The rumored new Capture button being added to the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro is causing a ripple of changes according to Weibo leaker Setsuna Digital.

This alleged button is to be positioned under the power button according to the leak, meaning that the mmWave 5G antenna will need to be moved from the right side of the iPhone to the left. We doubt this would cause a noticeable change to the user experience, but there's always the possibility of further knock-on effects. Apple's had issues with antenna placement before after all — famously with the iPhone 4.

But what does the Capture button do?

While it's one of the biggest new features tipped for the iPhone 16, we're still not sure what exactly the Capture button is for, but the name suggests it's going to be camera-related, perhaps acting as a shutter button or Camera app shortcut.

We may also see the iPhone 16 series add a new telephoto camera lens, and larger displays for the Pro models. And while it's a little early for release date leaks, we assume we'll see the new iPhones next September right on schedule.
