Apple's new iPhone 16 won't have AI when it rolls out, but its new button is getting early users all excited instead

• Apple's iPhone 16 will include a new camera control button, which has generated significant buzz. 

• The button allows users to open the Camera app and zoom like a DSLR camera. 

• Apple Intelligence features will roll out later, enhancing the camera control button.

Apple's iPhone 16 has been touted as being a new frontier for the company — complete with AI. In fact, Apple Intelligence is being hailed as the feature that will drive iPhone sales over the next year.

But while the handset became available for preorder on Friday and will be in users' hands by the end of next week, Apple Intelligence won't actually roll out until October.

Sure, that might be kind of a letdown for some. However, the tech reviewers and content creators who descended on Apple Park to be the first to test out the iPhone 16 had something else that caught their eyes: the iPhone 16's new button dedicated to its camera app, which looks like a hit.
