iPhone 16 Camera Control visible on iPhone 15 Pro in Apple Event

I conducted an online search but was unable to find any relevant information on this topic. During the Apple Event held on September 12, 2023 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiP1l7jlIIA), at precisely 56 minutes and 17 seconds (https://youtu.be/ZiP1l7jlIIA?t=3377), the camera control of the iPhone 16 family is visibly shown on the iPhone 15 Pro, a year before the iPhone 16’s release.

Does anybody know if this is intended or an mistake? I also emailed apple about this already.

That’s the mmWave antenna on the iPhone 15. It was moved on the iPhone 16 and Camera Control was put in almost same position.

Jeff is 100% correct and that is indeed the mmWave antenna on the phone, NOT a Camera Capture Button.
