Tech Friday: Rumors of vertical iPhone16 camera layout
Posted By RichC on December 15, 2023
Just a little light “rumor reading” to close out the year when it comes to future Apple iPhones. Not that it makes any difference to most users, but it is possible the “side by side” camera lens (see below photo with my iPhone 7 Plus) could go vertical again (iPhone X thru 12)? Recent ones have been diagonally configured … change for the sake of change?
See MacWorld’s “Leaked iPhone 16 prototypes” article:
The vertical lenses are the most immediately obvious design change coming in the 16-generation iPhones, but they’re not the only one. MacRumors says Apple also plans to revamp the hardware buttons. The haptic-enabled unified volume button, which was developed for the iPhone 15 Pro but eventually canceled, still isn’t going to happen on the iPhone 16. But we are getting two new capacitive buttons: the Action button, which did make it into the 15 Pro but will be standardized across the range in 2024, and a completely new Capture button with an unknown purpose, which appears in only some of the prototypes and may not make the final design.
As MacRumors says, these are early prototypes and may not match the eventual shipped product. To keep up with the latest news and rumors, check our regularly updated iPhone 16 superguide.
