iPhone 16 series camera button

The iPhone 16 series is rumoured to feature a dedicated capture button. Now a new report by The Information says that the capture button will come with gesture controls. So users will be able to do certain gestures to trigger actions such as zooming in and out by swiping left and right on it.

Apple is reportedly planning to add the capture button on all iPhone 16 models.
