The iPhone has been Apple’s primary moneymaker for a very long time, though the Mac and iPad lineups also help. But the company has recently begun considering new product categories like XR (Extended Reality).

Apple released the brand new iPhone 16 lineup this month, with bigger batteries, the new Camera Capture button, and more. The company calls them their first iPhones built for Apple Intelligence.

If you’ve seen any of the commercials for the iPhone 16 this year, then you’ll be abundantly aware that Apple Intelligence is one of the main focuses of this year’s devices.

The only noticeable difference between the 15 Pro and the 16 Pro is the Camera Control button. This button takes you a few seconds to get the hang of but works well in calling up the camera app and letting you shuffle through different cameras and its settings with just soft presses and finger scrolls.

The past week was a whirlwind for Apple Inc. AAPL, with news ranging from the tech giant’s withdrawal from OpenAI’s funding round to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s camera failing to top global rankings.

One of the coolest innovations on the iPhone 16 is the Camera Control, a dedicated hardware addition that’s all about snapping images and taking video. It’s a clever hybrid of a mechanical button and a capacitive slider.

If a new Apple device that is “a smart home command centre, videoconferencing machine and remote-controlled home security tool” ever gets to market, it likely won’t be until 2026 or 2027.

Apple HomeKit has always lagged behind Alexa and Google Assistant, notably lacking a smart display similar to that of the Echo Show 15 or the Nest Hub. Rumors suggest that the company’s next gadget might rectify that.
