iPhone 16 Pro Camera control button too stiff?

[pgoelz]

While I love the idea of the camera control button and all it can do, I am finding that it requires so much force to actually "click" and take a picture that you end up moving the phone and can blur the photo in low light situations. This is with the phone in a case..... before I put it in the case, I was finding that it was very difficult to actually FIND the button by feel because it is essentially flush.

Anyone else?

Yeah, it’s a little stiffer than I’d like, especially in low light (but not quite night mode) situations.
It helps if you ‘squeeze’ the phone rather than ‘push’ the button, like you are doing target shooting with a rifle, but it’s still a bit stiffer than ideal. I’ve found with macro shots especially that I prefer to use the on screen shutter button.

I agree, I have a hard time as a lefty using it. I have to turn the phone upside down and use my left thumb, it feels much better that way; but harder to use the soft press features that way.

Agree it is a bit too stiff.

Agree, you guys think it's possible to get a software update in the future that adds some kind of sensitivity toggle in the settings we can adjust?

I doubt it. It's the spring. Maybe they'll change that for the iPhone 17s. Then we'll have to upgrade for that. LOL.
