Who knew? Physical camera controls are great… for the most part
 

It started as a rumor: Apple might add yet another button to the iPhone 16 series. At first, I thought it sounded like a terrible idea. Why would I need another way to control the camera when I can snap a picture with the volume button? Why not use the already-existing Action Button? And would I get used to swiping a capacitive button to change camera settings?

I was ready to roast the Camera Control before I ever tried it. Now that I’ve been using the iPhone 16 Pro, however, I’ve begun to change my tune. It’s not perfect, but Apple’s Camera Control shows how helpful physical controls can be when using your phone as your primary camera.
