One of the intriguing rumored modifications coming to the iPhone 16 is the addition of a brand new ‘Seize button’. We’ve heard point out of a brand new button with that title quite a lot of instances, however till now nobody knew precisely what it would do.

Given the title, it was at all times probably that it associated to the digital camera, and in accordance with Mark Gurman – a leaker with an important monitor report for Apple data – writing for Bloomberg, it does; however extra particularly the Seize button is outwardly “a brand new devoted button for taking video.” 

So in different phrases, tapping it will most likely launch the digital camera in video mode, or possibly even begin immediately recording a video. This might clearly be helpful for anybody who information plenty of movies, or for whenever you don’t need to miss a fleeting second, however we’d wager that loads of individuals hardly use the video digital camera, so for them this may be a near-useless button.

On condition that Apple added a customizable Motion button to the iPhone 15 Professional and iPhone 15 Professional Max, plainly an apparent and way more helpful factor to do could be to make this a second customizable button, so individuals have two buttons that they will use for no matter they need.

In order that’s a bit disappointing – or not, when you’d use it for video regardless – however that is nonetheless only a rumor for now, and Gurman might be incorrect.

In any case, this isn’t the one new Apple data from Gurman, as in the identical article he additionally detailed a number of upcoming iPads, albeit largely simply reiterating claims he’s made earlier than.

Gurman says that the iPad Professional 2024 is getting “revamped”, and whereas he doesn’t say what that revamp will entail, we’ve heard elsewhere that it would are available a bigger measurement and have an OLED display screen.

He additionally says a bigger display screen is deliberate for the iPad Air 6 (which we’ve beforehand heard might be 12.9 inches), and claims that each the iPad mini 7 and the iPad 11 could have a sooner chipset than their predecessors, as you’d anticipate.

As for after we’ll learn how correct any of those claims are, rumors counsel that at the least a few of these new iPad fashions will land in March, whereas the iPhone 16 line will virtually definitely launch in September.
