Already It’s just a little less than eight months until Apple unveils the next-generation iPhone 16This means that more than a third of the year has passed between the launch and the launch of the new version of the smartphone from Cupertino. Time really does fly, and although right now we feel like we haven’t digested all the gastronomic extravaganzas of Christmas, before we know it we’ll be attending, more or less enthusiastically, back to Apple school.

I know it may seem like I’m exaggerating a bit, and it may be true, but I’m not exaggerating when I say that People started talking about what to expect from the iPhone 16 even before the 15th launchthanks to the rumors and leaks that have long accompanied each generation of Apple smartphones, something the company claims to avoid, even taking legal action on occasion, but which has been ongoing for more than 10 years.

If you think that I am exaggerating again, I will show you that you are wrong in this case and the fact is that I am January 11, 2023, more than a year ago, when it was leaked that the next generation would be the first to integrate Face ID elements under the screen. Four months later, the 14th generation was on the market. We recently “learned” that the Pro version of the iPhone 16 will have significant camera improvements compared to the 15 Pro.

Well, we’re not digressing from the topic of image and video capture, one of the strengths of today’s flagship smartphones, as The Information reports that Apple is testing a physical photo and video button targeting the iPhone 16for this purpose, a specific control element that could remind us of the trigger of classic cameras and which, at least in this test phase, is located on the lower left side (where the buttons for adjusting the volume are located) .

According to the information that said medium has, This “photo button” is both tactile and mechanicalwith different functions if we simply touch it or press it, something that could be very practical to bring up the camera function, quick settings (default button like zoom setting) and take photos, all while holding and controlling when needed iPhone 16 One hand.
