The iPhone 16 is rumored to have several user interface changes, including a vertically arranged camera system, an Action Button, and a new Capture Button1. The vertical camera arrangement allows for side-by-side lenses when recording in landscape mode, enabling stereoscopic videos for 3D playback on the Apple Vision Pro headset. The Action Button is a programmable physical button for assigning shortcuts or actions. The Capture Button is a pressure-sensitive camera button, a first for iPhones.
The new Camera Button on iPhone 16 is a dedicated feature that lets users take photos and videos more conveniently4. It is expected to be pressure sensitive, allowing for a multi-stage press. Users can focus lock with a "half-press" and take a picture with a full press. The button may also support swipe gestures for zooming in and out while shooting videos.
