iPhone 16 Pro - New Button


The 'Capture' button for iPhone 16 Pro is allegedly codenamed 'Project Nova' and could be one of the key selling features for the Pro models. It's believed that the button will be located on the same side as the Power button, but slightly lower, where the mmWave cutout is found. That cutout has purportedly been moved to the opposite side and now sits below the volume buttons.

Functionally, the 'Capture' button is rumored to allow users to zoom in and out by swiping over the button, focus with a soft press (like on DSLRs), and start video recording with a hard press. Notably, the case pictured below uses a full cutout rather than a silicone protected cutout like the Power / Side button, perhaps corroborating those rumors.

Apple isn't expected to unveil its next generation iPhone 16 until this September. You download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for more updates ahead of release.
