As Apple's September 9th Glowtime event approaches, rumors are swirling about what the iPhone 16 lineup may bring. While many features remain speculative, some intriguing details have emerged from various sources.
New Capture Button
One of the most interesting rumors is the addition of a new Capture button across all iPhone 16 models. This dedicated camera button could potentially detect different pressure levels, allowing for zoom and focus adjustments. However, questions remain about its full capabilities and how Apple will prevent accidental presses.

Brighter Displays
Display brightness continues to be a key battleground for smartphone makers. Reports suggest the iPhone 16 Pro models may receive panels capable of 20% higher brightness compared to their predecessors. This could help Apple compete with recent flagships from Google and Samsung that have pushed peak brightness levels above 2,000 nits.
