The Camera Control button, introduced in the iPhone 16 lineup, enables users to manage various camera settings and can serve as a "gateway" for interacting with third-party tools, including ChatGPT.
The concept of Camera Control is that when the iPhone is held horizontally, it mimics the shutter of a traditional camera with tactile vibration. However, the update has not impressed potential customers, with many describing the feature as "the most disappointing innovation from Apple" to date (in early reviews, the button was generally regarded as a "con" for the devices). Yet, this is not the only "surprise" for fans.
Considering the repair costs for Camera Control presented in China (converted to US dollars for convenience), the replacement of the buttonin the iPhone 16 will cost $624, while for the iPhone 16 Pro, the price is $750. For comparison, the official price of the base iPhone 16 reaches $799, and the 128 GB iPhone 16 Pro is priced at $999)
Such a high price may imply a motherboard replacement. The button itself consists of 9 different components, which increases the likelihood and risks of potential malfunctions.
