    It’s nice that Apple for once introduced a nice feature for others to copy, the camera button. I loved those on my Lumia and Xperia phones.

    Everything else is just meh… the normal 16 comes in some cool colours at least

      Same, the physical camera button and 3.5mm headphone jack on the Xperia are awesome

      I’m kinda confused on why this button is helpful. If you open the camera app on iOS, hitting either volume button will take a picture.

        Opens the camera faster than going through the lock screen (something I desperately miss from my Android phones), and it’s multifunctional. You can press it with different intensity levels to get different functionality, and it’s touch sensitive so you can use it to make adjustments.

        It’s not like, revolutionary. But it looks pretty cool and I’m looking forward to trying it out.

    I actually kind of like that Apple has become a boring and iterative company for the most part. I just use the same glass and metal rectangle until a few months after my upgrade eligibility on my work plan (because I always forget when it is), then I get whichever glass and metal rectangle is cheap now. I routinely forget which iPhone I use, and my life is no worse because of it.

    Okay, I just looked it up. It’s a 13, and I did remember, but I was not at all confident.

      Understated. I’m so happy my upgrade from a 10 to a 15 (I think it’s a 15?) was boring. I don’t need to learn a lot of nee ways to use my smartphone, I just need to replace it and get back to my life.
