The iPhone 16 buttons will change completely

A new rumor suggests that the iPhone 16 will arrive with a historic change: all the buttons would be capacitive

Apple would be preparing a physical change in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro: all buttons would become capacitive instead of physical. A change that was expected for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, but it didn’t arrive on time. A change that would be added to the list of new features that the new models that the company will present in a few months would have.

And, as the media points out Economic Daily, Apple has placed a massive order for the components needed for the iPhone 16’s capacitive buttons from Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE). Components that would make the physical buttons of the iPhone disappear, being a historic change.

Goodbye to physical buttons on the iPhone 16

And it wouldn’t be the first time that Apple has launched something like this in one of its products. He already has experience. It all started with him iPhone 7 Touch ID button. A flat surface with feedback haptic that allowed you to have the sensation of pressing a button when in reality you were not. And that’s just what would happen if the iPhone 16 buttons end up being capacitive.

This would be possible thanks to the implementation of two touch motors and two system level package (SiP) modules. On the other hand, the Action Button would also come in here, which would be present in all iPhone 16 models, despite the fact that a recent survey has determined that half of users do not use it.

It’s about buttons because let’s remember that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will also include a new button called Capture Button, which would be dedicated to photography and which would also be sensitive to touch and pressure. Which means that you can perform actions with it by making sliding gestures or applying more or less force.

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) to start mass production of Apple order starting in the third quarter, which means that the capacitive buttons could be ready to be put on the iPhone 16 that Apple will present next September. Without a doubt, another design change that would add to the titanium and the more rounded edges that we saw last year.
