IT House quoted the media report as saying that in the development of the iPhone 16 Pro model, Apple tested 4 button configurations and 2 sizes, including: a unified volume button with a small-sized operation button; a unified volume button with a large-size operation button and New photo button; independent volume button, large operation button and photo button flush with the frame; independent volume button, small operation button, photo button flush with the frame.

IT House reported that the earliest prototype of the iPhone 16 Pro was designed using the Project Bongo project. It had a unified volume button and a small multi-function button, both located on the left, and the power button was located on the right. However, due to unsatisfactory test results and The hardware failure rate is high, so Apple abandoned this design.

But part of the Bongo project design, namely the unified volume buttons, appeared in the early design of the iPhone 16 Pro; the second prototype of the iPhone 16 Pro also used unified volume buttons, but it had a larger operation button , the size is close to the volume button, and the prototype also adds a camera button below the right side of the power button.

Later prototypes featured individual volume buttons rather than a unified button design. Apple plans to add capacitive action buttons and camera buttons to these new products, both of which will be flush with the bezel and use force sensor technology.

In the latest “Proto2” design, Apple has once again changed the operation button. Now, Apple uses a smaller operation button, which is basically the same as the operation button on the iPhone 15 Pro, giving up the larger flush appearance. While it’s unclear what impact this will have on Apple’s future capacitive action buttons, such a significant design change suggests it has been canceled or delayed to future iPhone versions.
