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 only have marques brown’s comment to back this up, but he said the two stage camera button doesn’t do anything yet but it’s coming in a future update. I’m baffled how Apple feels okay releasing this new hardware without the software to support it.

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.

Double-press the lock button and the camera opens on android phones (or at least you can configure it that way). Been that way for years.

also, with a case, the button might not be as useful?
