Rumors about the new line continue to spread iPhone 16 smartphones may be equipped with an additional button, as Macrumors writes. In addition, Apple is also planning to move the mmWave antenna away from the left side of the smartphone to accommodate this change. The iPhone 16 Pro's "action button" is expected to be flush with the device as Apple is expected to switch to solid-state technology and ditch the current design. While the action button is expected to change, the volume keys and power keys will remain the same without any changes. These buttons are not currently solid state, although Apple's plans may change. iPhone 16 may get an additional button, and the action button will become solid-state [caption id="attachment_77874" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhone 16[/caption] The purpose of the additional button, which sources call the “capture button,” is still unknown. It is expected to be located under the power button on the right side of the device and will be capacitive. Macrumors claims that the new button will be introduced on all iPhone 16 models, including the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. The announcement of the iPhone 16 is expected in September next year.

34% of respondents have an Apple Watch Young people in the US love the iPhone. A survey by investment bank Piper Sandler found that 87% of respondents own or have previously owned an Apple smartphone, and 88% said they were going to buy an iPhone again.  [caption id="attachment_65164" align="aligncenter" width="780"] iPhones[/caption] It is worth noting that more than 9,000 people were surveyed, and the average age of respondents was just under 16 years.   Young people in the US mostly use iPhones. 88% said they would buy such a smartphone again The survey also showed that 34% of respondents own an Apple Watch smartwatch, while in April, according to a similar survey, the figure was 31%.  Also, Apple Pay, which is logical, dominates among payment systems. But the figure is not so large compared to the share of the iPhone: only 42% of respondents used the payment system in the last month. However, this may be a consequence of the young age of the respondents.  It is also interesting that 31% of respondents own virtual or augmented reality devices. This is a good sign for the upcoming Apple Vision Pro.

There's still no word yet on what a paid subscription will look like When releasing the iPhone 14 smartphones last year, Apple was the first in this market segment to equip its devices with satellite communications. At the time, the company said buyers of new iPhones would be able to use the service for free for a full year, but there were no details about a paid option. It's not typical for Apple, but today the company announced that it is extending free access to Apple's Emergency SOS service for iPhone 14 owners for another year.  [caption id="attachment_82484" align="aligncenter" width="428"] iPhone 14[/caption] Apple's Emergency SOS service for iPhone 14 owners for another year. Emergency SOS via satellite has helped save lives around the world. From the man rescued after his car fell off a 400-foot cliff in Los Angeles to missing hikers found in the Apennine Mountains in Italy. We continue to hear stories of how our clients are able to contact emergency services when they otherwise would not have done so. We're thrilled that iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users will be able to enjoy this groundbreaking service for free for two years. Based on the latest offer, buyers of the new iPhone 15 will get two years of free use of the service. As before, there's no word yet on how much a subscription will cost when it finally launches.   As a reminder, the Apple Emergency SOS service was initially launched only in the US and Canada, but is now available in 16 countries and regions: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA.
