Apple’s rumored next-generation iPhone (iPhone 16 Series) was lit up by the leaked photos showing the mock-ups of that much-awaited device. With the posts by the notable insider Sonny Dickson on social media X, we see a peek at possible upcoming features of Apple’s future phones according to these leaks. The four models to be anticipated, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max are shown in the garbled pictures.
Apple’s iPhone 16 Lineup: Potential Design and Feature Updates Revealed Through Leaks
One of the most intriguing findings may be that each device of the iPhone 16 series has a dedicated Shutter button. According to the rumor, this button is presumed to be located on the right-hand side of the device and features both a capacitive touch surface and a physical design. This may be the case where users could use zoom-in or zoom-out gestures with higher accuracy. Not only that, a dedicated capture button, which was initially only available in iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, has also been added.
Other than that, there are indications that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models would be enlarged in size. There is a big buzz in tech circles that the screen of the iPhone 16 Pro will be bigger than its predecessor. The screen size is rumored to be 6.3 inches when it comes to display size. The iPhone 16 Pro Max may also anticipate the same increase in size, being allegedly 6.9 inches from the 6.7-inch display. The normal iPhone 16 and versions of the iPhone 16 are likely to share the same display dimensions as the iPhone 15 models for the time being.
Other interesting detail about the leaked pictures focuses on a possible redesign of the camera bump on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. This rumor would indicate Apple intends to use the same type of camera module found in Pro models with a vertical orientation. This kind of redesign could be the basis of the upgrade of camera features, perhaps for better spatial video recording that can be accomplished with the help of Apple’s Vision Pro.
Although the iPhones 16 series will be officially launched in September 2024, these leaks disclose important information about probable design and feature innovations that Apple may include in its upcoming smartphone generation. However, you must be aware that these leaks are unconfirmed and could change before the official news becoming out. Though, it is a great option as a conversational opener for tech heads and iPhone lovers alike.
