iPhone 16 Could Feature Extra Button, Relocated mmWave Antenna and Haptic Action Button

[Guacamole]

the camera/volume buttons should be on the other side

 

[JapanApple]

cool, see what the 16 will be. Update year for me.

 

[hop]

Apple is calling this button the "Capture Button" internally, but it continues to be unclear what exactly it will be used for.

Yeah, that's definitely super vague right there. What could a "capture button" on a smartphone do? Maybe if you push it, it captures fireflies? Maybe ghosts? Fugitives? It's not like there's anything people already do with their phones that involves "capturing" anything. Certainly nothing where there's a long history of other devices that can capture the same thing, having two-stage buttons, which you could probably simulate with a haptic..

Not an upgrade year for me, so unless something REALLY significant comes with the iPhone 16 I'll be sticking with the 15PM for at least 2-3 years.

More buttons? Steve is rolling over in his grave.

Yes, this is what the new button will actually be doing. You press it and Steve Jobs coffin does 360s underground

1 - I was just responding to someone who said "where have all the Apple fans gone?"
2 - To answer your genuine curiosity with your loaded and bait worthy question, I answer because I like to call out stupid comments, disguised as knowledge, based on biased opinion, and not facts.

I am not sure where you get this ridiculous notion that was offended. Please enlighten how, without resorting to pointless opinions not based on facts. Where did I give a single example where I was personally offended?

“I usually defend Apple, and I’m still here”

The fact you feel the need to defend a company that:
A) Doesnt know or care who you are
B) Is a company which therefore has no feelings that are needed to be defended from “haters” or trolls shows that you have a personal attachment to a corporate entity.

Why do you feel the need to defend a company like a close family member?

“Like it’s their life mission to put down Apple. It’s rather pathetic. I say "get a life"”

Why does it bother you so much if someone has something negative to say about Apple? Apple doesn’t care. It can’t care because it’s a corporate entity that only cares about profits so why does it bother you?

I guess you never cut your hand on a sharp leaf.

i think he meant that God didnt create straight lines

 

[ohthehorror]

This is based on nothing more than knocking Apple. No substance, purely boring speculation.

So what. Apple can’t be knocked.

 

[klasma]

i think he meant that God didnt create straight lines

Then he should look at crystalline structures some day.

Where is the substance in yoir argument, other than trying to put me down? No substance at all. I couldn’t care less what you say if you can’t add anything of value.

Does capacitative mean it won't work with a case on? I rather like the sides of my phone to be protected.

Or gloves etc

I’m not putting you down I’m asking you a question which you don’t want to answer. Again you’re taking offence

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Apple Defenders have been comparatively silent on here for several days. I am surprised. Is it getting to be too much even for them? Nah.

Based on my years of visiting this site it always seems like the people calling out supposed Apple defenders are the most vocal.

I assume case makers would just come out with cases that have conductive materials covering the button.

 

[GuruZac]

Will probably replace my 15 Pro Max for a 16 Pro Max/Ultra for the supposed new form factor (6.9” display), under display FaceID.

 

[jlc1978]

Isn’t it high time that the Apple iPhone Pro Max supports the Apple Pencil?

No

BRING BACK TOUCH ID!

I will not rest until we have our right to touch our phones restored!

THUMB PRINT! THUMB PRINT! THUMB PRINT!

I'd like that as long as FaceID stays as well.

the camera/volume buttons should be on the other side

Why?

 

[patent10021]

The Lord gave a button, and the Lord hath taken away a Touch Bar.

 

[BuffaloTF]

“Still a screen with round corners like the CRT monitors and of course the notch.”

may be the notch will be gone by iPhone 25

Maybe by the iPhone 25 we’ll have model year naming… so like… 2 years away. Definitely something Samsung does right here, is what I’m saying.

 

[Marty80]

Introducing the iClick ultra.

iPhone 16 will look almost exactly like the iPhone 15, 14, 13, 12, and 11. #innovation

 

[cocky jeremy]

More buttons, more cameras, can they just make a new 5.4" (or smaller) mini?

They can, but no one buys them, so they won't.

A $1 bill looks similar to a $100 bill. That doesn't make them the same.

 

[darngooddesign]

Maybe a bigger focus on Camera's and photographs in the next round - act like a "shutter" button.

The volume buttons already do that.

 

[uller6]

Round corners is in Apples DNA. They have actively said that it makes the device feel friendlier. The rounded edges makes it feel more natural. Nothing in nature has sharp edges. This is a deliberate design consideration. Same with their computers screens too.

Have you ever seen….rocks?!

 

[boak]

Maybe they can add a Digital Crown for zooming while they're at it.
