With nearly four months until the grand unveiling of the iPhone 16 series, rumors about this highly anticipated annual phone have been circulating widely on the internet, as expected. Speculations suggest it will feature a new capture button, larger batteries and screen sizes, two new titanium color options, and employ new coating technology to reduce lens glare, among other things.
Now, courtesy of the YouTube channel EFTM, we get our first glimpse of what is purported to be dummy models of the iPhone 16 series, giving us a peek at what Cupertino has in store for September. Accurate models are crucial for companies producing phone cases and other accessories, ensuring timely availability of supported accessories.
While the metal dummy models of the iPhone 16 series showcased on the YouTube channel EFTM don't reveal every detail of the forthcoming iPhone 16 series, the models for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus display the rumored vertical camera module. This marks the first time since the iPhone 12 that rumors suggest iPhones will feature a vertical camera module.
Additionally, we also see the so-called capture button on the standard dummy models of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. Furthermore, according to the models showcased on the YouTube channel, the capture button might appear on all four iPhone 16 models. The video shows that the capture button's placement matches that of the SIM card slot on the current iPhone 15.
This suggests that after making eSIM a standard feature in iPhones sold in the United States, Apple may consider eliminating physical SIM cards on iPhones in more regions. Allegedly, the model of the iPhone 16 Pro Max also shows slight design changes, namely a slightly increased height, consistent with previous rumors.
Of course, all details are pieced together from purported models of the upcoming iPhone 16 series, so we advise caution regarding this information.
