Apple will equip a new button on the iPhone 16 Pro that functions as a dedicated camera button.
According to the latest leaked information from Apple, a new physical button is being added to the iPhone 16 Pro models, designed to function like the shutter button on a mechanical camera.
This physical button will integrate more functions than just a simple camera shutter button, according to CultofMac.
So, how will the iPhone 16 Pro's dedicated shutter button work?
Details on how the dedicated camera button works on the iPhone 16 Pro.
The iPhone has given users increasingly sophisticated options for controlling photography.
In 2023, Apple added an Action button to the iPhone 15 Pro models.
Users can configure this action button to open the camera app and then act as a shutter button along with many other versatile options.
And any of the iPhone's volume up/down buttons can also take a photo.
There's also a camera button on the iOS Lock screen.
And with the upcoming iPhone 16 series coming this September.
Apple is expected to add a new camera button to the iPhone 16 Pro models with many unique integrated features.
“There will be a new camera control button on the right side of the iPhone,” Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed in his latest Power On newsletter this week.
“It will work like a shutter button on a physical camera, where you can press lightly to activate autofocus. Press harder to take a photo.
You can also swipe along the shutter button to zoom in and out while taking photos and videos.”

This new camera button will definitely be on the iPhone 16 Pro models.
But whether it will appear on the two cheaper versions of the upcoming series remains to be seen.
Gurman reports that the cheaper iPhone 16 models will get the iPhone 15 Pro's action button.
The Control Center will be more customizable, and the lock screen will get new options in iOS 18. These new features could make the action button less valuable.
The iPhone 16 Pro may get an upgrade to the ultra-wide-angle lens from 12MP to 48MP, but for now, there's no difference.
The iPhone 16 series will continue to launch with 4 variants including iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Of which, the Pro Max variant will receive exclusive upgrades and come with the most expensive price.
According to rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have larger battery capacity than the previous generation. specific, on the Chinese social network Weibo, an account named Instant Digital posted mAh (milliampere-hour) figures for the batteries on the iPhone 16 Pro (3,577 mAh) and iPhone 16 Pro Max (4,676 mAh) - quite consistent with previously revealed figures .
mAh is a measure of battery capacity, or the amount of electrical charge a battery can store. The higher the mAh rating of a battery, the more power it can hold and the longer it can power a device.
The iPhone 16 Pro pair will have a larger battery than its predecessor.

The biggest difference is the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro compared to the previous iPhone Pro model, recording a more than 9% increase (303 mAh). Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, while not as impressive as its smaller sibling, also has a more than 5% increase (254 mAh). Combined with the performance improvements, this increase should help both high-end smartphones provide longer real-world usage on a single charge.
According to a rumor, this year's iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a battery life of more than 30 hours (up from the 29 hours of the iPhone 15 Pro Max). Not only that, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will use stacked battery technology to increase energy density and extend battery life.

Both flagships are also rumored to support 40W fast wired charging and 20W MagSafe charging.
Previously, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models were only capable of fast charging up to 27W with the appropriate USB-C charger, the official MagSafe charger from Apple and authorized third parties could only charge wirelessly at 15W.
