❤Dear Apple,👇👀 Please add a call reject button to the lock screen. We don’t want to use the power button. All you need to do is place one button on this screen: Reject button 🚫
You know u can go into camera settings > camera controls and turn off clean preview. This will always show camera controls and won’t hide them. I’m surprised you guys missed this
I went for the 16PM and the camera control button feels like the MacBook Pro Touch Bar all over again. A design created to solve a problem we didn’t have.
Yeah , it ( shutter control button )looks a bit clunky , thinking about it , I reckon a lot of the camera functions and options could be instigated with voice command , especially seeing as Apple is getting all AI on us one day😊, as far as the shutter button and camera shake goes, that could also be voice command , on the other hand, they should be able to calibrate it with slight delay so your hand has time to stabilise the camera, however in action shots that is not ideal. Even on my full frame dedicated camera I was never really a fan of the half press then full press unless it was on a tripod. Seeing as we are looking at the screen of the phone the whole time we are taking pics , and the selfie camera is looking right at us , how about blink your eyes to capture ? Obviously it would have to be a deliberate blink or we’d be snapping photos every 3 seconds , but maybe a single eye blink for half a second or double eye blink for half a second which the phone could pick out from the normal super fast natural human blink . Imagine that …. Blink to capture 😊.
Yeah , it’s a bit of a dog , on a dedicated camera that weighs 4 pounds , camera shake is far less of a thing to worry about, they need to do something less clunky.
Are you serious? The good: I love the thinner bezels, it makes the experience more immersive. The bad: I have a problem with the thinner bezels because I have to retrain myself how to use/hold the phone. 🤦🏻♂️
He claims that using camera control shakes the phone, then he shakes the phone trying to take a photo with the on-screen button. 😂 Whatever dude, just don't the camera control button if you don't like it.
Also, I don't see a big deal about the AI not releasing with the phone yet. They will release it when they're ready. It will be bad PR if it sucks and unfinished.
This is the right answer, don’t market it like it comes with the phone if you can’t get it right on launch. This isn’t a trailer, you already bought the product
I think that the fact that is not release yet has to do with marketing itself, everyone is complaining and talking about it. I want to believe that apple is not that stupid to make this upgrade without knowing everything that is happening right now.

I don’t understand why the camera button is indented. Most people have a case on their iPhones and the new button being buried below the phone surface makes it even harder to work with while the phone is in a case. I could understand it being buried if it were closer to the corner (which it should be) so it could avoid accidental presses while holding it. Seems like a half baked idea.

The 15 Pro Max keeps on looking better and better for an upgrade from my 13 Pro Max. Still gets the new Apple AI, still has 5x optical zoom camera, still has the “island”, still has the USB-C connector and the picture quality has already been great enough on my 13 Pro Max, so it can only be better on the 15 Pro Max. And I’ll save $500 when the Black Friday sale comes! Best of all worlds.
Yeah but have the markedly worse thermals and performance which was a pretty staggering difference in tests. 10-13 degrees hotter and more throttling. I have the 15 Pro Max, but I would never take this again given the option next to the 16 Pro Max -- not a fan of the thermals on the 15 Pro Max. It does depend though on what you are using your iPhone for.
@Garrus-w2h So keep and buy the 16 pro max full price? Or maybe upgrade to the SE 4 and wait for the 17/18 pro max in the meantime? I really agree with you that trade in isn't worth it. I also need the 14 pro as a youtube camera as a secondary device. What should I do? I have iPhone 11 regular too.

I disagree that the camera button is a flop. I replaced my camera app icon on the lock screen with voice memos, because I have a dedicated camera button that I can use to go straight to the camera while the screen is off. That's been a feature on android for 5 years minimum, finally glad to see apple catch up. They could have done more with that button like add touch ID, but lets take it in strides. It's okay. The camera button is good.

Hi Max, Love your reviews, thanks, Don't agree with your 16 Pro Battery review, Bought it 6 days ago and last night it went from 90% to 47% with no usage, no backgound updates, Called Apple and after the all diagnoses, the verdict was; No Problem at all; Any idea why it does that? Thanks a lot
The part where he said when you use camera control, everything disappears is only partially correct. You can change it in settings to where the things on the screen remain there even while you’re using camera control.
honestly the camera control needs getting used too. I don’t have the responsive issues with it, the double tap is a double force press, but its true, it always makes you shake the whole phone right before you press it.
Solution/Fixes to ALL three (3) camera concerns mentioned!First go to Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control > Lighter-Press Force > ✅Lighter… Next in the same Accessibility Camera Control area at the bottom, ✅ the Double Light-Press ‘Slow’ this makes a MASSIVE difference and works super consistently. Next to see the Controls while using the Camera Control Button, that’s even easier. 👍 Go to Settings > Camera > Camera Control > Clean View (and toggle the switch to OFF). Hope that will others out there… it TOTALLY changes the way the iPhone 16 Pro Camera Control Button works and solves all the issues mentioned in this video. 😇🤓😎
I have enough issues with accidental touches. Can’t imagine those thin bezels. I still believe Apple makes incremental changes and makes a big deal of them. Waiting for something revolutionary. Great video. Thank you for honest review.
This video is not up to your usual standards guys. For one, its a pretty known issue that inadvertently touching the camera control “button” is the major cause of swiping issues. Which is another reason that BUTTON is a half baked release and pretty dumb and needlessly over engineered added cost and “feature” from Apple. I have a feeling it will have the same fate as the Macbook Pro touch bar. And how is making AI available to the 15 pro and not exclusive a fail?! Its a fail they didnt make it available to all the 15’s and 14’s as they easily could in full or partial. But they chose not to ONLY to sell more 16’s.

But what about Audio Mix? Perhaps the greatest win for home videographers. Some TH-cam Techies rate it as the best i16pm upgrade of all!! OK perhaps not for the likes of you, but for me it might mean I can dispense with my wireless mic for personal blogging.
These sound like personal issues than technical errors. What's the problem when an iPhone having 2 ways to access camera? Just use the original method if you uncomfortable with the new one.
I use the camera control and it's actually pretty easy to use! I don't understand how some people can't use it. If you don't know how to use it, just turn it off
One thing I’ve noticed is that you can now unlock Face ID in portrait mode, which for me is a big deal, so many times had to turn it around for many apps and things before, yet not even one reviewer has mentioned this?
What i noticed as a “good thing” is the face detection!!! Coming from an iPhone14pro, on the 16pro this feature seems non existent for how good and fast and accurate it is… 😊
Just test the portrait mode. Actually if you put your palm and cover the on screen button (just keep the photo part uncover) instead of try to stay on edge you got a pretty good grip without shaking. For the button itself, I got to get use to it to properly activate the function I want. Will play with it a little more.
I’d say just got straight to the 16pro even though it’s slightly better on the 16 pro in comparison it’s still a tiny upgrade. If you’re bothered about the neural engine and better ray tracing bigger battery capacity (slightly) and slightly better camera quality then got for the 16. If not then just got the 15pro
8:45 you will get used to it by time i have p40 pro, where the bezels are non existent. no bezels. only corners so you don't mistakenly touch the screen with the palm i love it. especially when taking 9:21 photos. the preview is terrible on 3:4 photos, which drags camera's score on dxomark down terribly, but the preview on 9:21 compensates a lot and i can focus easier on the subject thinner bezels have a lot of comfort and quality of life advantages

Just returned my 16p and am replacing the battery in my gold 13p. The $750 difference is not worth it right now. After upgrading to ios18 my 13p felt the same as the 16p.
Dude you are confuse af, are you the one was so hype?? So why the hate now? The control is good addition just incase you want to use it, THATS IT. Ntn is perfect! You did all this for VIEWS
I've only had my 16 pro max 3 days and already discovered it will not scan my lotto ticket bar codes using the California state lottery app. It won't auto focus like my 12 pro max. Thank god I kept my 12. I did some searching and people in other states are also noticing the same thing. Also when using the siriusxm app that came with my car, the 16 pro max disables the car app when I plug it in to charge. Again that never happens with my 12 pro max. I'm beginning to wonder if the 16 pro max is worth the hassle.
The camera control is awesome I spent a day at the botanical gardens learning how to use it. I’m a lot faster at adjusting exposure, depth and zoom with the camera control. When you get practice clicking the button that shake goes away. Changing styles while shooting doesn’t make sense because you can apply the style in post in the photos app.
I couldn’t agree more about Camera Control. It’s definitely a cart before the horse scenario. It’s horrible. I have used it once. Pushing down on the button to take a photo, creates too much motion. Simply tapping the screen…. So much easier.
Saw this coming a mile away. Ditch the gimmicks and give us more storage. No need for 48mpxl on an ultrawide that already distorts an image by nature- huge need for 48mpxl on a zoom lens. But hey, I’m only a consumer. What do I know.
Seeing your issues with the camera control, I agree, big fail so far. May be fixable in software, aside from the positioning on the 16PM. I don’t have a 16 (yet, may upgrade), but you’ve done a great job of demonstrating some significant issue.
Maybe it’s me…but I like the camera control. It’s simple to point and shoot. If I need to zoom I’ll use it or use the on screen controls. I don’t see the big deal about it but that’s just me🤷🏾♂️
Day 6... I made to day 6 before I had to go into setting and disable the new camera button. You, just like Apple are missing that new button's biggest flaw: placement. I really really REALLY wanted to like it, but after 6 days of constantly picking up my iPhone 16 Pro Max and accidentally tuning on the camera every time, I realaized the pain and annoyance of the stupid button placement wasn't' worth having the ability to take a quick photo when last year's phone already had the actin button. What a stupid place to put the camera button.
I’m so tired of hearing about cameras!! They’re better than last year. Cool. Why so much time spent on them! 99% of us point the phone and take a picture never really to be seen again. Who cares that it’s got 3 quadrillion more pixels. The phones 10 years ago were good enough. So sick of the attention on cameras. Camera comparison, video comparison, objectional comparison, underwater comparison. They were good enough to stop talking about 5-7 years ago.
@@mrdextrous355but who else is a videographer/photographer? .01% of the world population! Not a pro feature, it’s a niche feature. Doesn’t need a mention anymore. A real videographer isn’t using an iPhone for work!
I like how the shutter button is on the Xperia phones. It feels like a real camera. This would be awesome to have on iPhone. IMHO they are trying to do too much. If they want to make it useful in current form, make it a fingerprint reader AND just support light press to focus, full press to take picture. I would be happy with that. Zooming in video is best done on screen.
I'm sorry, it's a FAIL to give all the Apple Intelligence features to previous version phones? Because of "Exclusivity"? If they only gave them to the 16, you would say it was Apply forcing an upgrade. This is a dumb statement.
On the ghost touches and durability in drops , I’ve always preferred having some extra bezel, general use , picking a phone up by the edge of the screen bigger bezels are a win , as for the drop test fail , did anyone not expect that 😂. I’ll hang onto my 14 pro max for another year 😊.
Personally I think the camera control is dependent on phone case design. The case I use makes using the camera control very ergonomic. But I can see how it would be awkward if you’re going no-case
Red Flag for the Wifi 7 on all 16 line up because the 6Ghz band is not compatible with a 320Mhz wide channel and because despite the fact the phone connect to a MLO SSID it connects to only one band (2,4Ghz, 5Ghz or 6Ghz) at a time. I hope a future software upgrade will fix those issues.
If the iphone 15 pro max is getting all the AI features coming to the 16 series, how are they going to implement the one where you snap a picture with the capture button and it gives you information about the picture like google lens???
It’s skill issues people. Either people are treating it like a screen and tapping the pad or treating it like a button. But it’s neither. It’s a trackpad. You press down lightly on it.
The bezel issue is ironic. People have slammed the iPhone for so long for having bezels that are larger than other phones and are now experiencing the reality of why they've probably had larger bezels like they used to.
The ironic part is that they should try it and use it and implement a solution by software to avoid accidental touch, just like android phones do (I am not sure all do that, but Samsung does). It is a stupid first gen issue but still why you don't fix it before release it? It seems they rushed this whole thing this time too much. They couldn't finish the AI implementation as well. Maybe they should spend more on R&D or just release a phone in every 2 years. No groundbreaking updates every year anyway. BTW, other manufactures are releasing a 3-fold phone already... they added a useless button. Hilarious.
The 16 Pro is a disappointment. I “upgraded” from 14 Pro. There really isn’t much of a difference. I will not upgrade again unless there is a real change.
I am returning my 16 PM. I got a booty device. The phone overheats, glitches, and doesn’t render the app icons (they are just the default app grid icon). And the worst part is that the Camera Control doesn’t work. It crashes the springboard and the phone reboots.

Thanks a lot
The part where he said when you use camera control, everything disappears is only partially correct. You can change it in settings to where the things on the screen remain there even while you’re using camera control.
honestly the camera control needs getting used too. I don’t have the responsive issues with it, the double tap is a double force press, but its true, it always makes you shake the whole phone right before you press it.
Solution/Fixes to ALL three (3) camera concerns mentioned!First go to Settings > Accessibility > Camera Control > Lighter-Press Force > ✅Lighter… Next in the same Accessibility Camera Control area at the bottom, ✅ the Double Light-Press ‘Slow’ this makes a MASSIVE difference and works super consistently.
Next to see the Controls while using the Camera Control Button, that’s even easier. 👍 Go to Settings > Camera > Camera Control > Clean View (and toggle the switch to OFF).
Hope that will others out there… it TOTALLY changes the way the iPhone 16 Pro Camera Control Button works and solves all the issues mentioned in this video. 😇🤓😎
I have enough issues with accidental touches. Can’t imagine those thin bezels. I still believe Apple makes incremental changes and makes a big deal of them. Waiting for something revolutionary. Great video. Thank you for honest review.
The camera button is the worst new Apple implementation in years.
Is there a case without a cut-out for the camera button?
Im using supcase unicorn beatlemag case with the integrated camera control button in the case. Rather cheap (not costly) looks good too
turn off "Clean Preview" in Camera setting, then you can see all the stuff on the display while you are using the camera control button...
Very happy with my 13 pro max, now starting year 4 :)
Nobody really cares
@@robhughes8516I care
This video is not up to your usual standards guys. For one, its a pretty known issue that inadvertently touching the camera control “button” is the major cause of swiping issues. Which is another reason that BUTTON is a half baked release and pretty dumb and needlessly over engineered added cost and “feature” from Apple. I have a feeling it will have the same fate as the Macbook Pro touch bar. And how is making AI available to the 15 pro and not exclusive a fail?! Its a fail they didnt make it available to all the 15’s and 14’s as they easily could in full or partial. But they chose not to ONLY to sell more 16’s.
Solution/Fixes to Camera Control Button and ALL three (3) camera concerns!

Thirdly, to see the On Screen Camera Controls while also using the Camera Control Button. 👍 Go to Settings > Camera > Camera Control > Clean View (and toggle the switch to OFF).

But what about Audio Mix? Perhaps the greatest win for home videographers. Some TH-cam Techies rate it as the best i16pm upgrade of all!! OK perhaps not for the likes of you, but for me it might mean I can dispense with my wireless mic for personal blogging.
These sound like personal issues than technical errors. What's the problem when an iPhone having 2 ways to access camera? Just use the original method if you uncomfortable with the new one.
I use the camera control and it's actually pretty easy to use! I don't understand how some people can't use it. If you don't know how to use it, just turn it off
One thing I’ve noticed is that you can now unlock Face ID in portrait mode, which for me is a big deal, so many times had to turn it around for many apps and things before, yet not even one reviewer has mentioned this?
Today i find the Camera Button perfekt for a group Selfie so Whats the Problem
What i noticed as a “good thing” is the face detection!!! Coming from an iPhone14pro, on the 16pro this feature seems non existent for how good and fast and accurate it is… 😊
I would like to see a comparison side by side of the 15 Pro Max against the new one, mainly the cameras, thks a lot
Just test the portrait mode. Actually if you put your palm and cover the on screen button (just keep the photo part uncover) instead of try to stay on edge you got a pretty good grip without shaking.
For the button itself, I got to get use to it to properly activate the function I want.
Will play with it a little more.
I want to upgrade from my 12 pro. Which is better between 15 pro and 16 pro considering the price itself?
I’d say just got straight to the 16pro even though it’s slightly better on the 16 pro in comparison it’s still a tiny upgrade. If you’re bothered about the neural engine and better ray tracing bigger battery capacity (slightly) and slightly better camera quality then got for the 16. If not then just got the 15pro
8:45 you will get used to it by time
i have p40 pro, where the bezels are non existent. no bezels. only corners so you don't mistakenly touch the screen with the palm
i love it. especially when taking 9:21 photos. the preview is terrible on 3:4 photos, which drags camera's score on dxomark down terribly, but the preview on 9:21 compensates a lot and i can focus easier on the subject
thinner bezels have a lot of comfort and quality of life advantages
The camera control is for quickly opening the camera and using it underwater/ with gloves. That's it.
almost nobody will do that, specially if that void guaranty
@@edd9581 lots of people with apple care. It's unlikely something will happen.
@@daniel_960_I hope you know that in your phone is a sticker that changes orange if water got in your device, and if it’s orange your apple care is voided
@@juniperzander7161 warranty is. That's what apple care is for, damage to device.
@@daniel_960_ it’s both, Apple will refuse to fix your device if the liquid indicator has turned, they would only replace your device with your replacement fee
Just returned my 16p and am replacing the battery in my gold 13p. The $750 difference is not worth it right now. After upgrading to ios18 my 13p felt the same as the 16p.
I’ve been taking pictures with THE VOLUME button for years without ‘shaking’. And you’re saying all digital cameras are troubled by.. shaking?!
Dude you are confuse af, are you the one was so hype?? So why the hate now? The control is good addition just incase you want to use it, THATS IT. Ntn is perfect! You did all this for VIEWS
Max
You can set the pressure on the button and you can set the camera features to show on screen on/off
Come on 😎
I've only had my 16 pro max 3 days and already discovered it will not scan my lotto ticket bar codes using the California state lottery app. It won't auto focus like my 12 pro max. Thank god I kept my 12. I did some searching and people in other states are also noticing the same thing. Also when using the siriusxm app that came with my car, the 16 pro max disables the car app when I plug it in to charge. Again that never happens with my 12 pro max. I'm beginning to wonder if the 16 pro max is worth the hassle.
The camera control is awesome I spent a day at the botanical gardens learning how to use it. I’m a lot faster at adjusting exposure, depth and zoom with the camera control. When you get practice clicking the button that shake goes away. Changing styles while shooting doesn’t make sense because you can apply the style in post in the photos app.
no one who puts a case on their phone cares about a bezel
Damn true😂
The 16 pro is making my 15 pro look even better now 😊
I couldn’t agree more about Camera Control. It’s definitely a cart before the horse scenario. It’s horrible. I have used it once. Pushing down on the button to take a photo, creates too much motion. Simply tapping the screen…. So much easier.
Does it overheat?
Will you do the 16 Pro Max vs 15 Pro Max blind camera test?
Saw this coming a mile away. Ditch the gimmicks and give us more storage. No need for 48mpxl on an ultrawide that already distorts an image by nature- huge need for 48mpxl on a zoom lens. But hey, I’m only a consumer. What do I know.
Hot Take: The new camera button is perfect and I find myself using it all the time.
Honestly can’t even tell the thiner bezel even side by side with my old 14 pro max.
Seeing your issues with the camera control, I agree, big fail so far. May be fixable in software, aside from the positioning on the 16PM. I don’t have a 16 (yet, may upgrade), but you’ve done a great job of demonstrating some significant issue.
Button sensitivity can be adjusted in accessibility settings.
The cameras controls disappearing from the screen cab be turned off in camera settings
Maybe it’s me…but I like the camera control. It’s simple to point and shoot. If I need to zoom I’ll use it or use the on screen controls. I don’t see the big deal about it but that’s just me🤷🏾♂️
Day 6... I made to day 6 before I had to go into setting and disable the new camera button. You, just like Apple are missing that new button's biggest flaw: placement. I really really REALLY wanted to like it, but after 6 days of constantly picking up my iPhone 16 Pro Max and accidentally tuning on the camera every time, I realaized the pain and annoyance of the stupid button placement wasn't' worth having the ability to take a quick photo when last year's phone already had the actin button. What a stupid place to put the camera button.
Any issues with touch?
Great video! Cannot wait for the iPhone 15 Pro series vs. iPhone 16 Pro series review
I think the camera control will fade away just like the touch bar on the Macbooks
Nice review. This is my go to channel before buying any tech.
I hope the next update will allow disabling the little press menu and enabling the half-shutter press for focus lock.
I’m so tired of hearing about cameras!! They’re better than last year. Cool. Why so much time spent on them! 99% of us point the phone and take a picture never really to be seen again. Who cares that it’s got 3 quadrillion more pixels. The phones 10 years ago were good enough. So sick of the attention on cameras. Camera comparison, video comparison, objectional comparison, underwater comparison. They were good enough to stop talking about 5-7 years ago.
Clearly missing the point. Take it from someone who’s a videographer and photographer
@@mrdextrous355but who else is a videographer/photographer? .01% of the world population! Not a pro feature, it’s a niche feature. Doesn’t need a mention anymore. A real videographer isn’t using an iPhone for work!
One video every day is so AWESOME
i have no issue with the "shake" with the camera control button... the scrolling on it sucks, but the shake is just "you're holding it wrong bro"
I like how the shutter button is on the Xperia phones. It feels like a real camera. This would be awesome to have on iPhone. IMHO they are trying to do too much. If they want to make it useful in current form, make it a fingerprint reader AND just support light press to focus, full press to take picture. I would be happy with that. Zooming in video is best done on screen.
Hold you’re finger on the camera control and push 2x (not click or tap 2 times)
The camera control can easily be fixed from a software update. Since this is new, I think there's a lot of room for improvement.
I'm sorry, it's a FAIL to give all the Apple Intelligence features to previous version phones? Because of "Exclusivity"? If they only gave them to the 16, you would say it was Apply forcing an upgrade. This is a dumb statement.
After seeing this video, i don't see any good reason to upgrade from my iphone X THANKS!!!!
On the ghost touches and durability in drops , I’ve always preferred having some extra bezel, general use , picking a phone up by the edge of the screen bigger bezels are a win , as for the drop test fail , did anyone not expect that 😂.
I’ll hang onto my 14 pro max for another year 😊.
Personally I think the camera control is dependent on phone case design. The case I use makes using the camera control very ergonomic. But I can see how it would be awkward if you’re going no-case
I wish that people would test the thermals of the iPhone in different cases. I do not know anyone who’s using an iPhone without some sort of case.
Have you tried the Eye Control?
Red Flag for the Wifi 7 on all 16 line up because the 6Ghz band is not compatible with a 320Mhz wide channel and because despite the fact the phone connect to a MLO SSID it connects to only one band (2,4Ghz, 5Ghz or 6Ghz) at a time. I hope a future software upgrade will fix those issues.
If the iphone 15 pro max is getting all the AI features coming to the 16 series, how are they going to implement the one where you snap a picture with the capture button and it gives you information about the picture like google lens???
Great question.
You’ll know when the update comes
Totally agree the camera button is pointless. If they added another button anyway why did they have to take away my mute switch 😢
Finally a good review for the iPhone 16 pro
I also feel like this camera control button was a bad idea.. I hardly ever use it and when I do I get annoyed.. 🤷🏻♂️
It’s skill issues people. Either people are treating it like a screen and tapping the pad or treating it like a button. But it’s neither. It’s a trackpad. You press down lightly on it.
you said you did a tear down on the pro and not the max so did you know they have different battery casings?
Apple is the best as always
The bezel issue is ironic. People have slammed the iPhone for so long for having bezels that are larger than other phones and are now experiencing the reality of why they've probably had larger bezels like they used to.
The ironic part is that they should try it and use it and implement a solution by software to avoid accidental touch, just like android phones do (I am not sure all do that, but Samsung does). It is a stupid first gen issue but still why you don't fix it before release it? It seems they rushed this whole thing this time too much. They couldn't finish the AI implementation as well. Maybe they should spend more on R&D or just release a phone in every 2 years. No groundbreaking updates every year anyway. BTW, other manufactures are releasing a 3-fold phone already... they added a useless button. Hilarious.
Hey in defense of the camera button, I DO use it to open the camera... but that's all haha. That being said, I do use it frequently to do that.
Try using camera control button to take Live Photos and play it back, it’s a bit sad. 😕
You can adjust the sensitivity of the camera control button in Accessibility settings.
The 16 Pro is a disappointment. I “upgraded” from 14 Pro. There really isn’t much of a difference. I will not upgrade again unless there is a real change.
Apple is playing catch up again with AI
Sharing AI with the iPhone 15 is not a fail. It's good for consumers.
you can change camera control in setting, disable clean preview
What about 45w charging?
I am returning my 16 PM. I got a booty device. The phone overheats, glitches, and doesn’t render the app icons (they are just the default app grid icon). And the worst part is that the Camera Control doesn’t work. It crashes the springboard and the phone reboots.
