The truth is, most just lately, Apple canceled a model of the iPhone 15 Professional initially presupposed to have haptic quantity buttons, which react to strain – just like the Contact ID house “button” on the iPhone SE.
Now, not solely aren’t the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Professional, and iPhone 16 Professional Max turning into “buttonless”, however in comparison with the iPhone 15, all of Apple’s 2024 flagships are set to reach with not just one however two additional buttons!
So… who’s buttons is Apple making an attempt to push?! … This transition doesn’t actually work however let’s hope the iPhone 16’s new buttons will…
Samsung telephones might need 5 cameras, however iPhone 16 is about to change into the flagship cellphone with essentially the most buttons – 5 in complete
Supposed iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Professional, iPhone 16 Professional Max dummy models have leaked, exhibiting a whopping 5 buttons on the perimeters of all 2024 iPhone fashions.
Though the Motion button is a multifunctional, remappable button that can be utilized as a digital camera shutter key, the Seize button is about to take over this operate, enabling granular controls and performance for taking pictures and movies.
Allegedly, the Seize button within the iPhone 16 collection can be a capacitive, pressure-sensitive key moderately than a “actual” button, which implies you’d be capable to “half press” it, to lock focus earlier than “totally urgent” it to take the shot. The Seize button might additionally allow seamless zooming, achieved by swiping left/proper over the important thing’s touch-sensitive floor.

Folks react to leaks/rumors about iPhone 16 gaining two model new buttons
“An iPhone with extra buttons – doesn’t it look bizarre?”, some folks ask on social media… To which I say… How dare you!
I’ve been asking for a devoted digital camera shutter key on telephones (not simply iPhones) for ages, and to this point solely Sony has been constant in giving me what I need.
To nobody’s shock, I don’t plan on shopping for a Sony cellphone for the devoted digital camera key, so the iPhone 16’s tackle the “pro-grade” digital camera function can be the one I’ll be trying ahead to.
As an iPhone 15 Professional Max consumer, I discovered myself having to decide on between setting the Motion button to open the digital camera and mute my iPhone, and that’s a compromise I’d moderately not need to make. And if the answer is so simple as including one other button to the facet of the iPhone… I’ll take it!
I hope Apple will make the Motion and Seize buttons much more helpful by permitting them to carry out a number of actions as an alternative of only one, which looks as if wasted potential (like within the present model of the Motion key). Customized performance primarily based on the app you’re utilizing can be the cherry on prime!

It’s not each day you get two additional buttons along with your new cellphone, which might carry out a bunch of helpful instructions.
When/if the iPhone 16 will get two new buttons, all eyes can be on Apple’s opponents operating Android. The business was fast to observe within the iPhone’s footsteps with the notch, Dynamic Island, and the iPhone 15 Professional’s titanium body. Now, I’d be mendacity if I instructed you a Galaxy S25 Extremely, Pixel 10 Professional, or a Xiaomi 15 Extremely with just a few additional buttons can be a shock to me…
