iPhone 16 reactions - weird

[Herdfan]

You can map your side button for it under Settings > Action Button. You have to hold it for a second or 2 so you can't accidentally bump it, I personally use it for DND but it has a bunch of options.

I had mapped it to Timer, but I will go and change it to Ringer Off.

Thanks!

You can map it to all sorts of things. Even both of those at once.

Even though I think you’re politics is insane, try this little thing I put together for you:

Shortcuts

If you install this shortcut, you then assign it to your action button, you should get a little menu that lets you toggle silent mode or start a timer.

Edit: Actually hang on a moment. I just realized you may need to install the “actions” app for this particular version. I will upload a link to one that works without any additional apps in a few minutes.

Here ya go. This version should work out of the box without any additional apps. It’s a little less pretty, though, because it won’t have the icons.

Shortcuts

Thanks.

I think the issue I have been having is when you select the Action button in the Settings, you simply scroll through the options. And then which ever one is showing when you exit, is the one you get. I guess I expected a "Select" button or something to actually select it. Which is how I ended up with the Timer. It was actually a selectable option.

Well now that I have been using the 16 Pro Max in the wild for a bit, I can safely say that............the vloggers and reactors don't know what they are talking about.

The big jump in battery life all by itself justifies the upgrade. It's really cool using the phone all day and only seeing the charge going down only 2-4 points. The new shutter button is for me placed correctly - I MUCH prefer landscape shots to portrait. I suspect this may also be because I am not into selfies. The phone is also very snappy and responsive and like past iPhones the color calibration on the display is flawless. Oh, and I found a folio case that comes close to the classic Apple folio case - it is the Shieldon leather folio with MagSafe.

Yep. https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/ip...lts-are-in-and-we-can-hardly-believe-our-eyes

One or two extra buttons (depending on which model you are coming from), much better cameras, AI features (which most people haven’t even gotten access to yet, but will shortly), bigger screens, smaller bezels, much improved SoC, etc. Certainly as big an iterative improvement as almost every other year. I guess people aren’t excited anymore unless the face changes - when apple changes the pill-shaped cutout to a circle, I guess they’ll be happy and declare it a massive change.

I do this on my 15 PM. If you press the Action button once, the current setting is displayed in the Dynamic Island. If you press and hold, it toggles the setting, with multiple haptic “beats” for silent, one for ring. You get the same feedback when you press the volume buttons.

In love with the new iPhone 16 after a few days. This is my first Face ID device and I like it much better than I predicted.

I’m weird in that I like gadgets more than most so I’ll screw with them and troubleshoot problems forever but, when it comes to cameras I just tune out. Trying to get a handle on Camera Control and watching a YouTube tutorial bores me immediately. My wife is switching over today, I’m hoping she takes the lead on that.

one thing I have to resize pics often to post them on forums now. not a huge deal but a bit of a hassle.

I might have to disable the camera button. Absolutely driving me nuts how many times I press that picking up my phone.

Weird, I don’t have that issue. It’s kept in my right front pocket and the case somewhat prevents accidental pressing. Pretty sure the sensitivity of the button can be adjusted.

I push it, but not hard enough to activate it.

i’ve never had that happen, happily. I’m not thrilled with the “half-press” behavior, though. I’d prefer it work like the old home button (tap it) or like a real camera button (half-press). I never feel confident I’ve pressed it enough without triggering the shutter. I’ve tried adjusting the sensitivity but i’m still not feeling it.
