The design of the iPhone16 camera may undergo some changes — here's what we know

All rumors indicate that the iPhone 15 series will look almost identical to the past few generations of iPhones, except for a few small changes. However, by the time the iPhone 16 arrives, the picture may change, as new leaks suggest that the rear camera module may be redesigned.

According to Twitter leaker Unknownz21, the iPhone 16 may take a cue from the iPhone 12 and place the camera lens in a vertical orientation. Currently, the iPhone 14's camera lens is positioned diagonally, and the iPhone 15 is expected to do the same.

Unknownz21 claims that this will "make it easy to tell at a glance that the device is the latest model," but there could be two different designs in the testing phase: the first is said to be based on the iPhone 12, with a square camera bump with two camera lenses positioned vertically in what appears to be a

The second design is claimed to maintain the vertical lens arrangement, but no other details are given. If I had to guess, I would say that this model may make some changes to the camera bump, but I doubt it will be completely eliminated. If so, the iPhone 16 may end up looking a little too much like the Samsung Galaxy S24.

It is not clear what the iPhone 16 Pro's camera will look like. However, if Apple keeps the iPhone 12-inspired camera bump, there will be no meaningful changes, as there will be a third lens.

In any case, Unknownz21 has stated that these phones will not arrive until late 2024, just as the iPhone 15 Pro's tactile button has been rumored to have been discontinued in recent months.

According to the latest rumors, this will not be the only design change for the iPhone 16 series. While there is still much we don't know about the phone, it has been reported that the 2024 iPhones could feature larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays. However, recent rumors suggest that this upgrade may only be for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

It has also been suggested that an under-display Face ID system may be announced for the iPhone 16 Pro and that it may be the first flagship device to feature an Apple 5G modem.

However, it will be a long time before we have any confirmation on these rumors. Until then, you can get the latest news and rumors at the iPhone 16 hub. Of course, if you can't wait until 2024 for a new iPhone, you can find the hottest gossip about Apple's next flagship model at the iPhone 15 Hub.
