iPhone 16: Camera button
The dedicated camera button is speculated to be powered by the haptic engine, allowing users to focus on a subject with a soft tap and take a picture with a second tap. The ability of this button is to work like a camera shutter to capture photos and videos. This button will be different from the Action button. iPhone 16 cases leak (Credit: TechNetBooks)
Apple is also reported to have bringing the new Action button to standard models of the iPhone 16 series as well, which is something that the current set of models hasn't received.
iPhone 16 coming in September: What to expect
Under the hood, the iPhone 16 series is expected to be powered by the A18 or A17 Pro chip, depending on the model, with the Pro variants receiving the more powerful version. This new chip will be built on the latest 3-nanometer node, and will likely bring improvements in efficiency and performance, making multitasking smoother and more efficient. An upgrade to 8GB of RAM and default storage starting at 256GB are also on the cards, for more space and speed for all user needs.
The new iPhones will also be said to support Wi-Fi 6E, offering faster and more reliable internet connectivity. Some rumours also suggest the Pro models might be equipped with Wi-Fi 7, further enhancing internet speeds and stability.
Battery life improvements are another key focus for the iPhone 16 series. Leaks suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature larger batteries, potentially offering over 30 hours of battery life. This would be a significant leap from the current all-day battery life promise of the iPhone 15 series. Additionally, Apple is reportedly exploring new ways to manage heat dispersion, addressing concerns raised by overheating issues in previous models.
