I usually buy rhinoshield but I hate how they have a cut out for camera control so I went for one of the OtterBox cases that Apple sells. Also, I have the regular iPhone 16 and did not have the option to switch to swipe under the camera control settings. Also, audio mix sounds almost exactly like the mic you used for this video. Really good!
@@SalinaStarr as someone with cases with and without the cutout, the cutout is the way to go. And I said the opposite for the action button: I prefer the button on the action button. I just find the cover to interfere more with the delicate presses than the cutout does. Personal preference though! And yes, audio mix is so awesome!
@@BrandonButchI meant I bought an otterbox from apple because it has the sapphire crystal cover that works seamlessly with camera control, eliminating the need for the cut-out completely.
We should all start a campaign for Apple to finally give us a professional course on how to make the most of their cameras and all the tricks they offer. At least for beginners like me lol
Flolab is the best screen protector money can buy. Doesn't apple already do these things at their stores? I remember seeing little classes going on showing old people how to use their iphones.
Am I the only one who got the hang of the new camera control functions 1st try and find it really easy to use. It’s way faster than tryna find then open up the camera app highly recommend saves you so much time when tryna get that instant shot before it gets messed up.
Actually I thought it was weird but I thought I got the hang of it really quickly and I use it often😅 people online complained it’s a gimmick but I use it a lot
Great Tips! Learned a ton from this... I'm still overwhelmed... but at least now I have a video to come back to check on what i keep forgetting! Thanks!
For faster wired charging, the current understanding is that you need a charger that supports 15V @ 3A. It doesn't matter if it supports higher voltages or total wattage, it has to support 15V specifically.
Thanks Brandon for all your info and suggestions for the iPhone Pro camera button. I bought the 16 Pro Max but had the same issues. After your video on adjusting the settings, now it works great. You helped me so much. Thank you! Debbie
I think that the Studio option for audio mix just makes it sound like the microphone is closer to your mouth and less tinny. It definitely sounds better than default audio that's for sure.
I think the real studio mic actually sounds better but if you raised the volume of the playback of the studio mode on iPhone I think it would maybe(?) sound better
mine is coming tomorrow and I can't wait. I wasn't going to upgrade until the release of the SE, but when my 12 mini became severely water damaged a week after the 16's release I figured was a sign lol
It's not that I want to be picky, but this new iPhone has me disappointed, so much so that after thinking about it so much I'm going to change it. My 15pro is like new, I just have to change the case, which is worn out.
I had to change it because the battery of my 15 was damaged but otherwise I still had it, and with respect to the cases where I bought mine, they also have it available for yours, which are the Vionentus Elites.
I'm a real dummy. I can't even turn the new 16 on or off. Screen is locked on some camera showing a square and a sun symbol. From there I can't get it to do anything.
This would have taken AGES to research. And film. And teach. Document, edit etc. Well done. And thank you. I’m a massive tech consumer, very computer savvy, but this is quite an overwhelming amount of feature changes!! I almost have feature utilization FOMO.
I find it interesting that you recommend wireless charging given your optimisations around battery charging. Wireless charging / thermal charging notoriously accelerates battery degeneration over the course of a phone's life.
Great video! Is there a way to transfer all the login and passwords for all the apps. That's my worst fear, having to login into them all over again and forget some of the passwords.
It would be nice in a future iOS update to allow you to choose if you would like the Camera Control to keep recording a video when you take your finger off. Then when you want to stop recording, you can simply push the button once to cancel and take you back to Viewfinder mode. I would like that very much, anyone else?
I have watched this a few times ow and am learning more each time but I can't seem to get audio mix in my videos. They all have sound but my screen when go into the edit mode there is no audio mix mode. I have the 16pro so what else do I need to do to make this active. Thank you
Love to watch first before I might update my iPhone 14 Pro Max to 16 pro max because the charge is C is same as my (10) generation tablet and hate to switch from usb charge B to C
I thought the same about iPhone 14 and 15. I had to use iPhone 13 for 2 more years because they both failed. Now I bought iPhone 16 and I am very happy. I love its powerful chipset. The action buttons is a good to have feature and I hardly use the camera control button because I am not so photogenic. But I love to take photos of nature as I travel a lot. The photos are sharp and have more details. Night photography is really good.
@@real_sohel Yes, but you upgraded 3 generations ahead, Im talking about year over year leaps in design/performance. because year over year, Apple will say that that certain iPhone will have the best cameras and battery life and performance. but yes over 3 years its a good upgrade, I just upgraded from a 14 pro to a 16 pro max.
Could be your acoustic environment but there seems to be a major lack of noise gate on the iPhone mics, made it really hard to compare the differences between the studio and default settings
I like how the studio setting reduced reverb but I don’t like how it removed quite a bit of bass from your voice. As an audio engineer I would be very curious as to the ‘chain’ of events (both hardware and software) that Apple is using to deliver these options and what they are ACTUALLY doing. Maybe a deep dive at some point?
@@BrandonButch Thank you I really appreciate that! Also I bought a 16 pro max white titanium 1TB but it’s on back order. They’re telling me as late as October 28th. OOOF!
just a heads up guys if you choose to use pro raw & apple prores it will eat your memory up because of huge file sizes, those options should be used with a memory bank attached to the phone so goes straight in the memory bank!
I have my phone set to 90 and i accidentally forgot it was charging it still charged to 100% so i don’t think tha battery thing works the way ur explaining it
Hello Brandon! I hope you're doing great, I just have one question. What video editing software do you use? I love your videos! Keep up the amazing work
@@BrandonButchnah it’s cause anyone will find anyway to clown Apple if they just do one thing wrong, however if Samsung did something like this everyone would just be glazing them I’m telling you lol
Hello your video is very useful. Today I bought the iphone 16 and made several setting changes and finally I ended up by highlighting my front camera with a black strip. I see that in your video also. Your front camera is also highlighted in balck. Pls help me to undo that
Instead of press-able key apple should have used touch pad for camera control cause most of the time when i use the button to capture photos i get a camera shake while pressing it.
I like my iPhone 16 Pro, but may return it, as no one can tell me if Audio Max works with ProRes LOG footage; and no one, including Apple, can tell me how to change Audio Max settings for LOG clips (if it's available for LOG) in an external editor. In Fairlight I see just two audio tracks with ProRes LOG clips. I assume from this that (a) ProRes LOG doesn't record Audio Mix; and (b) if I shoot in other formats, maybe the phone will record a separate audio track for each Audio Mix setting so that I can choose the one I like in an external editor.
Nice! Finally getting to understand some of the camera format options and just found out too that photographic styles don't work with pro raw or JPEG XL, only with HEIF files. Is that accurate or am I missing something? Was hoping Pro Raw images would also allow adjusting for undertones, just for quick edits within the Photos app.
@@CarlosBarronJr yeah mine same also if I don’t use Heif files my photographic styles won’t show either. I can use al the JPEG ones though with it on my 16 pro max. I have jpeg lossless, jpeg xl lossless and jpeg xl lossy and can use photographic styles with all aslong as I use heif files.
Hey Brandon I have a problem with my camera button, I have to double click it to launch the camera even tho I have it on “single click “ in the settings .
the only thing i don't like about the photo app is when you take a photo 16:9 and you tap it it minimizes and also if you press settings it gets smaller again if you want to edit it. i would like it to stay the same size and the setting menu can just pop up without minimizing the picture size. Same thing happens with videos. Other than that i don't have a problem with it.
You have your phone on silent all the time Brandon? If so how to do hear if someone calls you or sends you a text, or when you get a notification from reminders or any other app?
Why are my settings a little different? As theres no specific option for camera control for that i need to go into the camera option and then i get a small camera control option (there aren’t all options)
difference between HEIF max and JPEG max is that HEIF is a different file compression and keep less data than JPEG, JPEG MAX is better, but takes up more space.
6 years using p30 pro and I had zero problems with battery charged to 100%, now it's just like 90% of the capacity it was on the beginning and it runs like 45W. Apple is just lying to everyone that slow charging and 80-90% batttery is the best option :D

We should all start a campaign for Apple to finally give us a professional course on how to make the most of their cameras and all the tricks they offer. At least for beginners like me lol
And they should just tell us which screen protectors we can use without having a nightmare hahaha
I use Vionentus screen protectors. The touch sensitivity is great.. I could cry when I touch an iPhone screen that feels totally rough.. 😭
Spigen screen protectors are good and easy to install. They also have camera lens protectors
we offer free courses at every apple store, it‘s called today at apple.
Flolab is the best screen protector money can buy. Doesn't apple already do these things at their stores? I remember seeing little classes going on showing old people how to use their iphones.
Camera control button is so intuitive to me, ive had almost no issues adjusting

Great Tips! Learned a ton from this... I'm still overwhelmed... but at least now I have a video to come back to check on what i keep forgetting! Thanks!
Thanks! It is definitely a lot to consume at once 😅
I know I'm not the only one who struggled BAD with the camera control button at first 😭💀
I didn't get the iPhone 16, but the button seems awkward and hard to reach naturally, without going up and over or across the screen.
my friend got a pro and i gotta say, i wasn’t expecting the camera control to actually be in perfect reach for me! idk, i really want the plus 😭😭😭
I could not get the button to work smoothly at all. THANK YOU for the tips on adjusting the sensitivity. Works perfectly now thanks to your guidance!
I ended up turning the button off, found it faster to just touch the screen
I’m gonna go to the Apple Store and get it right first try and then come back here and brag about it
The new photos app is super good to be honest. Very simple and easy to use for all ages, and if you want to customize it you have the option too.
This video is so helpful, thank you
Thanks for showing how to enable the 48mp on the iPhone 16, I didn't know it!
For faster wired charging, the current understanding is that you need a charger that supports 15V @ 3A. It doesn't matter if it supports higher voltages or total wattage, it has to support 15V specifically.

audio mix is cool

difference between HEIF max and JPEG max is that HEIF is a different file compression and keep less data than JPEG, JPEG MAX is better, but takes up more space.
