I spent the last year recappingiPhone 16 rumors, and today,everything was finally revealedatApples Glowtime Event.
Most of the rumors we covered turned out to be true.
TheiPhone 16did get a stacked camera system on the back, plus the iPhone 15 Pros Action Button.

The most significant change to this generations lineup is the Camera Control button I mentioned earlier.
Considering were already talking about the iPhone 17 going buttonless, its a curious addition.
The taptic button is a little confusing to use at first.

Desert titanium looks like gold from afar, and thats because of the goldish border around the chassis.
I didnt think the color brown could be this game-changing, but there you have it.
Theres also black titanium, natural titanium, and white titanium if thats not your style.

Speaking of which, the iPhone 16s new colorways are, in fact, eye-catching.
They are vibrant up close and from afar.
Im also digging the new stacked camera array.

It looks much more put together than the previous stovetop with just two lenses.
This year includes black, white, pink, teal, and ultramarine (blue).
I got to demo it briefly, though it was Apple employees doing the tapping for me.

The Camera Captures taptic button means it can sense when you soft-press or fully press it.
It can also feel your finger slide from left to right to cycle through menu options or zoom.
I still prefer the smaller iPhone 16 Pro to the Pro Max.

Its 5x optical zoom between both devices this time around.

I saw more sophisticated editing features between the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro lineups.
But I didnt see any generative text, ChatGPT magic, or anything like that.
Thats on the waynext month.
