On August 20, tipster Majin Buu shared a leaked iPhone 16 launch poster on X with the tagline ‘Ready. Set. Capture.’ However, it turns out that the poster was not created by Apple and does not confirm a September 10 launch for the upcoming series.
While the poster, featuring an Apple logo and emphasizing the word ‘capture’ (thought to symbolize the capture button), appeared convincing, it was actually created and shared by another user on the platform as a way to alleviate boredom.
X user @lorevfx made a post on the platform admitting the matter. He also shared a video showing how he managed to create a convincing poster using Figma and an Ai generated texture within less than 10 minutes. He also shared the entire chat which convinced tipster Majin Buu that the poster was real.
That being said, it’s still unconfirmed whether Apple will host the launch event on September 10 or if the capture button will be available on all iPhone 16 models
Based on previous rumors, the capture button is expected to support multiple gestures. Users will be able to zoom in and out by swiping left and right on the button surface. In addition to that it will work as a two-stage shutter button: a light press will set the focus and a harder press will click the picture. The mechanical control similar to dedicated cameras may also contribute to the overall photo-taking experience.
The company is also working on new AI features for iOS 18. Nonetheless, some of the key AI features could reportedly take the company months to polish and rollout to the new devices.
