Apple’s keynote was «shot on iPhone» – what that means exactly

Take a Byte episode 12: The iPhone 16 is unusually complicated
20.9.2024
The iPhone 16 is here. We discuss our first impressions of the new features, buttons and cameras. And why the biggest innovation of all is yet to come.
Apple unveiled its new devices last week, but the keynote ended with a bitter disappointment: Apple Intelligence will not be available to the general public until October - and even then only in English. Apple is keeping its German-speaking customers in suspense until next year. We discuss what exactly this means for iPhones and users.
Despite this, the phones have a few new features to offer - especially in the camera area. We ponder whether mood and tone options are not too complicated for occasional photographers. The shutter button (which Apple doesn't want to call a button) is also a topic. Half press, full press, slide - does Apple want too much here?

Samuel Buchmann
Snapping and climbing. This aptly describes Samuel. His heart beats for photography, whether analogue or with an overpriced Hasselblad, at the price of which others buy a car. The cameras are used when travelling or on rock faces at dizzying heights. Naturally, he edits the images on a Mac. Because whether it's his headphones, smartphone or laptop, Samuel is deeply rooted in the garden of the nibbled apple.

I've been tinkering with digital networks ever since I found out how to activate both telephone channels on the ISDN card for greater bandwidth. As for the analogue variety, I've been doing that since I learned to talk. Though Winterthur is my adoptive home city, my heart still bleeds red and blue.
