The new Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro models was the biggest physical change that Apple brought to its next gen smartphones. It offers multi purpose functionality in exchange for the mute switch. Now, a new report hints that the iPhone 16 series adds another new Capture Button and even reveals some of its functions.

Apple iPhone 16 Capture Button

The news arrives from a report from The Information. Apple’s 2024 iPhones are expected to feature a capture button that will fulfill multiple purposes related to photography. With that single button, users can basically gain quick access to certain features. The report states that the Capture Button may offer a zoom function as well as focus adjustments. So it may let you zoom in and out by clicking left and right on the iPhone 16 Capture button.

We can also expect this button to support other functions as well. Applied pressure could also be sensed by this button. In other words, a light press and a heavier press perform different actions. For example, a light press gets focus adjustment and a heavier press may serve as the shutter button. The report claims that the Capture Button will be situated on the right side of the upcoming iPhones, right below the power button.

Since the Cupertino based giant reserves the newest changes and features to the higher end Pro models, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max would likely feature this button. We also reported on the build and camera details regarding the iPhone 16 Pros earlier this week. A separate report also revealed that the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus features 8GB of RAM and WiFi 6E.
