Apple iPhones are praised across the world for their videography prowess, and with the iPhone 16 Pro series, the company is taking it to the next level by introducing 4K 120fps Dolby Vision-format video recording capability. But, this story is not about that.
This is about a new feature Apple has added, one that makes the life of all iPhone videographers easier – the ability to pause while recording video on an iPhone.
While the first iPhone could only take photos, Apple added the ability to record videos on the iPhone 3GS in 2009. However, unlike most Android smartphones, iPhone users, using the native camera app, could only continuously record video with no ability to pause the recording and resume it later.
In the latest iOS 18 beta build, Apple is finally adding a new option to the camera app, which will give users the freedom to pause multiple times while shooting a video and still have one single footage. This feature was first spotted by 9to5Mac on the iOS 18 Release Candidate beta, which is considered as good as the stable release.
This feature is available on all iPhones eligible for the iOS 18 update, releasing on September 16, and the latest iPhone 16 series will be the first set of iPhones to ship with this capability. They are also the first set of iPhones to include a dedicated “Camera Control” button, which offers DSLR-like camera control capability on the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro series.
