Despite its advanced camera functionality, Apple's iPhone 16 cases may lack a dedicated cutout for the new Capture button.

As the iPhone 16 launch nears on September 9, 2024, rumours are swirling about its new features and design tweaks. One of the most anticipated additions is the Capture button, which enhances the camera experience on Apple's next-generation iPhone. However, recent leaks suggest that the iPhone 16's official cases might not include a dedicated cutout for this new button.

According to a leak from Duan Rui, Apple's cases for the iPhone 16 will feature an "integrated design," meaning no specific space will be allotted for the Capture button. This may come as a surprise, given the excitement surrounding the button's potential to revolutionize the iPhone camera experience.

The Capture button is expected to include a capacitive surface, offering more functionality than a standard physical button. Users will be able to swipe on it to zoom in and out while a light press brings the image into focus. A firm press will take the photo, making it a versatile addition to the camera setup. Reports suggest that this button will be placed on the right-hand side of the iPhone 16, near the current mmWave 5G antenna location on the iPhone 15.

While the lack of a dedicated cutout in cases might raise concerns, Duan Rui reassures users that this design won't hinder the button's usability. Apple is betting on the capacitive technology to ensure smooth functionality, even without a distinct case opening.

The full details about the iPhone 16's Capture button and whether the integrated case design will affect its performance will be officially revealed at Apple's upcoming event. For now, tech enthusiasts are eager to see how this new feature will enhance the iPhone photography experience.
