Cry in denial and also take your own advice and go see that Psychiatrist without delay for your NPD as you obviously seem unable to comprehend that people might have preferences and wants/needs different to yours... ;)
What I find funny (and sad) is your inability to admit that you got owned in your pseudo reasoning against a dedicated shutter and physical controls in general.
Oh and don't be Age-ist or Disable-ist because after all, it's your generation that came up with the words to say that they are bad after all ;)

You got owned on your obvious wrong and laughable point about the digital shutter keeping the phone .ore stable than a dedicated shutter button on the side of the phone and you've nothing to say about that so resorting to assuming medical conditions and throwing personal insults now? 😂
Isn't your generation the one that has the mostpsych related illnesses from the teen ages and flaunt it like a badge of honour, lol!
There was never a dedicated physical shutter button on the iPhone that is obvious. But now they're finally planning to include one and all if a sudden people like you are against it just because you don't see in value or purpose in that? You basically have the mentality that 'less physical controls/ buttons the better' which has been shown to be counter productive and downright dangerous in the real world numerous times!
People like you advocate for the removal of features and digitalisation of everything just to look hip and feel futuristic while forsaking practicality and reliability and that was what i was arguing against all this time lmao! That's a dumb mindset to have which can be manipulated to eleven by the manufacturers in all markets and I provided examples of such practices in my previous replies.
You talk about declining mental acuity yet you are the one who is unable to grasp what the conversation is really about.
Now I've a feeling you'd come up with another boo mer insult so, what exactly is your generation's contribution to civilization; tik tok dances, pro nouns, psych related illnesses that's supposed to earn special points , participation trophies etc?
To summarise, if you don't like a dedicated shutter button on an iPhone or any other device, that's fine you can keep on using the digital shutter. Us folks who find the dedicated physical shutter useful will use that instead. There's a lot of us who benefit from a dedicated shutter button played along the side edge of a phone, regardless of the brand!
Just don't make a fool out of yourself by advocating for removal of practical, useful physical controls just because YOU don't find those useful because this might come as a surprise but the world DOESN'T revolve around you...
There's a name for the type of people who want to have their will exercised over that of all others, starts with 'N', ends with 'i' and you come across as one ;)

The argument is about adding a button and I question its usefulness and aesthetic for a company like Apple.

I face palmed when I read some of the comments here bashing the shutter button and physical buttons in general.

Pressing the shutter button on any of the above would focus automatically and then capture the shot!
Half press was just to focus peek or to trigger focus mechanism in the rare case the camera itself didn't focus!
Technology will improve, for sure. But is it meant to be adopted as fast, just because it advanced???
Advancement in technology doesn't make them perfect! It just makes them new. It takes years of testing and user feedback to perfect it.
And yes if you don't hold the camera / phone steady enough, despite all the supporting tech/ algorithms/ OIS, you may still get a blurry pic.
But guess what a conveniently placed shutter button allows the user to do genius..... yeah that's right, it helps to HOLD THE PHONE MORE STEADILY, even while pressing the dedicated shutter button!
Simple physics. When you press the onscreen digital shutter, the force exerted is perpendicular to the screen of the phone, so it doesn't get cancelled or diminished by the forces exerted by the gripping of the phone by thumb and index fingers on the upper and lower sides!! As a result the phone jerks momentarily towards the Z axis. In a sufficiently dark situation where the camera software decides to have a slower shutter speed, this delay is enough to result in a blurry picture! So if anything this dedicated shutter button will help low light photography just by the virtue of its convenient placement!
Everything you mentioned is just wrong, just shows your inexperience really. Otoh, manufacturers would love customers like you who would cheer for less physical components and more software gimmickery just because "mah technology " and allow them.to increase their profit margins.
Oh and also, there's a reason why professional grade cameras (digital or otherwise) still retain the legacy physical controls instead of cramming everything into a touchscreen 😉
And just ask the car manufacturers, they tried to do the same and increase their profit margins and also mime data by forcing touch screen controls on the users. Not only the customers refused to buy such vehicles but it was also found to be more dangerous and distracting to to the driver! So now they're back to reintroducing button based interiors (even VW).
So regardless of the 'remove buttons for the sake of removing them' lot like you, button based controls will continue to exist until we are no longer limited by our physicality 😉 .

OpenSUSE, 27 Mar 2024This is just taking me back to cars having so many buttons. And cars having buttons for main functions instead of having to dog through touchscreen menus is a good thing.
Anyone who daily drives a car would agree....

Everyone here brings up old phones with a physical camera button. Even when the Lumia 930 which was released in 2014 still used this button.
Sure, any on-screen button will do it like someone said. But it isn't in the best position to use it. Normally, when someone wants to take a picture, they point the camera to the object using index and thumb fingers on both sides on all corners (in landscape mode). If we use on-screen, we need to remove the right thumb on the right bottom corner to tap the shutter button, reducing stability. Any shutter button positioned on the right index finger will do the job WHILE the index finger still holds the phone steady.
All Lumia series had this button (along with the on-screen one if anyone wants it). And I still prefer the physical button over the on-screen one. This is one of the features I longed for when switching from Windows Phone to Android.
Oh... And... Any point-and-shoot cameras in 2006 (I had one back then) DO have active autofocus. It always looks for focus when the camera changes direction. The two-step button can be hit halfway to refocus and then hit deeper to snap, or we can just hit it deeper all the way. If the camera already gains focus, it just snaps it. If not, It will find focus and then snap it.

Reality..., 27 Mar 2024I'm sorry but I have to fully disagree with your comme... more2 step shutter was a legacy method due to traditional cameras not having always-on auto focus, and it's totally not user firendly. Go ask your boomer friends to see if they even like
or know having to do that on their old cameras. It's annoying and not intuitive. When a user press a button, they expect a photo to be taken, not having to do an extra step. Smartphones have democratized photography because it's actually more user friendly to just tap a button and done. Camera shake is irrelevant as if you don't hold your device properly, you'll get blurred image whether it's 2 step or not. Besides, modern smartphones camera actually continually taking pictures even before you press the shutter button.
This is not about removing something. There's no button to begin with. Technology is supposed to move forward, not backward relying on old mindset that have been deprecated due to better modern solutions.

Anton .el PAPI., 26 Mar 2024As I say good things about Apple or Samsung, we must also s... moreSeriously, what's the gripe you (young) people have against physical buttons???
A button less design may look hip amd futuristic but that doesn't make it more practical or functional!
Just look at the vehicle manufactures removing physical buttons and including controls for everything from the A/C etc in the touchscreen. The results are disastrous and the sales are down and now they are returning to physical buttons and knobs!
Did you know that our fingertips have special nerve endings that allow us to identify even the most subtle patterns and projections just by feeling them (ex how you identify between different coins just by touching them)??? Now this combined with the joint position sensations of our fingers allow is to build up muscle memory as to where the physical buttons are. Incredibly useful as it allows us to use them even without looking at the screen or the device in the first place. Now this can never be achieved on a touchscreen as it's flat and the interface changes depending on where you are in the OS.
For this simple biological reason, we need buttons for core functions of a smartphone or any appliance we use in our daily life. For, the technology may have evolved but we certainly haven't.
Don't even get me started on the occasions where the touchscreen becomes unresponsive due to freezes or cold temperature/ cold or wet fingers or while wearing gloves!...

1. Balances the forces when the button is pressed.
2. Shall fingers don't have to reach across the screen to touch the digital shutter.
3. Viewfinder isn't obstructed when the digital shutter is moved to top left or top right for convenience.
Basically, simply physics explain its usefulness yet people are baffled by its addition??

Anonymous, 27 Mar 2024If you don't get it, you don't need it. Move along. Exactly, well said!
I just don't understand why people have to advocate for removal of features when they are not forced to use them in anyway. Probably someone who was born after the release of the OG iPhone amd thought that was the blueprint for smartphones lol!
I still remember the good old days of physical shutter buttons like the Sony Ericsson K750i, 800i, Nokia N73,N82,N95 and N8.
All had excellent cameras and shutter buttons, was very convenient to just slide off the camera cover and press the shutter button without ever bothering to unlock the screen and focus wasn't an issue too as the shutter buttons were 2 stage.
I've waited years for android manufacturers (other than Sony) to pick up on this useful feature but alas,nope.
I'm seriously considering switching to Apple once this gets released because I value the physical shutter that much...
