Leaker corroborates iPhone 16 capacitive capture button rumor

iPhone 16 could gain capacitive buttons

The rumored “Capture Button” is expected to be capacitive, joined by a capacitive Action Button, on iPhone 16. The new button would be located below the sleep/wake button, requiring the mmWave antenna to move under the volume buttons.

The Action Button and Capture Button would both be capacitive while the remaining volume and power buttons would remain physical switches. No leak claims to know what the Capture Button is for, but the name suggests a camera launcher or similar tool.

Instant Digital doesn’t have a long history, but has shared some accurate details about the yellow iPhone 14, frosted back glass on iPhone 15, and more. The leaker also recently claimed Apple would specifically change the iPad mini 7 hardware to reduce the jelly scrolling effect.
