Apple iPhone 16 will get Capture Button

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, unveiled a couple weeks ago by Apple feature an Action Button that replaces the sound switch and allows you to perform multiple actions. However, according to MacRumors, next year’s iPhone 16 series will also feature a button internally named «Capture Button» and codenamed «Project Nova». It is claimed that this Capture Button will be located on the right side bezel of the iPhone just where the power button is, but lower down. And since the Capture Button is located where the mmWave notch is, the latter is being moved to the left side bezel, below the volume buttons.

The purpose of this capture button is unclear, but it’s expected to work similarly to the Home button in the iPhone SE, mimicking the press of a physical button. Moreover, unlike the Action button, which is only present in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Capture button will be present in all iPhone 16 models.

The publication claims that Apple has also created a hardware configuration without the Capture Button as a backup in case something doesn’t go as expected.

In addition, the iPhone 16 is expected to get an updated bump with a vertical camera layout like the iPhone 12, while Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature 6.3- and 6.9-inch screens, respectively. That’s 0.2 inches larger than their predecessors.
