So playing with the new iPhone 16 Pro, And some quick thoughts:

First, it seems that the general idea of The Bottom right button to quickly draw your camera is actually a very insanely good idea. To me it is so good and critical because in photography and street photography… And life in general you don’t want to miss a single decisive moment.

Second, hats off to the Apple Photos team for the new Camera controls in terms of the photographic styles. The new stark black and white is actually a very good idea and actually works very very well. I’m currently playing with it in Stark mode, and it works very good.

Also Apple giving developers the ability to the control to swap out a third-party app as a default camera in the bottom right corner and lock screen is an insanely good idea. As a consequence, I think you’ll see more and more people adopt an iPhone first Approach.

However, already a critical issue, using the iPhone pro… Even though that the new titanium is lighter, I’m already starting to get carpal tunnel in my bottom right and in my wrist. A Very bad sign. Here, I’m starting to get curious if I just using or experimenting with the new normal iPhone, to reduce strain in my wrist?

The new desert gold color is actually very very nice… I suppose the way it is different from the traditional gold color is that it is more of a match titanium kind of a rose gold desert tan color? Very beautiful!

I still think my honest assessment is for the most part… If you’re really serious about photography, and it is you’re number one passion, iPhone pro is not the way. Going to be testing out the new LUMIX S9 that might be the one!
