Q & A
What is the capture button and what will it do on the iPhone 16?
-The capture button is a new physical button that will be present on all iPhone 16 models. It will allow users to zoom in/out, focus the camera, and start/stop video recordings through different types of presses and gestures.
Why does the author think the capture button marks the beginning of the end for the iPhone?
-The author believes the capture button has been added specifically to support the spatial video feature on Apple's Vision AR/VR headset. This shows Apple is now adding iPhone features to benefit another product rather than iPhone users, indicating a shift in focus away from the iPhone.
What is spatial video and why is it important for Vision?
-Spatial video uses the two cameras on the iPhone to create a parallax effect and sense of depth. It is a key feature of Vision that allows for more immersive video experiences in augmented and virtual reality.
Why is the camera layout changing on the iPhone 16 base models?
-The camera layout is reverting to a vertical alignment to better support spatial video capture, which requires the phone to be held horizontally.
How does vertical video dominate current social media trends?
-Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Stories, and YouTube Shorts have conditioned users to consume vertical video content on their phones. This contrasts with spatial video which requires horizontal capture.
What signs point to the Apple Watch taking priority over iPhone?
-The Apple Watch has been around for nearly 10 years but the iPhone has never received features to specifically improve the Apple Watch experience until now with the capture button and spatial video support.
Why does the author believe mixed reality is the future over improvements to phones?
-Phones may continue to incrementally improve but mixed reality offers more potential for transformational change in how we communicate and compute. Apple has the resources to make major advancements in this emerging space.
How is the capture button similar to when Apple removed the headphone jack?
-It helps ease the transition - the headphone jack removal pushed wireless headphones that will be needed for mixed reality while the capture button gets people used to spatial video capture to prepare them for Vision and future AR/VR devices.
What signs show Vision Pro and its successors will look very different in 10 years?
-The author argues Vision Pro is only the first iteration of a concept and product line that will rapidly evolve. In 10 years, Apple's mixed reality device will likely be far more advanced as the technology matures.
When does the author foresee mixed reality replacing smartphones as our primary device?
-While an exact prediction is not provided, the author suggests that in around 10 years mixed reality has potential to supersede smartphones as our main computing/communication device once the technology and ecosystem are more fully developed.

😀 iPhone's New Capture Button And What It Means for the Future
Paragraph 1 introduces the iPhone 16's new capture button feature that will allow users to zoom, focus, and start recordings. It provides background that this button will be on all iPhone 16 models and speculates it could be accidentally pressed often. The information comes from a leaked source called 'the information' which has a strong accuracy record.
😮💨 Apple's History of Adding Features to Improve iPhone Use
Paragraph 2 reflects on how Apple typically adds new iPhone features to improve user experience and interaction. It suggests the capture button seems to be the first feature added primarily to benefit another Apple product, the Vision Pro AR headset, rather than iPhone users.
😎 The Future is Not in Smartphones, It's Augmented Reality
Paragraph 3 argues the capture button signals the beginning of the end of the iPhone's dominance as Apple's focus shifts to augmented reality. It reflects on the iPhone increasingly becoming an accessory and this button easing the transition to recording spatial video for the Vision Pro headset.

Transcripts
right now I think we are starting to see
the beginning of the end of the iPhone
and no I'm not just saying that for
dramatic effect or for YouTube
clicker can I tell you why I think so we
just got some brand new information on
one of the iPhone 16's killer new
features the capture button which is a
feature or a thing that we have known
about for uh some months now ever since
iPhone 16 stuff started to leak we've
been hearing that the entire lineup from
base model iPhone 16 up to the pro units
are all getting this capture button what
have we known about it well that it's
it's going to capture something but
capture what Pokemon small mammals I
don't know maybe some photo and
video going to go with the last one back
in December Bloomberg's Hobbit turned
Apple analyst Mark Gman confirmed just
that that the capture button is for
video wow so brave I would have never
guessed okay great you're all caught up
perfect congratulations you know what
it's going to capture but we have some
new information that tells us how the
capture button is going
to
uh capture this information comes from
the information like that's literally
the name of the okay now listen I'm
going to tell you right now this website
the
information incredible we don't have to
go over their whole track record I will
just tell you these people basically not
ever wrong in fact they were the first
to actually show us Vision Pro years ago
so if anyone actually has the
information it's the information the
info that's my nickname for them now I
just made that up tells us that the
capture button will actually be
mechanical not capacitive like all the
leaks have been saying since forever but
they say it will still have the
technology that makes it able to respond
to pressure and different types of uh
touch for instance du info tells us that
users will be able to zoom in and out by
swiping l left or right on top of the
capture button itself it could also tell
the camera to focus by pressing lightly
and actually start a recording by really
giving the button to business and
pressing it down with the force of God
as a lot as that sounds as complicated
as that sounds we're still expecting the
capture button to be across the whole
lineup iPhone 16 iPhone 16 plus iPhone
16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max Ultra I which
on all units will have this capture
button placed below the lower lock
unlocky button on the right side kind of
where the weird little millimeter wave
antenna is which will be moved to the
other side now okay so first of all
other than just being another button for
us to accidentally
press I actually think this is a good
idea I think this is cool this is a
single button that has like four
functions that's intense that's like one
more thing that it can do than my cat
and also for the most part it like works
as you would expect it to work it sounds
like intuitive you might have to tell a
couple people like my cat but other
people I think it'll be able to figure
it out now okay listen you're all caught
up with the button what it does how it
does it but this is where this video
really starts in my opinion because even
though I like it I think it's a cool
idea a cool
concept I really do think that this is
the beginning of the end of the iPhone I
know that sounds that sounds crazy so
let me explain myself I will explain
myself from me to you after today's
sponsor I'm so sorry browsing the
internet without a VPN is like using the
bathroom without shutting the door hey
what the and that would be weird
wouldn't it that's why today's episode
is sponsored by our friends over at
nordvpn nordvpn encrypts your connection
protecting you your location your IP
address and more listen you don't need
me to tell you what a VPN is all right
you're a smart person let me just tell
you why nordvpn is the best one 6,000
servers worldwide allowing you to have a
secure stable connection from anywhere
you can secure up to six devices at the
same time and listen people it's real
fast like honestly the thing that keeps
me from turning on a VPN most of the
time is that I will notice it my speeds
will decrease but with nordvpn I don't
know what kind of Witchcraft they got
going on but solid not only do I use
nordvpn to stay safe while traveling but
I use it at home too to access content
typically not available in the US on
streaming services movies TV shows
there's so much out there that I
wouldn't have have access to without
nordvpn get 4 months extra on a 2-year
plan at nordvpn.com FrontPage Tech it's
risk-free with nord's 30-day money back
guarantee and of course a huge thanks to
nordvpn for keeping me safe and
sponsoring today's episode all right
welcome back you definitely watched all
of that thank you so much you definitely
didn't let me down okay uh let's talk
about this capture button but more
importantly why it's a thing at all and
what this means moving forward to
understand this new button let's take a
quick look back at how and why Apple
introduces new features into the iPhone
every time something new gets announced
has been announced we're talking Touch
ID 3D touch Mishu bu live photos face ID
the notch Dynamic Island mag safe
honestly let's just say all of them
Apple introduces them to either give us
new ways to interact with the iPhone or
make the current way we interact better
they try to give us what they think is
best for iPhone so if we can agree on
that much right right let's now take a
look at the capture button and why it
might be there at all in order for us
all to grasp this concept class we're
all going to need to think different
because I think and I could be wrong
here I think apple is giving us the
capture button on iPhone specifically
and
solely for Vision Pro hang on for those
of you unaware one of vision Pro's major
features is something called spatial
video it's incredible actually it allows
content you capture on your iPhone to
have depth and using Vision Pro you're
able to more vividly experience these
videos now in order for spatial video to
work your phone has to be in a
horizontal position it works with these
two vertically placed cameras which is
why the iPhone 16 the Basse models are
going to move back to this sort of
layout for the cameras and using both of
those cameras with the phone in a
horizontal position the lenses are
situated in a way to create a slight
Parallax effect thus creating the
feeling of depth and Science and stuff
it's neat okay the iPhone 16 lineup is
getting its camera layout rearranged for
spatial video and Vision Pro and the
iPhone 16 lineup is getting a whole new
button for spatial video and Vision Pro
so to call spatial video for Apple an
important new feature that would be an
understatement and while that's all well
and good let's look at the current
trends and things like social media and
really even Apple's own decision before
Vision Pro was announced Tik Tok YouTube
shorts Instagram stories I don't know
Snapchat whatever nonsense is on
Facebook vertical video and photo is
King right now this is all sort of just
a side effect of the phone being this
shape we all hold our phone mostly in a
vertical layout that's why all of
Apple's UI elements are also laid out
vertically so in a world like that how
do you almost train or condition your
user base that one spatial video is an
important Fe feature and not bury it in
settings like physically remind them
that it's there you're going to put a
button on the phone that teaches them to
hold the phone the correct way
encourages them to record spatial
video smoothing a transition you could
say this feels like one of if not the
first time apple is adding a new feature
let alone a new button to the iPhone not
solely for the benefit of iPhone users
but instead to improve the experience on
a completely separate product entirely
and to be honest this is this is it this
is not unexpected this is the natural
progression of technology to me this
marks the beginning of the end of iPhone
at least as Apple's focus and no I'm not
just saying this for dramatic effect or
like just as a clickbait YouTube title
like you would see on I don't know Apple
Circle or some other Apple related
clickbait YouTube channel this is not
that I I genuinely believe this we did
an entire video on Apple watch and how
Apple has been slowly but surely making
iPhone into an accessory itself how
Apple has been nudging us into this
direction consider this okay Apple watch
has been around for a very long time
going on 10 years and iPhone has never
received additional features or
especially additional buttons to help
improve any of the Apple watch features
okay this next thing that I'm about to
say I have been saying saying for so
long so many years years before Vision
Pro was ever announced okay and that is
the future is not in our
phones your iPhone isn't the future your
Samsung Galaxy whatever is not the
future we can sure we can do crazy
things with phones now we can start
folding them right we can add extremely
crazy cameras on the back make the
displays even bigger do all that and all
you're actually doing is just making the
removal of the Band-Aid on this problem
just a little little bit slower that's
all you're doing it's just a fat it's
just it's helping us get through the
fact that this is not the future the
future is in AR VR is incredible VR is
so amazing and we'll always have a place
for VR it's going to do incredible
things on its own but the future for us
and humanity is somewhere in mixed
reality so saying that the future is not
in the iPhone the future is somewhere in
Vision Pro the first iteration of Vision
Pro is is not that but apple is too
successful with too many resources too
much money and too much talent behind
them for this project to not eventually
click the future is what Vision Pro
eventually becomes in say 10 years
whatever this product becomes whatever
this product line is is going to look
very different in 10 years but the
concept of mixed reality itself doesn't
change mixed reality in some shape or
form will be how we all live in 10 years
this is the first iPhone feature that is
in place to effectively prepare us for
that future this button is going to be
there to encourage us to record spatial
video for the device that we will all
own in 10 years whatever that device
ends up looking like this feels like
when they took away the headphone jack
and then had to sell us an adapter to
ease that transition this button the
capture button is that it's an adapter
to help us transition from the
technology we know into a foreign
concept most don't understand yet
eventually the iPhone will not be your
main device and this is just the start
of that this is the iPhone helping
itself pass the torch to the next big
thing whenever that next big thing is
ready for us
