Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Set iPhone camera to 16:9 default on iOS 15

Various “tips” say that I can make this the default by going to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings > Camera Mode

But, nope, that doesn’t work for me.


I turn that “preserve settings” mode on, take a picture, and then next time I open the camera app the aspect ratio is back to 4:3.


I have iOS 15.2. Is this something that no longer works?
