According to reports from MacRumors, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models, set to be released this fall, have generated quite a buzz among tech enthusiasts. With prototypes in hand, MacRumors has leaked some interesting design details about the highly anticipated devices.

One significant update pertains to the Action Button, which made its debut in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models, replacing the traditional Mute/Ring slider switch. This button offers a press-and-hold alternative for enhanced functionality, allowing users to assign various features such as camera access, Magnifier, Translate, and more. The Action Button also supports additional capabilities via Shortcuts.

Apple has been contemplating how the Action Button should look on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. Four button options have been under consideration, including potentially unifying the volume buttons or keeping them distinct as they are now. There is also the possibility of increasing the size of the Action Button and having a flush-mounted Capture button on the opposite edge for quick access to video and photography. The prototypes have showcased different size options for the Action Button as well.

Interestingly, the Action Button on the prototypes resembles the current one found on the iPhone 15 Pro rather than a capacitive-touch button. This suggests that Apple has put the prospect of a capacitive Action Button on hold for this year's models, possibly affecting future iterations as well.

While there is still a chance for further changes, it is likely that the window for hardware alterations is closing fast, if it hasn't already. The leaked details, however, provide consumers with a sneak peek into what they can expect from the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

As excitement builds for the fall launch of the new iPhones, anticipation is growing for the innovative features and design choices that Apple will introduce. With the Action Button taking center stage in these leaked reports, it remains to be seen how users will respond to the design choices made by Apple in this year's flagship devices.
