Description:
Every iPhone 16 model might have a new button according to the latest leak, 
but it's not clear what it will do.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apple introduced a new button to its iPhone line with the Action button on 
the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max , but surprisingly, the company could 
have even more buttons planned, with another new button reportedly set for 
inclusion on every iPhone 16 model. 

This comes from leaker Instant Digital, who posted the tip on Weibo (via 
MacRumors ), and while wed take the claim with a pinch of salt  especially as 
its so early for iPhone 16 rumors  theyve accurately leaked Apple information 
in the past. 

However, this button is a bit of a mystery, because while Instant Digital 
says theres a great chance that every iPhone 16 model will have it  meaning 
the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro 
Max  they dont say what it will do. Tweaks to the design 

What Instant Digital does say is that apparently the mmWave antenna will be 
moved to the left edge of these phones, so that theres space on the right 
edge for this new button. 

They also say that changes are coming to the Action button, which will 
apparently switch to a solid-state design, meaning it would sit flush with 
the side of the phone and wouldnt move when pressed, instead delivering 
haptic feedback (vibrations). The power and volume buttons will supposedly 
remain as they are now, though. 

Weve heard much of this before, with an earlier iPhone 16 leak also 
mentioning this mysterious new button , and saying that this too would be 
solid-state. That leak further stated that the new button is known internally 
as the Capture button, which suggests it might have something to do with the 
camera  perhaps its for taking photos. 

It seems odd, though, that Apple would add new buttons to the iPhone two 
years in a row, especially when the Action button is customizable, so it can 
already be used for a lot of different things. 

So, were not at all sure about this, and we probably wont find out Apples 
plans until September of 2024, as thats when the iPhone 16 line is expected 
to release. You might also like iPhone 16 : release date speculation, latest
