According to the Apple expert, Mark Gurmanwho usually has exclusive information about the company, the Cupertino company could incorporate an additional button that would transform the way photographs are captured.
Taking traditional cameras as a reference, Apple would be developing a button similar to the one used by DSLRwhich would provide greater control over shooting when taking photos with the phone. This innovation would be available exclusively on high-end models: the iPhone 16 Pro and its superior version, the Pro Max.
Although many details are not yet known, the button would be located in the top right corner when the device is placed horizontally, evoking early compact digital cameras. A light press would activate autofocus, in the style of professional cameras. A full press would take the photo. The button may also allow zoom control, although the exact operation has not been clarified. It could be touch-sensitive, allowing you to slide your finger, similar to the volume control on AirPods.
