An image shared by X user Majin Bu suggests that the iPhone 16 will have a vertical camera layout, supporting some earlier reports. Tech publication MacRumors has independently confirmed the authenticity of the I-34 camera project component via industry sources.
"This would appear to be the new camera module of the iPhone 16, as you can see the vertical positioning is confirmed," Majin Bu posted on X, formerly Twitter.
He also posted an image of iPhone 16 camera lens protector.

This capability relies on vertically aligned cameras, which are present in the Pro models with their triple-camera setups, but absent in the non-Pro models.
