Apple 's new iPhone 16s has a button-like camera control input on the side of the phone.

More basic controls are making a comeback in our cars and homes as well as on stoves, ovens, and washing machines.

Touch screen controls became popular in the late 2000s , offering more flexibility to customize controls.

Touch screens are more complicated to use, while buttons just feel more predictable and easier to use.

Ultimately, they are more natural and intuitive, so many people crave this return to the basics.

Tiny adjustments are simpler on a physical dial than arrowing up or down on a touch screen.
