iPhone 16 series launch is in a few weeks with four new models coming next month. With leaks and rumours, we may have an idea about what Apple may announce. In an early leak, it was revealed that the iPhone 16 series may come with a new “Capture Button.” However, its features and functionalities were not disclosed until now. A new report has come forward which reveals what the iPhone 16 Capture Button is capable of doing and how the new button will work. 

iPhone 16 Capture Button functionalities 

According to a MacRumors report, the iPhone 16 series is expected to get a new Capture Button which may also allow users to capture photos and videos in a hassle-free way. This new button is suspected to support several gesture motions and conduct tasks based on touch and pressure. The report highlighted some of the gestures and functionalities of the new Capture Button which suggested that it will work like a DSLR camera. 

Not sure which
mobile to buy?

If the user makes a light press on the button, then the camera will be able to autofocus the subject for capturing a photo or a video. However, if the user applies pressure to the button, it will instantly capture the scene. Therefore, users will not have to interact with the display controls to capture images. It also has a zoom-in and out functionality where users just have to swipe left and right over the Capture button. It is also expected that the new button may support a gesture to switch between photo and video modes for easy accessibility. 

Leaks suggest that the Capture Button will be placed on the Right side of the iPhone 16. While some tipsters suggest that the new button will be featured in all iPhone 16 Models, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expected that it will only be available for iPhone 16 Pro models. Therefore, we will have to wait for September to confirm what Apple has planned for its new iPhone 16 series. Also, we may soon get an official announcement regarding the Apple event date.
