Although the iPhone 16 series is set to be unveiled at the autumn conference, leaks about the appearance and specifications of Apple’s new products continue to emerge. Recently, Sonny Dickson, a reliable source, tweeted showcasing models of the 4 iPhone 16 series. From the images, the overall design is similar to the iPhone 15 series, but what stands out is the inclusion of a new “camera” button across the entire lineup.

While these are model devices and not the actual phones, past experiences suggest they reflect the new phone’s design quite accurately.

There have been ongoing rumors that Apple is considering adding a new button on the right side of the iPhone 16. Reports indicate that this new button will be used for video recording, positioned below the power button. Furthermore, this button will be able to detect changes in the pressure applied by the user and adjust functions such as zooming in or out, taking photos, or focusing accordingly. This feature aims to assist users in capturing moments swiftly.

According to yankodesign and various speculations based on renderings, Apple’s introduction of a camera button in the iPhone 16 series could be interpreted in two ways. On one hand, in recent years, Apple’s innovations have been relatively fewer, lacking significant breakthroughs overall. On the other hand, with Apple’s focus shifting gradually towards the Vision Pro headset, the iPhone line may see smaller updates, marking a diminishing emphasis on iPhone development overall.
