iphine 16 pro screen issue when pressing on side buttons

Normal use, but noticed when I press the action, volume or any button on the sides (with the screen on), the button press “indents” the image on the screen. It appears the button press “squeezes” the screen. Anyone else have this issue? See the left part of the screen in this pic:

Feature? The black indent is necessary for the camera control button info display but useless for the other side buttons. I'm glad to hear that it is not a defect in my new 16 Pro.

It's new, thus a new feature. And yes, it's not a defect in your phone. Everyone who has iOS 18 on their iPhone will see these, which most certainly don't bother me and do let me see I've pushed one of the buttons on the side of my phone.

this is the reply from apple:


Thank you for this information! As per carefully having some research here about that squeeze option on your buttons, it seems to be a normal performance from this new iPhone 16. This is designed as an indicator to help our customer identify which button are being clicked at the side of the device.


we'll see.....

It is a new feature with iOS 18 and all it's doing is highlighting which button you have pushed on your iPhone.
