You Might Get A Dedicated Button To Click Photos On The iPhone 16

A new leak has once again suggested that Apple Inc.'s AAPL iPhone 16 may feature a capacitive button. While the exact purpose is not known yet, some rumors suggest it could be a dedicated capture button.

What Happened: The new leak hints at the iPhone 16 featuring an extra button and a relocated mmWave antenna. The antenna is likely to be moved to the device’s left side to make room for the new button, according to tipster Instant Digital.

The ‘Pro Action Button' on the iPhone 16 Pro models is expected to sit flush with the device, as Apple moves towards solid-state technology. This is a departure from their current standard button design. However, the design of volume and power keys is expected to remain unchanged.

In late September, MacRumors reported the addition of a new button to the iPhone 16. This button is expected to be featured in all iPhone 16 models, including the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models.

Why It Matters: The introduction of an additional capacitive button on the iPhone 16 could potentially provide users with more control over their device’s functionality.

The relocation of the antenna also suggests that Apple is making changes to optimize the design and usability of their devices. As Apple transitions to solid-state technology, these rumored changes indicate a possible shift in the company’s design philosophy.
