iPhone 16's camera reveals surprising design shift
Rumors suggest that Apple is set to introduce a significant design overhaul with its iPhone 16 series, marking a return to vertical camera setups for the first time in years.
cumhuriyet.com.trThe technology giant is reportedly preparing for a major shift in smartphone design with the upcoming iPhone 16 series.
Historically favoring horizontal or rectangular camera alignments, the company is expected to break tradition with the iPhone 16 models. Newly leaked photos have unveiled the look of the iPhone 16 camera.
WHAT THE IPHONE 16 CAMERA MIGHT LOOK LIKE
Images surfacing on social media have showcased the iPhone 16's camera module, indicating that Apple might employ vertically aligned cameras for the first time since the iPhone 12 series. This change is anticipated to enhance the design distinction between the Pro and standard models.
According to a report by ShiftDelete, the leaked photo aligns with previous leaks in recent months. Early technical drawings had suggested that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus might feature a vertical camera setup, hinting at accelerated testing by Apple.
Switching to a vertical camera arrangement could facilitate advancements like the Spatial Video used in the Vision Pro. Currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro, Spatial Video leverages a LiDAR scanner and depth sensors for 3D video recording.
Analysts believe that vertically aligned cameras will simplify the use of Spatial Video and augmented reality features, breaking a longstanding design convention.
Rumors also hint at Apple adopting a camera design similar to Samsung's Galaxy series for the iPhone 16 lineup.
