Tuesday September 10, 2024 12:30 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol

Following its event on Monday, Apple allowed selected media and content creators to go hands-on with the iPhone 16 series and other new devices.

The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are all equipped with a new "Camera Control" button that allows you to quickly launch the camera, take a photo, start video recording, and more.
