The Apple iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are anticipated to be unveiled in the latter half of 2024, with slight design modifications as indicated by earlier reports. There is a leaked image displaying cases for these new models, providing insights into what can be expected from the successors to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. This year, the standard variants are rumored to feature a vertical pill-shaped arrangement for the cameras, replacing the square camera island with rounded edges present in the iPhone 15 series and previous models.
A leak originating from tipster Sonny Dickson via X (formerly Twitter) showcased two smartphone cases, with one appearing slightly larger, potentially intended for the iPhone 16 Plus, and the other likely for the standard version. Both cases exhibit a vertical rear camera bump, accompanied by a plastic cutout for the LED flash positioned adjacent to the camera island.
Although the new camera setup aligning vertically has been a frequent topic in recent months, speculations indicate that the upcoming smartphones may house a dual rear camera configuration allowing spatial recording, a feature reportedly unavailable on the iPhone 15 due to its diagonal camera layout.
This year, it is anticipated that Apple’s Action button will transition from the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to all four models in the iPhone 16 series. The leaked cases also hint at the presence of the Action button on the standard iPhone 16 models, incorporating a cutout for the rumored Capture button rumored to debut later in the year.
Furthermore, another image released by the same tipster reveals the speculated iPhone 16 Pro model with a cutout potentially designated for the Capture button on Apple’s forthcoming flagship device. Additionally, leaked information regarding the color choices for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max suggests that these premium smartphones could be available in four distinct colors upon their release later in the year.
