The real new features of the iPhone 16
Apple Intelligence: Apple's AI is finally here

The Camera Control button
A new physical button dedicated to the camera on the side. It works like a real camera shutter: light press to focus, full press to take the photo. For photographers, it's an ergonomic revolution.
Action button (like the 15 Pro)
The programmable Action button is now on every iPhone 16, not just the Pro models. You can set it up for: flashlight, silent mode, translation, voice memo, or any shortcut.
