So what if Apple sticks to the original design next year? Are you going to not buy next year iPhone until either Apple ditches the entire Idea?
Got a tip for us?

They could have saved the money and used if for something else, like on the X75 modem for example, or bigger camera sensors. The camera button is not only a waste of money, nobody likes it either.
I may switch from Apple. It’s something I’m thinking about from time to time.
Has any manufacturer added those successfully and if so, how are they doing? Genuine question
Please remember it's just a phone, alot of the features of samsung most people don't even know and Apple is all about user experience...
apple apps are sandboxed, I don't think memory is gonna change much of that, apps will refresh when you go back to them. My S9 FE tab with 8 gigs doesn't the same thing.
It's depends of the app youtube for instance will most likely refresh all the time since it uses alot of ram.
Yep and also alot of people probably drop their phone trying to take a picture and it slips out of their hand before the camera button.
Could be something too...
I don't criticize apple like that in fact I appluad them for constantly trying to make the user experience better and better, Google is starting to go in the right direction too...
And honestly staring at a small screen for a long period of time isn't good for your eyes.
You are complaining about a phone you don’t even own. You say the Camera Button is a button and feature nobody asked for. You then go on to say that you plan on buying the 17 PM, which you know nothing about and hope the Camera Button is improved. How in world can you come to the conclusion that your OP and this retort to me are congruent with one another and more importantly, logical? Between your OP and this post, you have contradicted yourself.
The Camera Button isn’t really what you are complaining about. The real problem is your false expectations of Apple tech reality. When Apple didn’t deliver a phone that spec wowed you, you found yourself an illogical tech catch phrase to hang your purchase excuse on.
There are rumors on this site about the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It supposedly has 12GB of RAM, a 48MP telephoto camera, a smaller dynamic island, 45W wired charging, and an X75 modem. Hopefully a bigger main camera sensor as well. What did we get this year? A camera button?
An improved thermal design, improvements to all cameras including a new image capture pipeline, further improved CPU and GPU, increased wired and wireless charging speeds, bigger more durable screens, and more.
Plenty of changes were made regardless of you liking or acknowledging them.
Do you have any opinions that haven’t been spoon fed to you by youtubers?
I don't need a youtuber to tell me what to think. I upgraded from a 15 pro to a 16 pro. I can form my own opinions.
Y'all know he's borderline trolling at this point 
Though I will say other big reviewers have had similar conclusions, saying that Apple is leaning too hard on Apple Intelligence as the big thing this year, then releasing the new devices without it.

I bought an iPhone 16 in large part because of the Camera Control, and I'm happy with it.
These are honest opinions. He's an Apple fanboy. Apple is saving money on the hardware.

The camera button needs to ditch the hard press for taking a photo. light press open camera, light press photo or double light press menu. The hard press is just dumb. It's like having a hard press click on a trackpad, not necessary or fast.
The camera shutter button should and will stay 100%.
They can refine it, but it’s a super useful feature that makes the casual smartphone feel more like a real camera.
I’ve said it before: maybe it’s new to some casual iPhone-only users, but Sony Xperia phones have had it for years, and they are very camera-focused smartphones.
Not everyone wants just the bare-bones basics—new features are welcome.

I am also glad they added the camera button. Finding it quite useful.
But I thought they were wasting money on the camera button?!
