Apple iPhone 16 may borrow this design feature from iPhone 12

The report cites a leakster with Twitter account name @URedditor. It says that the design could be extended to other phones under the iPhone 16 series. 

In case you are unaware, Apple switched to a diagonally-arranged rear camera setup with the iPhone 13 and 13 mini. The design was continued with iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus and is also likely to be adopted for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. But not to iPhone 16.

As per the tipster, the change in camera layout when combined with other newer design aspects like the Dynamic Island and a USB-C port will make the device “instantly recognizable.”

At the time of introducing the diagonal arrangement for rear camera sensor, Apple said that “a redesigned rear camera layout with diagonally arranged lenses enables the advanced dual-camera system.” MacRumours report says that Apple may have finally figured out a way to fit camera components within a vertical orientation again.

Apple iPhone 16 series is expected to make a debut in September 2024. As mentioned earlier, it is too early to talk about the phone’s features as the design may change with the final product. 

According to reports, bigger changes coming with iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max could include larger displays with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens, respectively. 

Meanwhile, Apple is rumoured to be working on its ChatGPT and Bard rival. The Cupertino-based company is reportedly hiring for positions across its machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). According to a report by Pocket-lint, Apple US career page has 176 current job openings. Of them, 43 are posted this month.
