For some time now, there has been talk about the possibility of devices in the “iPhone 16”which should be launched in September this year, will gain a capture button on its sides, very similar to the current Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro line.

What we still didn’t know was the purpose of this button, although it was implied that it would be related in some way to the Camera application. This, however, has just changed, as o The Information brought some more information about this supposed new feature on Apple smartphones.

According to people familiar with the development of the “iPhones 16”, contrary to what many people suspected, this new button will be mechanical, that is, it can be pressed — just as it is already possible to do with the volume buttons, for example . Despite this, however, it will also be able to recognize touches, which should unlock a greater range of features.

More specifically, users will be able to swipe right or left on the “capture button” to zoom in or out of the image. camera zoom. You can also lightly press the button (without actually pushing it) to adjust the image focusas well as pressing it more firmly to start recording a video.

Furthermore, Apple would be testing this new feature, which should be one of the great attractions of the new devices, in all models of the “iPhone 16” line — which, by the way, should not (once again) bring major changes to its design. The company’s idea would be to establish the iPhone on the market once and for all as an alternative to other cameras when recording horizontal videos.

O The Information did not give details about the positioning of this new button, but o MacRumors it even said in September last year that it will be on the right side of the iPhone, just below the side button. This, it is worth noting, is the position where the 5G (mmWave) antenna of models sold in the United States is currently located, which should therefore be repositioned to the left.

According to the most recent rumor, Apple even considered the idea of ​​using a capacitive button in the past, but ended up abandoning it after the resource’s haptic effects did not reach the quality levels desired by the company. Instead, she decided to use a button that is both mechanical and touch sensitive — and which, it’s worth noting, is likely to cause a lot of headaches for protective cover manufacturers. ????
