iPhone 16 to Feature New 'Capture Button' for Enhanced Photo and Video Experience

The button, which responds to touch and pressure, allows users to zoom and focus, aligning with the shift towards horizontal videos.

Apple is reportedly testing a new 'capture button' for the iPhone 16, which will allow users to take photos and videos more conveniently.
The capture button will be mechanical and will respond to both touch and pressure. Users can zoom in and out by swiping left and right on it.
A light press on the capture button will bring subjects into focus on the viewfinder, while a more firm press will activate the shutter button.
The development of the capture button aligns with the shift towards horizontal videos by individual content creators and mobile apps hosting user-generated content.
The capture button is expected to be a key selling point for the iPhone 16, which is due to be released in the fall.
