How to Fix iPhone 16 Pro Max Camera Button Issues?

I got my new iPhone 16 pro max yesterday. The camera control button (even though I have the settings properly configured to open the camera on a single press, and I did the new software update this morning) only works after pressing it twice. I want to know what’s going on in terms of bug fixes for software or if it’s a defective unit all together?

I did a reset of the settings on my new iPhone 16 Pro, and it now works on a single click.

However, it doesn't activate the camera function if the screen is off, you have to wake up the phone first, and then the single-click works.
