HIGHLIGHTS
- In addition to the Action Button, a new “Capture Button” is anticipated for the iPhone 16 series.
- The new clicker may be limited to a single camera feature.
- According to a trustworthy industry source, Apple may designate this new button for recording videos.
The new Action Button, which took the place of the Mute switch, made its debut on the iPhone 15 Pro models in September. The Action Button on the iPhone is capable of a number of other functions in addition to adjusting the ringer settings, such as turning on the flashlight, opening the camera, and pairing with the Shortcuts program. It is anticipated that the iPhone 16 series, scheduled for delivery in the second half of next year, would have some significant design improvements.
The recent information from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman indicates that there won’t be any significant modifications from the iPhone 15 range, the iPhone 16 series is expected to see design improvements next year. It is anticipated that this enigmatic iPhone 16 Pro button will be referred to as the “Capture button.”
New iPhone 16 capture button to record videos
Although the name implies that it might be a separate camera shutter, Apple will use the button to record movies, according to Gurman’s most recent Power On newsletter. This suggests that the iPhone 16 series may possibly have some new video features. Why else would Apple designate a new button specifically for recording videos? It’s also unclear if users will be able to map other camera-related tasks to the new Capture Button.
Gurman further claims that the iPhone 16 Pro versions will sport bigger screens than the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in other places. According to what we’ve heard so far, the new screens for the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are anticipated to be the largest yet—6.2 inches and 6.8 inches, respectively.
