iPhone 16 Set for Design Overhaul with Vertical Camera Array
There's buzz circulating about Apple shaking things up with the design of its entry-level iPhone 16, particularly with a noticeable shift in the arrangement of its rear cameras. Rumor has it that the cameras, which were previously set diagonally, will now adopt a vertical layout reminiscent of the iPhone 12 from back in 2020. A fresh batch of renders and design schematics has surfaced online, offering a closer look at what's in store. These images depict a pill-shaped camera module housing two sensors on the back, with the LED flash positioned to the side. Renders courtesy of @MajinBuOfficial x @upintheozone showcases the iPhone 16 in a sleek blue hue.
In addition, a separate rendering from Apple Hub treats us to glimpses of several color variations, along with a side-by-side comparison with the iPhone 16 Pro, which is anticipated to feature a similar design to the iPhone 15 Pro. According to speculation, the revamped camera setup on the iPhone 16 is geared towards enabling the device to capture spatial video, which users can then enjoy on the Apple Vision Pro.
As for other anticipated features, leaks suggest that both the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will stick with the same 60Hz refresh rate displays. Moreover, whispers in the tech sphere hint at the inclusion of the Action Button and Apple A18 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity in the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models.
