Apple is highly rumored to add a new set of buttons to the iPhone 16 series. The standard models are said to gain both an Action Button and a new camera capture key while the Pro should see the latter component added. Now, fresh photos of the purported dummy units have surfaced, giving us the closest view on the final looks of these upcoming iPhones, including the new buttons.
Apple’s iPhone generation with the most buttons
The same source that previously shared the photo of an iPhone 16 Pro case has published a set of images of the iPhone 16 dummies. Based on the materials, it shows the redesigned camera arrangement for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, which now sport dual module arranged vertically. As for the Pro duo, the triple camera alignment remains unchanged.
On the right side, all iPhone 16 models are depicted with a new camera button placed below the power key which is touted to support capacitive and shutter controls. While this button could also be an antenna for the mmWave 5G similar to the US variant of the iPhone 15 (review), it does appear to be recessed and has a slope edging around it as opposed to the flat antenna cutout.
The left side of iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro come with an Action Button and volume rocker. And based on reports, those regional variants that support mmWave 5G may see the dedicated provision to be repositioned along this section.
Furthermore, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are tipped to feature slightly wider displays than their predecessor, and that difference is visible in their taller form compared to the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
What else is new with the iPhone 16
As for other known details, the iPhone 16 Pro duo is said to be offered in rose and space black colors. Plus, they will likely be carrying over the same titanium frame from the iPhone 15 Pro, but they could sport even thinner bezels through the new Border Reduction Structure or BRS technology.
Internally, the iPhone 16 could enlist the A18 SoC, faster Wi-Fi 6E, and 8 GB RAM. On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro could get a more capable A18 Pro chip and a new ultrawide camera. Apple is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 16 in fall.
Do you think having more buttons will improve usability on these iPhones? How would you change the iPhone 16? We like to hear your opinion.
