The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will also have a new, dedicated camera shutter button, which Apple calls the camera control: press it to pop open the camera app, then slide your finger back and forth like a dial for changing zoom levels, aperture or other photography settings. The standard models also inherit the action button from last year’s iPhone 15 Pro models, which lets you set custom shortcuts to open specific apps or tasks.
The new Apple phones can be preordered now, and will be available in stores as of Sept. 20. We’re rounding up the best iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4 deals at launch.
