One of the major changes in the iPhone 15 Pro model released by Apple this year is the removal of the mute pick and the use of an Action Button.
It was previously reported that Apple is developing the “Project Bongo” project internally, mainly to test the use of solid-state tactile volume/power buttons for iPhone Pro models.
Foreign technology media MacRumors recently disclosed Apple’s “Project Nova” project again, adding a “Capture Button” on the side of the fuselage. This word has related meanings in the Chinese context such as shooting, screenshots, and retention, but the actual function cannot be confirmed at present. Considered to be one of the selling points of the iPhone 16 series.
Sources say that after Apple plans to introduce the “Capture Button”, it will move the mmWave panel on the side of the US version of the iPhone to the other side and place it below the volume keys.
This location will be consistent with Apple’s discontinued iPhone 11 Smart Battery Case, which featured a dedicated camera button. However, the current operation button can open the camera application. In terms of user experience, placing the shutter button on the lower right side is more ideal than the upper left side.
