Take a Byte episode 12: The iPhone 16 is unusually complicated
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?

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.

Data protection and audio issues are two of Florian's favourite topics. Whether cyberattacks, phishing emails or browser malware - Flo knows every recipe. His favourite way to prepare his meals is on his trusty MacBook. He doesn't get lost in the Windows jungle that often any more. Except when he wants to game "Counter-Strike". But even then, thanks to the Parallels software, he remains loyal to the bitten apple world. He also sometimes has a gripe about the performance of his football club. Because despite his adopted home of Winterthur, his heart still beats red and blue.
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.
