They are barely missing two days before the celebration of the long-awaited Apple event September 9. It will be this Monday from 7:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time). At this event, the new iPhone 16 is highly anticipated, but also the AirPods 4, the Apple Watch Series 10, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and maybe even an iPad mini.
Until then, new leaks and others continue to arrive that confirm data we have already seen. Regarding the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max We find several relevant changes. The most notable are its screen enlargements and the appearance of a new button.
The biggest iPhones in history
This “best iPhone ever” and the like is something you hear every time Apple introduces a new iPhone. And aside from the fact that it’s true, it would be strange for Tim Cook to say “this is the new iPhone, even if it’s a little worse than the last one.” However, on this occasion They will literally be the biggest. Especially the “Max” model.
Apple has been gradually increasing the maximum size of its iPhones. The iPhone 6 Plus marked the first big change in 2014 with a 5.5-inch panel. Later, in 2018, the iPhone XS Max would raise it to a 6.5-inch panel and already in an “all-screen” format. The last big change was the iPhone 12 Pro Max in 2020, upping the ante to 6.7 inches.
The new iPhone “Pro” will increase the diagonal of its screen by 0.2 inches
Well then, New iPhones Will Break the Mold Once Again. On the one hand, the iPhone 16 Pro will no longer be the same size as the standard model, as has been the case for years and the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are the latest examples. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, will be unprecedented and will be the largest in history. Even the iPhone 16 Plus will not reach such a high level.
And of course, even if a reduction in frames is expected, it will also mean an increase in the rest of the dimensions, but not so much in weight. This is how the case would remain:

A new button is coming to the iPhone 16 Pro
While the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will debut the action button that was previously exclusive to the “Pro” models, the new iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will now debut one more. It will be down on the right sidethe same one where the lock and Siri summon button is located.
This new button is prematurely known as the “capture button”, although it is not clear what its name will be. The fact is that it will be linked to the camera. A priori, it was thought that as a quick and configurable to take photos or videos with just one button. However, having another configurable button already, this seemed odd.
This is why the idea that also serves as a functional element in the camera appand can be used to adjust settings like zoom and such. All with little swipe gestures, something that would be directly tied to a button that technically won’t be a button.
Leaked iPhone 16 Pro cases confirm this button will be ‘open’
This means that it will actually be a sensor driven by a haptic motor capable of offering small vibrations that give the sensation of being physical buttons (as happened with the home button of the iPhone 7).
This is a theory that is gaining followers after the leak of the iPhone 16 cases and we have observed how the “Pro” and “Pro Max” models do not add a cover for the new button, but leave it exposed. This can be interpreted as that this button, due to its haptic peculiarity, requires pressing it directly with the finger without the case getting in the way.
