Most likely it is capacitive and doesn’t actually move and they are using the haptics engine to make it feel like a button. It works surprisingly well on the iPhone SE with Touch ID. You can’t even really tell that it’s not actually moving when you press it.
- Kirby64 2y agoIn the side shot cutaways you could see an actual physical micro switch. Their cutaway shots tend to be accurate, so it looks to be an actual physical switch.
- gorbypark 2y agoturns out it's both! seems like a physical microswitch for taking a photo with the button itself also being capacitive and they are using haptics for the "half press" feature (as well as touch sensitivity, slide between modes, etc).
- Kirby64 2y agoWell, but it’s not both. It has a physical travel, that was the question. Whether there’s additional functionality beyond that done by cap/force was pretty clearly a yes based on the keynote.
