A protective case for the iPhone 16 was exposed online, once again supporting the previous rumors that the standard version of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will use a vertical rear camera module design.
It is reported that Apple has been testing different camera module designs for the standard iPhone 16 series in the past few months, and all designs use vertical solutions. Previously exposed renderings adopt this design, placing the wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle cameras in separate pill-shaped raised lens circles, which is reminiscent of a classic design style similar to the iPhone X. The microphone is located next to the lens group, and the flash has been moved away from the raised area on the back of the phone.
With the vertical camera layout, the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to support spatial video recording. The current iPhone 15 series uses an oblique camera arrangement and does not have the spatial video recording function. This feature is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro series.
In addition to the new camera module design, the previously exposed iPhone 16 prototype is also equipped with a physical Action button similar to the iPhone 15 Pro, as well as a hidden pressure-sensitive shooting button for horizontal shooting, which is also included in the latest spy photos of the phone case. to locate the hole for the shooting key.
The emergence of spy photos of phone cases at this stage does not mean that Apple has determined the final design of the iPhone 16. Third-party phone case manufacturers usually design new products based on leaked information and rumors, so these spy photos may not be the final version. However, recent revelations seem to suggest that Apple has finalized the design of this year’s iPhone 16.
