The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are rumored to have a new Capture button, which we saw in leaked renders earlier this month. The Information reports that Apple is testing its Capture button across all iPhone 16 models, including the baseline iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, as well as some details on its additional functions.
Located on the lower right-hand side of the new iPhone 16 devices, the Capture button will allow users to capture images and videos instantly. A force touch sensor and flush mounting on the phone’s frame have been rumored in the past.
It will be possible to focus and capture images or start recording videos with a half-press or a full-press. Additionally, Apple is rumored to introduce swipe gestures for zoom controls directly from the Capture button. With the 5x tetraprism lens rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro, these new zoom controls will be useful.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo and The Elec, Apple will equip both iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max with advanced telephoto lenses next year. According to MacRumors, their sources have also confirmed the rumor.
There is a tetraprism telephoto lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, but not on the smaller iPhone 15 Pro. Due to its size, the tetraprism telephoto lens would not fit into the smaller Pro variant’s 6.1-inch frame. According to the latest report, both iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will feature a tetraprism telephoto lens next year. If you want all the features of the Pro model without all the bulk, this is good news for you.
MacRumors reports that Apple will increase the overall dimensions of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Apple plans to increase the iPhone 16 Pro’s size from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches and the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s size from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches. Due to this increase in size, Apple will also be able to fit the new tetraprism telephoto camera in the 16 Pro model.
MacRumors claims to have seen internal Apple documentation that supports this claim. The 16 Pro’s camera module appears to be similar to the one on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, according to the documents. In the internal documents of the iPhone 16 Pro, the tetraprism components can be easily identified at a glance, according to MacRumors.
