Does the photo at the top of this article show aniPhone 12, or aniPhone 16? According to the latestiPhonerumour, it could be both. According to Twitter leakerUredditor, the base model iPhone 16 will have a similar vertical camera layout to the iPhone 12.
According to the leak,Appleis testing two versions of iPhone 16 cameras but both have two camera rings arranged vertically in the camera bump. However, as this is a 2024 iPhone there’s no guarantee that this change will happen; Uredditor points to the apparent cancellation ofiPhone 15 solid-state buttonsas a warning, although it might also be an admission that this particular prediction isn’t too solid.
Why is Apple rearranging the cameras on the iPhone 16?
Uredditor isn’t one of the better known Apple leakers, but they do have a track record: they leaked the existence ofiOSApp Clips before their reveal in 2020, and they recently shared what appears to be an image of theiPhone 15’s USB-C port.
Let’s assume the rumour is accurate. Why would Apple be doing it? The most likely answer is that Apple has found a more space-efficient way to cram in its various camera components, which were moved from vertical to diagonal positioning to make room for the upgraded camera system. It’s unlikely to be connected to the long-rumourediPhone periscope zoom; the latest rumours about that say it’s going to be Pro-only.
Uredditor’s warning is worth heeding, though: this phone isn’t due until Autumn 2024 and Apple can change, cancel or come up with entirely new designs between now and then.
