The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are all equipped with a new "Camera Control" button that allows you to quickly launch the camera, take a photo, start video recording, and more. Later this year, Apple says Camera Control will be updated with the ability to automatically lock focus and exposure on a subject with a light press.

Below, we have rounded up some iPhone 16 hands-on videos, which offer a closer look at the Camera Control and more.




There are also hands-on videos for the Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, and USB-C AirPods Max.

Absolutely useless feature. It offers nothing that the big screen interface already offers. The tiny cutout to scroll through items is just laughable.

It will go the way of Touch Bar and 3D Touch.

I’m more concerned about accidental touches in that area of the phone. I tend to grip that area since I don’t use a case.

"Apple doesn't innovate under Tim"

Apple adds a button...

"This is useless", "Another TouchBar", "I'm too old for this"

Gotta love a whingefest forum. Apple can't win no matter what they do... LOL
