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

One of the most intriguing rumored changes coming to the iPhone 16 is the 
addition of a new Capture button. Weve heard mention of a new button with 
that name a number of times, but until now no one knew exactly what it might 
do. 

Given the name, it was always likely that it related to the camera, and 
according to Mark Gurman  a leaker with a great track record for Apple 
information  writing for Bloomberg , it does; but more specifically the 
Capture button is apparently a new dedicated button for taking video. 

So in other words, tapping it would probably launch the camera in video mode, 
or maybe even start instantly recording a video. This would obviously be 
useful for anyone who records a lot of videos, or for when you dont want to 
miss a fleeting moment, but wed wager that plenty of people hardly use the 
video camera, so for them this would be a near-useless button. 

Given that Apple added a customizable Action button to the iPhone 15 Pro and 
iPhone 15 Pro Max , it seems that an obvious and far more useful thing to do 
would be to make this a second customizable button, so people have two 
buttons that they can use for whatever they want. 

So thats a bit disappointing  or not, if youd use it for video regardless  
but this is still just a rumor for now, and Gurman could be wrong. The iPad 
Pro could be getting a revamp 

In any case, this isnt the only new Apple information from Gurman, as in the 
same article he also detailed several upcoming iPads, albeit largely just 
reiterating claims hes made before. 

Gurman says that the iPad Pro 2024 is getting revamped, and while he doesnt 
say what that revamp will entail, weve heard elsewhere that it might come in 
a larger size and have an OLED screen. 

He also says a larger screen is planned for the iPad Air 6 (which weve 
previously heard could be 12.9 inches), and claims that both the iPad mini 7 
and the iPad 11 will have a faster chipset than their predecessors, as youd 
expect. 

As for when well find out how accurate any of these claims are, rumors 
suggest that at least some of these new iPad models will land in March, while 
the iPhone 16 line will almost certainly launch in September. You might also
