Iphone 16 Pro Review: First Look at Full-Zoom Camera and New Feature-Rich Design
Here’s the rewritten content in a unique, conversational tone:
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the iPhone 16 Pro, and I have to say, it’s a beast of a phone. From the moment I picked it up, I was struck by its sleek design and solid build quality. The Black Titanium body feels premium, and the 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display is stunning. The bezel is impressively thin, thanks to Apple’s clever engineering, which reroutes screen traces to underneath the display.
But the real star of the show is the new Camera Control button. It’s a tactile/haptic combo button that lives below the power button and is used to open the camera app. A lighter press gives you access to haptic response access controls, while a double press takes you deeper into camera settings. It’s incredibly intuitive and makes taking photos a breeze.
I was also impressed by the phone’s video capabilities, particularly the 4K 120fps feature. I didn’t get to try out the Cinematic Slo-Mo, but it looks like a game-changer for pro videographers.
The iPhone 16 Pro also boasts a 48MP ultra-wide camera, a faster shutter speed on the 48MP main camera, and a 12MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. I didn’t get to test these features extensively, but I’m excited to see what kind of photos and videos I can capture with this powerful camera setup.
