So the iPhones can't have buttons but the cases can? That's just buttons with extra steps.

I've stopped caring about Apple so much, that I forgot to look forward to September. This year flew by.
It peaked after papijump
It really did… my six year old iPhone XS Max is still perfect, so I never even think about changing anything.
I guess this is the year I upgrade. I do love the idea of 120hz and a terabyte…
I remember a flying saucer game that had an "abduct" button. This sounds similar. Or maybe it means regulatory capture.
Why not call it a "shutter button"?
Because that name already exists
Sony has entered the chat. - the shutter button is one of the best features of the Xperia line, for sure. I used it extensively when it was my go-to phone.
"Groundbreaking". Sure.
Don't the volume buttons already take a picture?
I am not sure why the case is a big deal because clearly the actual button is still on the phone itself. It looks like a “touch strip”
After giving it 5 solid minuts of thought.
As a lefty this could potential cause major annoyances.
But imagining the functionality which appears to be made for horizontal camera work it would allow easy zooming in and out with only using one hand which could be useful and is good for accessibility
Could be related/experimental towards to ai vision features where its normalized to record your surroundings while you do stuff to get vocal feedback. I can imagine how zoom plays an important role into the context window the ai is provided with.
