In recent times, there has been a flurry of leaks concerning the iPhone 16 series. A recurring theme among these reveals has been potential upgrades to the design of this generation of iPhones.
Last year, there was buzz suggesting that Apple's new iPhone lineup would see a more definitive design reveal around March of this year.
Now, the latest leaks have once again brought to light rendered images showcasing what the next-generation iPhone 16 could look like.
Looking at the visuals, the new iPhone 16 doesn't seem to sport any major changes on the front screen—it continues with the punch-hole and Dynamic Island design approach. However, there's room for anticipation regarding whether Apple will further reduce the bezels surrounding the screen.
As for the design on the back, it's set for a fresh adjustment in this iteration.
Consistent with several leaked renderings so far, the iPhone 16 standard and Plus models are said to feature a vertically aligned dual-camera setup. This latest leak aligns with those speculations, showcasing the same design.
Recent leaks have surfaced, purportedly showcasing molds and models of the iPhone 16, revealing a vertically arranged camera module. This suggests a significant redesign of the rear camera setup for the upcoming iPhone 16, leaning towards a vertically aligned configuration.
It's understood that this design adjustment might be aimed at introducing spatial video recording capabilities to the iPhone 16, to enhance its integration with the Vision Pro spatial computing device. Spatial video recording requires two cameras to be aligned vertically, ensuring the accurate computation of 3D spatial videos.
In addition to adjustments at the rear camera module, the latest renderings also reveal a newly added shooting button on the side. According to the images, this new button is positioned below the power button on the right side of the device.
Reportedly, this added button will be used for shooting videos, capable of recognizing variations in the force applied by the user. It can then adjust the zoom, take photos, or focus based on the intensity and manner of the button press.
Currently, there have been numerous leaks related to the appearance of the upcoming iPhone 16. Previous renderings, photos of protective cases, and model images all reveal a consistent approach to the rear camera design, strongly suggesting that the iPhone 16 is highly likely to adopt this design.
Moreover, the higher-end Pro models are expected to continue with the current design scheme. According to the latest leaks, both iPhone 16 Pro series devices will maintain a design similar to their predecessors. However, they are also rumored to feature a new side button for photography. Yet, based on the information available, the rationale behind Apple's decision to add a new side button to its devices is somewhat puzzling. The actual utility of this button is a matter of curiosity.
In addition to the smartphone news, there's fresh buzz about the next generation iPad Pro. Earlier leaks had suggested that Apple would unveil the new iPad Pro in March of this year. However, now that it's April 2024, it's clear that this anticipated launch has not materialized.
There's been further news indicating that the release of the iPad Pro 2024 has been delayed until May, citing a shortage in OLED panel supply.
Now, the latest leak suggests that Apple might unveil the new iPad Pro and iPad Air in the second week of May.
For those eagerly awaiting, it seems there's still some more waiting to do.
