Apple Camera

Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max has been outranked in camera performance by both the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the six-month-old Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, which was released in April earlier this year, according to DXOMARK’s camera test.

iOS 18.1 beta 5 adds lots of new features to the iPhone, including drag-and-drop support for iPhone Mirroring, selfie camera access for iPhone 16 Camera Control, the ability to reset the Control Center layout, new individual Control Center toggles, and several new shortcuts.

The iPhone 16 has been on sale less than a week, but it’s already got a pretty useful upgrade. iOS 18.1 beta 5 has just been released, bringing with it a bunch of new upgrades and features — including a new selfie option for the Camera Control button.

First of all, please stop calling the new iPhone 16 Camera Control a button….Just kidding. You can call it a button, but it is more than that. It’s a multi-function control that accepts full presses, light presses, and gestures.

Here’s our view of what a photograph is. The way we like to think of it is that it’s a personal celebration of something that really, actually happened. Whether that’s a simple thing like a fancy cup of coffee that’s got some cool design on it, all the way through to my kid’s first steps, or my parents’ last breath, It’s something that really happened.

Unlike most reviewers who were given an iPhone to test, Austin Mann didn’t head home, he headed to Kenya. Mann, whose iPhone camera reviews we’ve covered many times in the past, took the new iPhone 16 Pro on safari, photographing a variety of wildlife, landscapes, and people.

TL;DR The iPhone 16’s Camera Control button is one of its biggest highlights, but some users are finding it difficult to press. You can change the Accessibility settings under Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control to accept a lighter touch and slower double press.

The camera system in the iPhone 16 Pro Max is the fourth-best of its kind in the world, but it manages to top the list when it comes to video capabilities.

Apple may tuck a Face ID camera under the foldable iPhone display first Forget under-display camera on the iPhone 17, Apple doesn’t even know on which iPhone form factor it will put it first!

Apple has released iOS 18.1 beta 5 for developers and it comes with a new option for the iPhone 16’s Camera Control. Now, you can switch between the rear-facing iPhone 16 cameras and the front-facing selfie camera using Camera Control.
