iPhone 16 Design Leaks Reveal Vertical Cameras and New Colors

Recent leaks have provided a detailed look at the upcoming iPhone 16 series, showcasing significant design changes and new color options. Here's what we know so far:

Vertical Camera Arrangement

All four iPhone 16 models will feature a vertical arrangement of two camera lenses. This design change is intended to support spatial video recording for 3D playback on the Apple Vision Pro headset. The Pro models will retain the additional periscope telephoto lens.

New Buttons

  • A capacitive Capture Button is being added to all iPhone 16 models, likely to serve as a focus and shutter button for the camera app.
  • The Action Button, previously exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models, will now be available across the entire iPhone 16 lineup.

Display Sizes

Rumors suggest larger displays for some models:

  • iPhone 16: 6.3 (up from 6.1)
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max: 6.9 (up from 6.7)

Colors

The leaks reveal seven color options, including:

  • Traditional black (possibly labeled as space grey)
  • Two pastel shades: pink and violet
  • White (a new addition)

Production Focus

According to display analyst Ross Young, Apple may emphasize production of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models, suggesting higher expected demand for these variants.

Other Potential Improvements

  • Brighter displays, with the iPhone 16 Pro rumored to offer 1200 nits typical SDR brightness (20% increase)
  • Slimmer MagSafe components
  • Color-infused back glass
  • New coating technology for camera lenses to reduce lens flare

While these leaks provide exciting insights, it's important to remember that plans can change before the official release. The iPhone 16 series is expected to launch in September, following Apple's usual release schedule.
