iPhone 13 Pro's new macro mode toggle is great because someone's listening

Someone's paying attention to the criticism, and that makes for better products.

The news that iOS 15.2 is set to gain a macro mode toggle for iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max devices is very much welcome, but not for the reasons you might be thinking.

Well, not only for the reasons you're thinking.

When Apple added macro mode to the two high-end iPhone 13 models, it set things up to automatically switch to macro mode when iOS decided that was what users wanted. The problem is that iOS doesn't always know what's best, causing some to find macro mode was being enabled when they didn't want it. Apple added a toggle to disable that automatic switching with iOS 15.1, but with iOS 15.2 beta 2, we now have a button in the camera app that enables and disables macro mode on the fly. And it's glorious.

iOS 15.2 finally adds a manual toggle for Macro mode, right from the camera! pic.twitter.com/w3ef3xdCsJ—
