Since before the launch of the iPhone 15, we have been hearing rumors about the iPhone 16 model which is now months away from its official launch. Now, we have an idea of what Apple might plan to add to their new generation of iPhones. However, we can not be certain of the rumors as the launch is still away and the company could still make massive changes to their devices. However, one rumour we came across was the introduction of a new capture button but its functionality was unknown. Now, a recent report says that the button will be used to capture videos on iPhone 16. Know more about the new iPhone 16 Capture Button functions here.
According to Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman's newsletter, the new capture button may be utilized for recording videos. Gurman has hinted that the “Lower-end models will get the Action button, and there will be a new dedicated button for taking video.” This statement also showcases that all models of iPhone 16 will be getting the capture button, yes the plain vanilla ones too, which is currently available only in iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
According to a Macrumors report, the iPhone 16 capture button will be placed on the bottom right of the iPhone. It is expected that the upcoming capture button will be installed with an advanced sensor that will recognize your touch without users having to apply much pressure to use its functionalities. It is expected this smooth touch feature haptic feedback will recognise it instantly.
Apple might be integrating the capture button with video recording functionality to encourage users to capture videos in spatial format which can later be viewed in the upcoming Vision Pro headset. Therefore, the new button will make capturing videos more accessible and quick. As of now, the spatial video feature has been added to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max versions to make them ready for the Apple Vision Pro headset which is rumored to be launched in anywhere between January and March 2024.

Apple Inc. got itself a new bear as expectations of soft demand for its latest iPhone prompted analysts at Barclays Plc to downgrade the stock. Shares fell 3.6% on Tuesday, their biggest one-day percentage drop since September, and the decline erased more than $107 billion in market value. Barclays analysts led by Tim Long cut their rating on Apple to underweight and price target by $1 to $160, compared with the stock's Tuesday closing price of $185.64. “We expect reversion after a year when most quarters were missed and the stock outperformed,” the analysts wrote in a note on Tuesday. “Our checks remain negative on volumes and mix for iPhone 15, and we see no features or upgrades that are likely to make the iPhone 16 more compelling.”
