iPhone 16 Camera Control could be copied by Android — this looks like the next smartphone trend

IPhone 16 Camera Control.

The iPhone 16 has a brand-new Camera Control button, as we learned at the Glowtime event earlier this week. And it's clearly making an impact as a few Android phones have already announced they want to imitate it.

One example is Chinese phone maker Nubia. Company president Ni Fei took to social network Weibo (via Android Authority) shortly after Apple's announcement to claim that the Nubia Z70 Ultra would adopt a "more realistic camera button" with a half-press-to-focus function. Such a button would build on the Nubia Z60 Ultra, which already has a sliding key that can be used to quickly open the camera or another app, but it couldn't be used to actually take photos.
