What is known about the first reviews of the new iPhone 16
In the new iPhone 16 smartphones, Apple added a Camera Control button that controls the shooting functions.
Bloggers and journalists began to leave their own reviews even before the start of sales of smartphones in the US and other countries.
Camera Control is a full clickable button. But it offers several options for interaction, including a half-press, which uses feedback in the form of vibration to simulate the feeling of movement. That is, in fact, the company combined an ordinary physical button with the technology of tactile vibration feedback.
On the home screen, I clicked on the camera control button, and the camera app quickly opened. The Apple representative guarding the phones encouraged me to press the camera control button with varying amounts of force, as a lighter touch changed the dial that appeared on the screen next to the button. I ran my finger over this surface, and the digital pen moved with me, although at first the direction of movement seemed a bit counterintuitive to me, — shares the impressions of journalist Charlene Law.
Pressing Camera Control brings up a small black panel on the screen with functions and sliders that allow you to quickly access camera functions.

When I first lightly pressed the camera control button, a selection of options appeared, allowing me to select Exposure, Zoom, Camera, Styles and Tone. Pressing harder on each of them blocked these modes, and another dial appeared with more marks, and swiping on the sensor caused the wheel to move. In camera mode, I could quickly switch between ultra-wide, prime and zoom, similar to how the viewfinder works now. If you prefer to use the existing interface to switch cameras, you can still do so, explains Charlene Lowe.
