We are still roughly 8 months away from the launch of the iPhone 16 series, but the rumor mill is working at its full potential. Among the latest addition to the iPhone 16 rumors is the feature of the capture button which is expected over all iPhone 16 buttons. According to the latest report, the capacitive capture button on the iPhone 16 series will allow users to zoom in and out by swiping on it.

The Information shared a report that the capture button on the iPhone 16 will be a key selling point and will target individual creators who shoot and post horizontal videos on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat. The paywall report says the capture button will be mechanical as opposed to solid-state, which was previously rumored.
Although mechanical, the button will be sensitive to touch and react to pressure exerted by users. This will facilitate functions like zooming in and out while clicking a photo or recording a video.
It will help users "focus images by pressing it lightly and activate the shutter by pressing the button harder."
