New leaks suggest that Apple is planning an "integrated design" for iPhone 16 cases that would accommodate the addition of this new button.
The new shutter button will have a capacitive touch surface design. iPhone 16 users will be able to swipe left or right on the button to zoom in or out. A light press will sharpen the image and a harder press will take the photo. The button is expected to be located on the right side of the iPhone 16.
One of the questions surrounding the iPhone 16 rumors is how case makers will adjust to the presence of a separate shutter button.
New information from Duan Rui - a source specializing in providing leaks about Apple devices has revealed how iPhone 16 cases are designed to fit this new button.
According to Duan Rui, Apple's iPhone 16 cases will not have a dedicated cutout for the shutter button. Instead, Apple is focusing on an "integrated design" for the button on the cases. This integrated design "will not affect the normal use" of the shutter button's capacitive touch surface.
There are no further details on the design at this time. However, this differs from third-party case makers. All third-party iPhone 16 cases shown so far have this cutout instead of some kind of integrated design.
Another notable question is whether Apple will continue to use the previously criticized FineWoven cases for the iPhone 16. There is no specific information on this issue at this time.
