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.

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.

"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
