We’re expecting the new iPhone 16 to feature a capture button, and if these leaked iPhone 16 cases are anything to go by, that seems to be the case.
Leaked iPhone 16 Cases
User Major Bu has posted a bunch of leaked iPhone 16 cases in various colors on X (formerly Twitter). He’s calling them “iPhone 16 Series Magsafe Case Possible Official Colors Based On Schematics.” The colors are Black, Purple, Pacific Green, Diffuse Moon Red, Cocoa, Dark Blue, Brilliant Blue, Warm Yellow. Some colors will be standard, while others may be available for a limited time only.
Cutout for the capture button
A cutout on the right side of the leaked iPhone 16 cases is presumably intended for the expected capture button. That new button should make it easier to control certain camera functions.
According to earlier rumors, it will be a mechanical button that you can press, but is also touch-sensitive. This way you can zoom in and out by swiping left or right over the button. Just like with a camera, you can press the button halfway to focus and press it all the way to actually take a picture.
However, it remains to be seen to what extent the leaked iPhone 16 cases – which are based on blueprints and dummies – actually reflect reality. It is also possible that this is the result of Majin Bu’s imagination and creativity. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait much longer to find out.
On Monday, September 9, 2024, Apple will launch the iPhone 16 during the event ‘It’s Glowtime‘. Just like last year, Apple is releasing four new iPhones. There will be two cheaper models, the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus. The two advanced models this year are the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
