Your hot takes

Here are the social media comments mentioned on the show.

iPhone 16 Camera Control

Apple introduced a new button on the iPhone 16 called Camera Control which provides quick access to the camera and some camera settings. A lot of people have thoughts about it.

I tried this.. it actually makes no sense and controlling the camera via touch from the screen is much easier and more practical

In iOS 18, Apple redesigned the Photos app. And people don’t like it.

Rumors are spoilers
