Apple is adding a new feature to the iPhone 16 series to enhance user experience: a shutter button. This feature aims to simplify photo and video shooting when the phone is in landscape mode, offering a DSLR-like experience. The new button is integrated with advanced technologies such as multi-motion support and pressure sensitivity. Users will be able to autofocus with a light touch and take a photo with a firmer press. Additionally, the button will allow zooming by sliding left and right.
Details of the New Shutter Button in the iPhone 16 Series
The shutter button will be positioned on the right side of the iPhone. With this change, the mmWave antenna will be moved to the left side of the device. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, this new button may only be available in the Pro models. Apple aims to encourage users to shoot more in landscape mode with this new button, offering an experience compatible with Vision Pro. This innovation could be particularly welcomed by professional photographers and video producers, as it allows for more controlled and professional shooting on mobile devices.
