This function gets the ‘Capture Button’

The usually reliable Apple analyst Mark Gurman has predicted that the iPhone 16’s new button is for recording videos. It is not yet known exactly how this works, but it is quite possible that the operation depends on pressing the button. For example, several camera functions are linked to the new ‘Capture Button’.

Which function is activated depends on the way you press the button. For example, if you hold down the button for a long time, you can immediately record a video. With a short press of the ‘Capture Button’ you only open the camera or just take a photo. These functions are in principle already possible with the action button of the iPhone 15 Pro (Max), but you get a separate button for them on the iPhone 16.

New button comes to all iPhones

The new button will come to all iPhone 16 models next year, including the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This year, the action button only came to the iPhone 15 Pro (Max), but we will also see that button on all models next year. This means that all versions of the iPhone 16 will have an action button and a ‘Capture Button‘.

However, the new button on the iPhone 16 works differently than the action button, because you cannot physically press the ‘Capture Button’. Instead, the button works with vibration motors, which vibrate when you ‘press’ the button. We already know this technology from the home button on the iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone SE 2022. Do you want to know more about the iPhone 16?
