As a refresher, the Camera Control on the iPhone 16 is a complex piece of engineering. It combines a pressure-sensitive button with a capacitive surface on which you can swipe and tap to manipulate the Camera app. You can press the button to take a picture and swipe on its surface to switch between modes, zoom in and out, and more.
The rumor comes from the Instant Digital account on Weibo, which has accurately leaked information about upcoming iPhones in the past. They say Apple is currently running normal trial production of the pressure sensor used in the iPhone’s Camera Control. The company, however, has removed the touch-sensitive component from the button.
The report specifically cites the high production cost and long-term reliability concerns of the Camera Control as reasons for this change. I’m sure that user feedback is also playing a role.
