The iPhone 16 has a new camera control button, so what more could you want?!

I tell my friends that the new iPhone 16 is coming and they all say the same thing: “What’s so new?” I heard one editor wonder if the new phone was even worth the iPhone 15sa reference to the iPhone 6s days when Apple would update internals twice a year without changing the look of the iPhone. My only reaction is: can’t you see the new button? What more could you want?!

Think it’s just a button? Sure, the camera hasn’t changed much. It can’t take infrared photos or X-ray images through walls. It doesn’t record holograms for you to play as R2-D2 when you find Ben Kenobi. What’s more, Apple’s camera software options are pretty basic compared to those of Samsung and Google, and the new button can’t match the pro-level controls of the competition.

I still resent saying “just a button.” A button is a big deal! How many buttons does a phone have? Three? Four? My iPhone 15 Pro Max has four: volume up, volume down, Siri (wait, where is the power button?), and the action button. One of those was a brand new button when I got that phone, I’m sure, but my iPhone 13 Pro Max also has four buttons, so I could be wrong.
