I think that camera spot on the lock screen is a good spot to put ChatGPT voice. Can’t put it on the action button since silent mode is needed, and there’s camera control

How can we adjust the colour temperature? I do not see any control for that?

[CapnCrnch]

I actually really like the camera button..

Does any one of you ever thought that the camera control might become the touch ID that apple might launch in their iphone?

Hi, Here is a tip for a video. Apple is lying on spatial photos capability for iPhone 15 pro max. I currently own iPhone 15 pro max. I was considering to buy iPhone 16 pro Max because the apple website says, my iPhone 15 Pro Max can only do spatial videos but not spatial photos. I know that the spatial uses multiple lens at the same time to capture the depth information. I thought may be the 15 pro max cannot take it because the spatial photos also require the new 48 MP ultra wide camera which is available only only on 16 pro. I thought spatial photos requires both the zoom camera and ultra wide camera being same resolution. BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. I am running iOS 18.1 beta on my iPhone 15 pro max and I can cleary take both spatial photos and spatial photos. I have the option in camera. So it seems like the spatial photos limitation on iPhone 15 pro max is PURELY A SOFTWARE LIMITATION.

I further looked at apple website the resolution of spatial photos on iPhone 16 Pro. It's only 12 MP. So my assumption that both the lens needing to be same resolution was not true. I phone 15 pro max wide angle resolution is only 12MP. So it can cleary take spatial photos. The beta 18.1 software proves it. I have taken many spatial photos on 15 Pro Max. Can you please make a video on this?

I know you’ve had the same email since you were a jit 😂 100, 000+ is insane

No point with any of the camera shortcuts anymore, just use camera control 🥴
