Leaked Images Unveil Apple iPhone 16 Prototype Design Changes

Even though the iPhone 16 series is still a ways off, a recent MacRumors post provides some important information about the basic design of the device. Three pre-production design images that show the potential new modifications are now available. Apple is rumored to be experimenting with the back design and button location on the future basic iPhone, called internally "DeLorean." The first design is a vertical pill that houses two camera lenses in a camera configuration reminiscent of the iPhone X.

The yellow iPhone 16 prototype also has a single volume rocker button rather than the dual volume up and down buttons that have been a part of every iPhone since 2010. Above the volume rocker, all three smartphones include capacitive Action Buttons; the black variant has a noticeably bigger button. The camera design is changed to a more recognizable style in the other two renderings, which are displayed in pink and black. Each lens is now enclosed in a metal ring.

A capacitive Capture Button situated beneath the power button is another characteristic of the black variant. According to an earlier report, the new button within Apple headquarters is dubbed "Project Nova" and will function as both a camera shutter and a force touch sensor. It is anticipated that the Action Button will be available for the whole iPhone 16 series.
