We are weeks away from the much-anticipated launch of the purported Apple iPhone 16 lineup and dummy units of the series have surfaced online, providing a good glimpse into the design of the upcoming devices. The images, shared by Reddit user Kaxeno (u/kaxeno5), showcase the device's rear panel and hint at significant changes to the camera layout.
Vertical Camera Arrangement In iPhone 16
The most notable feature in the leaked images is the vertically aligned dual rear camera unit. This design shift from the diagonal arrangement found on the iPhone 15 suggests that Apple may be expanding spatial video recording capabilities to its standard models. Previously, this feature was exclusive to the iPhone Pro models.
The dummy image was also posted on X by Sonny Dickson.
Interestingly, the flash appears to have been relocated outside the main camera island, sitting flush with the rear panel to the right of the two lenses. This redesign aligns with earlier rumours and leaks about the iPhone 16's appearance.
New Colour Options
The dummy units of the iPhone 16 series in the leak showcase two classic colour options: black and white. However, noted leaksters suggest that the iPhone 16 lineup may also include more vibrant hues such as blue, green, and pink. Reports indicate that Apple might opt for more saturated shades this year, potentially giving the device a bolder look.
iPhone 16 Series Expected Specifications And Features
While the leaked images focus on the exterior design, rumours and leak about the iPhone 16's internal specifications continue to circulate.
- Display: A 6.1inch OLED screen is expected for the standard model
- Processor: The device may feature an A18 Bionic chip, built on TSMC's 3nm process
- New addition: The Action button, currently exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models, might make its way to the standard iPhone 16
iPhone Pro 16 Models May Get Better Chip
For those eyeing the higher-end versions, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are said to boast an even more powerful A18 Pro chip. This differentiation in processing power could further set apart the Pro models from their standard counterparts. As the anticipated launch date draws near, these leaked images offer an exciting preview of what Apple may have in store for its loyal customers. However, as with all leaks and rumours, it's important to approach this information with a degree of skepticism until official announcements are made.
