It’s no secret that the Apple Intelligence rollout is a gradual one. The first six features are expected to launch at the end of this month, and we’re not anticipating the new version of Siri to properly debut until some point next year.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max continues to make headlines, with Apple firmly having the best performance and longest battery life smartphone this year.

Does limiting iPhone charging to 80% extend battery life?

Does limiting iPhone charging to 80% extend battery life | USB-C charging port on an iPhone 15 Pro

Both the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15 before it offer the option to limit charging to 80% rather than 100%. The thinking is that many people don’t need the full battery capacity of the device in a typical day, and it reduces wear on the battery, extending its life.

Camera Control video zoom isn’t usable yet, but I expect a software update to fix it

Capture Control video zoom | Screen grab at 2x zoom

Back in February, I talked about the difficulty of smoothly zooming video footage using the on-screen controls, and said I’d really love a hardware control. The iPhone 16 looked like it might give me what I wanted, with the Camera Control video zoom feature.

Unfortunately, right now, it doesn’t. Using the Camera Control slider to zoom in or out during video shooting is currently so bad it’s unusable …
