Seven months after Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 and its all-new Digital camera Management performance, I nonetheless had blended emotions about it. Principally, the way in which it’s positioned on the iPhone 16 fashions makes it really feel too low to take images comfortably.
As I beforehand wrote, there are a few issues that make the iPhone 16 Digital camera Management function a difficulty for me:
- Taking images with it’s uncomfortable due to the place the button is positioned, and I feel it’s exhausting to make use of it in each Portrait and Panorama modes (additionally, I took so many shaking images that it’s simply not value it)
- Deciding on digicam settings with it’s slower than simply tapping the display screen (and with time, it has turn into tougher, not the alternative)
Nevertheless, one thing modified from iOS 18.2 to iOS 18.5 beta. Apple fastened some annoying Digital camera Management bugs, corresponding to a serious one which pressured the iPhone to reboot when the Digital camera Management button was pressed with the iPhone locked. Apple additionally fastened a difficulty that brought about the digicam to not work in some cases when launched with the Digital camera Management.
With out these issues, I slowly began reusing the Digital camera Management performance on my iPhone 16 Professional Max. Whereas I nonetheless assume a few of the points I first talked about are nonetheless right here, together with the button being too low and deciding on digicam settings being difficult, it has turn into the best technique to rapidly activate the digicam after taking the iPhone from my pocket.
With that in thoughts, this function has turn into way more helpful. Whereas it’s inferior to the Motion Button, I nonetheless hope Apple makes some tweaks for the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup. The dangerous information is that leaked dummy items don’t appear to point out any change, which suggests Apple may be happy with the way it’s carried out this performance.
