Leaked images shared by Sonny Dixon on social media have sparked rumors around a possible future design change iPhone 16. These images show a third-party case. iPhone 16 Pro There is a dedicated cutout on the right side where Apple is said to introduce a new “camera button”.

Camera button expected iPhone 16 will offer full control over video and photo functions

It is unclear whether the manufacturer of the case has confirmed the information or is just using rumors. However, this leak coincides with reports from MacRumors earlier this year, which revealed Apple’s plans to equip all iPhone 16 models with a dedicated camera button.

This “capture button” is expected to offer intuitive control over photo and video functions. Users can swipe left and right to zoom, tap to focus, and swipe to start recording. The button design will likely be flush with the body of the phone and will require a cutout in the body for functionality.

An interesting consequence of this new button layout is its ergonomic advantage for horizontal video recording. The “shooting button” will be located on the top edge, allowing for a more convenient shutter release compared to the current volume button method.

It’s important to note that the addition of this button may require a slight redesign for US iPhone 16 models. The hole for the millimeter band 5G antenna will most likely be moved to the bottom left of the phone, below the volume buttons. This won’t affect models in other regions where the iPhone 12 only depends on sub-6GHz bands.

While Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 16 series in September, these sources offer a glimpse of potential design and functionality changes. For now, we need to approach all this information with caution, but it is certain that we are faced with some interesting new developments.
