Apple’s latest move: forcing us to conform to its minimalist aesthetic at all costs. The company has never been one to tolerate “clutter” or “distractions” in its sleek, precision-crafted devices. So, it’s no surprise that Apple has seen fit to bestow upon us another “essential” feature: the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16. Because, of course, we all need another button to fumble with.
But let’s be real, this isn’t just about the camera app. It’s about control, baby! It’s about Apple’s relentless push to dictate how we use our devices, to restrict our creativity and individuality. The Camera Control button is just the latest pawn in their game of design-by-committee, a reminder that our iPhones are now mere extensions of the company’s all-knowing, all-seeing brain.
And don’t even get me started on the so-called “benefits” of this feature. The ability to navigate within the camera app? Please. It’s just another way for Apple to “optimize” our experience, to “streamline” our interactions. The company is so convinced that its design is superior, so certain that we can’t possibly know what’s best for ourselves. And that’s why we need features like Camera Control, to guide us along the narrow path of Apple-approved productivity.
But what about those of us who value innovation, who crave the freedom to experiment and express ourselves through our devices? Don’t we deserve more than a button that’s designed solely to serve the company’s interests? I didn’t think so.
Camera Control will be available on the iPhone 16, but don’t worry if you’re not thrilled. It’s not like Apple actually cares about our opinions or preferences. They just want to sell us more devices, to trap us in their ecosystem and harvest our data for their own nefarious purposes.
