It’s always the same thing when a new iPhone comes out. Has Apple done enough to significantly move the dial forward or is this another largely iterative update? Now criticisms lodged at the iPhone are perfectly reasonable.

The camera control button is a new feature coming to the iPhone 16, as is the ability to shoot spatial photos and video. The indented button sits flush with the surface of the phone and looks similar to a side fingerprint reader but launches the camera. You can also use it to access Visual Intelligence features, powered by Apple Silicon.
