The iPhone 16 series has been making headlines lately with numerous leaks and rumors detailing possible changes for the upcoming lineup. Recently, CAD renders and smartphone cases have surfaced online, giving us a glimpse of what the new iPhones might look like. Now dummy units, typically used by case manufacturers to ensure compatibility, have also appeared online, offering an early peek at the iPhone 16 series.
Shared by Sonny Dickson on X/Twitter, the
images reveal the designs of all four models in the iPhone 16 lineup. As
expected, there are noticeable design alterations compared to the previous
iPhone 15 lineup. Significant changes are in store for the iPhone 16 and iPhone
16 Plus. The images show that Apple is switching the camera alignment of these
models to a vertical setup from the diagonal one seen in previous versions. The
change is intended to enable spatial video recording for Vision Pro.
Additionally, the Action button,
previously exclusive to Pro iPhone models, seems to be present across all
iPhone 16s. We can also see a new Capture button on the device’s right side.
Rumors suggest that the button will employ a mechanical design with a
capacitive surface for gesture-based zoom controls.
The dummy units also show that the iPhone
16 Pro and Pro Max will be slightly larger than the base iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.
While not confirmed, there’s speculation that the Pro models may see a slight
increase in display size, reaching 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches for the Pro and
Pro Max, respectively.
Apple is expected to launch iPhone 16
series smartphones sometime in September. As with any leaks and rumors, it’s
essential to keep in mind that these details are not yet confirmed and may
change before the official reveal.
