Following the addition of action button on the iPhone 15 series, Apple is speculated to add another physical button to the iPhone 16 series. The new button is dedicated to the camera and is called the Capture Button. Recent images of the iPhone 16 dummy units also confirm the new addition. Based on the dummy units, Yanko Design has created high-definition renderings of the iPhone 16 and has shared their thoughts about the purpose of adding the Capture Button.
From the speculated buttonless design to more and more buttons
Apple was reportedly trying to make the iPhone buttonless and portless for a while. But these latest additions seem the exact opposite of a buttonless design. Additionally, no other Android device currently has a dedicated button for its camera to work as an inspiration.
According to the publication, there might be two possible reasons behind adding a dedicated Capture Button. Let’s discuss them one by one.
The first and relatively straightforward explanation is that iPhones are running out of scope of improvements that can also differentiate the phone from its predecessor. The capture button will do that.
We earlier reported about the possible features that the dedicated camera button can offer. While the button may make it easier to access the camera, all the features could have also been implemented with the already existing button just above it. Additionally, it’s also getting to a point where the basic functionality of the phone might get a bit confusing to people who will adopt a smartphone first.
The second reason behind adding a dedicated button to the camera, as noted by Yanko Design, could be a way to deliberately focus more on the camera. Apple is currently focusing on “Spatial computing” with its wearable headsets. The iPhone will reportedly take the “second place” going forward just as the iPod did 12 years ago. According to rumors, Apple is working on an affordable headset that will make it easier for people to experience the company’s spatial computing. Meanwhile, the iPhone may become a dedicated photography device.
