iPhone 16 Pro What’s this square icon in the camera app and is it only available on the iPhone 16 Pro?

I just saw the iPhone 16 pro at the Apple Store and when I opened the camera app I noticed a square icon in the top right that I don’t have on my iPhone 15 Pro. It seems to be some sort of a tone control. I attached a screenshot below. Is it also available on my iPhone 15 Pro or is that only on the 16 Pro?

That's the button for getting into the new photographic styles options. And yes, this is (for some reason) exclusive to the 16 line.

A17 Pro is powerful enough for AI, but for the latest generation Photographic Styles, you need A18.

You were being sarcastic, right?

Apple always artificially locks the latest camera features to the newest iPhones. It's how they sell them.
