iPhone 16 could copy a Sony Xperia camera feature that professionals will appreciate،
Now that the Galaxy S24 is out, the next high-profile Candybar smartphone launch to look forward to is the iPhone 16. One of the major changes expected this year is a new capture button for taking photos and videos and, according to a new leak, it could bring digital camera-like features to Apple's 2024 lineup.
According to a rumor from Weibo user Instant Digital spotted by MacRumorsTHE iPhone16The Capture button will be able to detect different levels of pressure, similar to how two-level shutter buttons on digital cameras work.
Apparently, pressing halfway will allow the iPhone16 to get the focus you want and a full press will take a photo. The idea is to give the camera enough time for adjustments so that the image isn't too blurry.
This is a feature that many DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have and the iPhone16 wouldn't be the first phone to offer this feature. Some Xperia phones also have dual-level shutter buttons and some Lumia and HTC handsets also have dual-shutter cameras. On most smartphones today, you can tap your finger on the screen to lock the focus and exposure settings.
So why is Apple adding a button-based two-step shutter system when you can achieve the same thing by tapping the screen? Probably for the same reason, it equips the iPhone16 with a capture button.
A dedicated capture button will allow you to take photos quickly. Although the iPhone 15 Pro's action button can be programmed to launch the camera, its location means you might end up covering one of the lenses with your thumb when using the phone horizontally.
Instant Digital adds that the Capture button will mean the iPhone16The emphasis is on photography. Although the iPhone 15 Pro is among the best camera phones of 2024, competition is heating up and Apple likely wants to differentiate its offerings by showing that it goes beyond other manufacturers.
THE iPhone16 shouldn't be a drastic upgrade over the iPhone 15 and the Capture button and iOS 18 will be one of its biggest selling points.
