The iPhone 16 will be full of it new features in its screens, cameras and processor. Regarding the design, new colors and a change in the position of the iPhone 16 camera are expected, which will be vertical instead of diagonal. As for the iPhone 16 Pro, the titanium design will be retained and it will have the same triple camera design. However, just like last year, the action button has arrived, this year Apple has been working on a new button that we have never had before.
What is the iPhone 16 capture button?
iPhones have always been the benchmark for photography and video. Generation after generation, Apple includes new features, most of them software-related or physical improvements to the camera lens. The closest thing to this so far is the possibility of take a picture by pressing the volume button
As rumors and some case leaks indicate, the iPhone 16 will reportedly feature a new physical button dedicated to the camera. Code name “Project Nova”would be on the same side as the lock button, but lower. Also, the capture button would have to be a capacitive button rather than a standard mechanical button, so in reality, we will not press on it and we will receive a haptic sensation similar to the one we have in the Apple Pencil Pro or Mac trackpads.
The main function of the iPhone 16 capture button will be make taking pictures easier and add some extra features. The position is essential for video recording and taking horizontal photos, since it would be located just under the index finger of the right hand, as if it were a SLR camera.
What functions will the iPhone 16 action button have?
We will know the action button in its entirety when Apple officially presents the iPhone 16. Everything indicates that it will be the next Tuesday September 10th
- It will be a button that will detect the pressure we exert on it
- It will have different features depending on where we are and what press we are making.
- If we press the capture button lightly, the focus will be done automatically
- By pressing the button hard, you will take a picture
- If we slide our finger to the right or left, we will increase or decrease the zoom
- There will be a gesture to sw itch between photo and video mode.
The autofocus gesture is something that, if have you ever used a reflex camerayou will know it well. It is a “double height” button that, when pressed a little, focuses and, when pressed more, takes the photo.
Which iPhone 16 models will have the capture button
We come to one of the unknowns that so far have no answer. There are rumors and leaks on both sides. Yes it is true that most point to the capture button There will be four modelsincluding the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, Apple would thus boost sales of the entire range with an exclusive tool.
On the other hand, as happened last year with the action button, Apple could leave it exclusively for the iPhone 16 Pro lineup. Phones that will have advanced camera features and therefore will be aimed at the public that will appreciate the functions of the capture button even more. On September 10, if everything goes as planned, we will clear up doubts and finally know all the features of the iPhone 16 capture button and the models where it will be available.
