The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models have once again revolutionized smartphone photography, continuing Apple's legacy of pushing the boundaries of what a camera can do. Among the many impressive updates to this year's lineup, one feature stands out as a game-changer: the new Camera Control, making capturing photos and videos more accessible than ever.
INTRODUCING CAMERA CONTROL
Located two-thirds of the way down the right edge of the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models, this button differs from any other physical control on the device. While it sits flush with the phone’s surface, it’s far more than just a basic camera shutter. The Camera Control operates in two ways: as a mechanical button that can be pressed to trigger actions like snapping a photo or recording a video and as a capacitive slider that allows for smooth, precise, real-time adjustments. This hybrid approach gives users control over their camera, making it easy to quickly switch between settings like zoom, exposure, depth, and photographic styles. The button’s location and flush design also prevent accidental triggers, a common problem with previous iPhone models, where unwanted pocket photos were too frequent.
