It seems like Apple is making some big design changes to the new iPhone 16 this year.
Based on some of the reporting that’s already out there, that’s not exactly news, but now we have some compelling new photographic evidence to give us an idea of what those changes look like.
Sonny Dickson shared some photos of alleged dummy iPhone 16 units on X, and if these photos are to be believed, Apple has gone button-wild this year.
Which buttons may appear on iPhone 16?
Aside from the usual power button and volume rockers, Apple has given every iPhone 16 model a programmable action button on the left side, something that was reserved for the iPhone 15 Pro models last year.
On the right side is a new “Capture” button, which will supposedly be used for zooming and snapping photos in a more intuitive way than is currently possible on iPhones.
Aside from those buttons, it looks like the iPhone 16 Pro models will both be 0.2-inches larger than last year. The iPhone 16 Pro will be 6.3-inches and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be 6.9-inches, per 9to5Mac.
I’m just sad they aren’t bringing the physical home button back à la the iPhone SE series, but that’s life.
