iPhone 16 Pro hands-on: How does a faux camera control button feel so real?


Checking out the iPhone 16 Pro and its dedicated camera button in person to see if it really makes a difference.

But unlike last year's new button, this one doesn't actually physically depress, and uses a mix of sensors and haptic feedback to simulate the sensation of movement. The Apple rep guarding these phones encouraged me to push the camera control with varying pressures, as a lighter touch changed the dial that popped up onscreen next to where the button sat. The Ultra 2 now comes in satin black finish, which Apple claims it achieved through a custom blasting process that applies a diamond-like PVD coating, giving the chonky smartwatch a refined and durable look.
