Although some people are still waiting for their orders to be processed iPhone 15 Pro, there is already a lot of discussion on the internet about its successor. iPhone 16 to iPhone 16 Pro should be according to the acquaintance leakerand from Weibo with the nickname Instant Digital equipped with another physical button. This button should be located on the right side of the phone below the power button. Apple internally it refers to this button as the Capture Button and it should be a capacitive button rather than a classic button. Given the name and its location, it is very likely that Apple will bring to iPhone 16 For a iPhone 16 button, which we know as the shutter release on cameras, i.e. the button that can be pressed halfway to focus and once the image is in focus, you press it fully to take the photo. So that it can Apple add button, it must move the location of the mmWave antenna from the right to the left side of the phone.
That seems a bit excessive to me Apple, their goal is simplicity and 5 buttons on iphone probably not very big for the uninitiated +
It mainly seems to me that somehow Apple he can't think about what he really wants. On the one hand, it cancels physical ports and physical switches and buttons, on the other hand, it adds new ones, and on top of that, each one is differently designed in terms of pressure and response. So, there we have it: More possibilities to press something by mistake just by holding the phone, more things to remember, more technical complications that can go wrong with the phone either internally or by external damage, a lot more complications for case manufacturers, which I really don't envy , and more scares for those who, like me, carry their phone in their pocket or some kind of bag near things where it all rubs against each other. And I'm not talking about the completely stupid control of these conveniences with chafed, wet, frozen or otherwise numb fingers, or the need to wear gloves. A physical volume switch or a physical lock button, as I have for example on the iPhone 11 Pro, this can still be managed even with gloves or in a pocket by feeling, but these hard-to-feel semi-touch conveniences, that's for some corporate tie-breakers who have a phone anyway always exposed only in front of him on the table, he sits nicely in his sweatpants and doesn't often touch his hands to work. And I don't mean that in any bad way either. But it seems a bit schizophrenic to me. On the one hand, we want the phone to be made of titanium, waterproof, durable and indestructible in all conditions, as if it were a tool for professional climbers or divers, but on the other hand, we keep taking away the physical possibilities or reducing the comfort of their physical use in demanding conditions. At the same time, every professional who uses quality equipment knows that physically recognizable and easily and reliably usable elements at any time are damn important. It's like if a mountaineer with frozen fingers had to unfasten the buckle on his backpack with a touch gesture, or a diver had to adjust the oxygen setting with something inconspicuous that tingles a little under his fingers until he manages to change some value on it. As a pianist, I also won't buy a haptic grand piano, even if it sounds more amazing, because it simply won't be playable.
