Recent rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 will introduce a redesigned camera bump with vertically-aligned lenses. This speculation is supported by a new image shared on social media by Sonny Dickson, which reveals dummy units of the iPhone 16 featuring this updated design. Alongside the redesigned camera bump, the image also showcases new color options for this year’s iPhone lineup.
The anticipated camera layout for the iPhone 16 involves stacking the Main camera and Ultra Wide lenses vertically. This design change is expected to facilitate the recording of spatial video, a feature currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
This shift in camera layout follows Apple’s previous adjustment in the iPhone 15 Pro, where the Telephoto and Ultra Wide lenses were repositioned to support spatial video capture.
The new dummy units of the iPhone 16 confirm the slimmer, vertically-aligned camera bump, contrasting with the previous diagonal arrangement. This alteration aligns with the speculation about improved video capabilities and reinforces the idea that Apple is focusing on enhancing the iPhone’s camera features across its range.
Along with the camera redesign, the leaked images also reveal new color options for the iPhone 16. While the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were offered in Blue, Yellow, Pink, Green, and Black, Ming-Chi Kuo’s reports indicate that the upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be available in Blue, Pink, White, Black, and Green. The new images give a preview of the specific shades Apple plans to feature.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also expected to feature the A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, a new capture button on the right-hand side, and the Action button. These new models will be announced in September, alongside the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and new Apple Watch hardware.
