iPhone 16 Debuts at Glowtime Event with New Features

The eagerly awaited iPhone 16 was showcased during Apple's Glowtime event. Apple unveiled an innovative model with numerous enhancements, being crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum and subsequently fortified with an elevated Ceramic Shield. Its toughness is anticipated to surpass its previous model by 50 percent. Among its key features are a customizable action button, initially launched with the iPhone 15 Pro, and a novel camera control on the right-hand side beneath the power button.

Noteworthy features include "Visual Intelligence", enabling consumers to receive detailed information about landmarks simply using their iPhone's camera. The innovative camera button offers tactile feedback, bringing a mini trackpad at users' fingertips. It’s designed to discern between a heavy click and a light press, each activating different functions.
