When Apple releases its next iPhones, the iPhone 16 series, it could have a different design, with physical buttons replaced by capacitive ones, a new report has said., and it could make for in iPhone that’s subtly unlike any models that have come before. Instead of power and volume buttons that move in and out as you touch them, as now, there would be capacitive buttons which sense pressure and respond with haptic feedback. That feedback makes the button feel like it’s moving when it’s not.
Could Apple make this a capacitive element or would it save this feature for the predicted new Capture button? I’m puzzled as to how the power button could become a capacitive type, but I am excited by the possibility.The report is emphatic that the change will “cancel the physical volume buttons and power buttons on both sides of the fuselage and replace them with capacitive touch buttons,” and that it will lead to “the goal of the physical button disappearing on the iPhone's external body.
That, of course, is the quarter that starts on July 1, and seems preposterously late for Apple’s needs, given that the iPhone is expected to launch in September. If this part of the rumor is accurate, it seems more likely that the buttons are being readied for the iPhone 17 series, not iPhone 16. We think that AI is going to play a part in the new software that’s announced. But it now looks like Apple will introduce a different kind of AI from rival companies. Apple always has privacy front-and-center, and a few months ago, CEO Tim Cook told me the company would never change from this, saying, “We think privacy is more important today than it was ten years ago. It’s one of the most profound issues of the century. We’re not backing off.
