iPhone 16 Camera Control - an Accessibility control Apple needs to add.

I’ve complained not once, but twice about the single click to take a photo being a bad idea. The iPhone shakes at exactly the wrong time and you risk taking a blurry photo, especially if you’re doing it one-handed.

Considering how much customizability Apple gives you in the Camera Control settings, they can easily make one more customization:

A single light press (the half-press with haptic feedback) to take photos. This does mean no more menu system to adjust common camera controls like exposure, zoom, etc., but there is already an option under Accessibility that allows you to disable the Light-Press and Swipe gestures altogether, getting rid of the common camera controls.

If Apple is OK with getting rid of the common camera controls, why not let us use a single or double click to launch the camera, and a single light press to take a photo?

Apple even included 3 sensitivity settings for light presses in accessibility, so you can fine tune the force for light presses.

This would honestly be a game changer and would make more people use the feature, especially for people who have a hard time pressing a button that is already flush with the phone’s body, making it the hardest button to press on the device.
