The base models will get the Action button that debuted on the iPhone 15 Pro. Given that iOS 18 has introduced a more customizable Control Center and changeable Lock Screen, the button seems almost redundant now.
In contrast, the new rumored Capture button that will be standard across the lineup according to earlier reports sounds more exciting. Gurman says that the button will work like a DSLR camera button and let you perform operations like activating autofocus, zooming in and out, and, of course, capturing a photo.
The screen on the iPhone 16 Pro will expand from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max‘s display will grow in size from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.
While these changes might be enough to help the iPhone 16 to secure a place on the best phones of 2024 list and might be sufficient to make owners of older iPhones upgrade, they will probably not be enough to drive a super cycle. Apple is expecting as much, which is probably why it didn’t give a prediction for sales growth in the current quarter.
