing hardware, my solution would be to use the power/Siri button with a click-long hold press (imagine the same method for bringing up a card for ApplePay but the second click is held until the screenshot is taken.

I charge it when I go to bed every night or every other night (sometimes on day 2 it'll need plugged in by evening). When it's nightly the battery is usually at 30-40% left from being unplugged at 100% in the morning before work.

Average SOT according to settings is 5 hours between charges (so 70% drain to 5 hours of screen time)
