Perhaps the biggest Modern feature of theiPhone 16line this year will be the inclusion body of a Capture button for the camera . If the rumors and leaks are correct , this capacitive , haptics - enabled button will be located on the correct side of the phone and a little further down so that it will rest under your power finger when you hold your iPhone in landscape preference to take a pic or video recording .
This button will have multiple subroutine and be usable on both iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models , according to rumors . Several third - party case leaks have demonstrate a long cutout on the side for reaching the button and its many functions .
However , according to a new leak from DuanRui ( a known Chinese leaker ) , Apple ’s official silicone cases willnothave a cutout for this button . He shared an image of a third - party , unofficial case on X to show the difference .
据说，苹果 iPhone 16 系列官方保护壳，没有这个开孔，会做成一体式设计，还不会影响这颗电容式按键正常使用。pic.twitter.com/uSkaQqwXFe
The icon shows iPhone 16 ( non - Pro ) cases with a cutout where the Capture button is expected to be . The interesting part is the textbook , which Google Translate severalize us says : “ It is sound out that the official protective case of Apple iPhone 16 series does not have this opening and will be made into an integrated design , which will not affect the normal utilization of this capacitive button . ”
We have see this with other iPhone buttons in the past . Some official Apple font have covered side buttons , for example ( just as the pictured third - political party case does ) . But more than even the Action push , this button is a bit more high - tech with more capabilities that go beyond but beseech . A thinner silicone tissue layer can give the orbit over a clitoris enough tractableness to easily depress it , and a capacitive material can check that that soupcon and press sensitivity work decently .
Apple will bring out the iPhone 16 at itsGlowtime event on Monday , September 9at 10 am PT .
