The all-new physical keys on the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max feature a two-stage click like a professional camera.
Page91mobilesposted images of what is believed to be the rough design of the iPhone 16 Pro with some changes in appearance. In particular, Apple will slightly increase the screen size as well as add a physical button.
Rumors about a dedicated shutter button on the iPhone 16 Pro have been circulating since early February, but this is the first time the design has been revealed. The manufacturer is said to have placed it below the power button on the right side of the device, making it convenient for the index finger to press the shutter when holding horizontally. The design is similar to the shutter button on a professional camera with two stages: the user will press lightly to focus and press harder to take a photo.
The idea of adding a shutter button is not new in the smartphone world. Sony has done it with the Xperia 1 series models. When there is an additional physical button, users can take photos more easily with one hand and the button pressing action creates the feeling of using a professional camera.
In addition, the source also said that the size of the iPhone 16 Pro is 149.6 x 71.4 x 8.4 mm, slightly larger both horizontally and vertically than the iPhone 15 Pro. Previous rumors also predicted that Apple's new phone will increase in size to 6.3 inches compared to 6.1 inches of the old model. The screen border of the device is also made slightly thinner.
According toGSMArena, the increase in size of the iPhone 16 Pro may be due to the need to upgrade space when switching to a 5x telephoto camera like the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 series is expected to be announced by Apple in September. In addition to the new button, the product is said to have a larger screen, equipped with the A18 Pro chip, the Pro version has a strong camera upgrade, supports Wi-Fi 7 and 5G Advance connectivity, and uses a graphene cooling system. In addition, the iPhone 16 can support generative AI, allowing users to interact with chatbots or create text images right on the phone.
