Iphone: iPhone 16 may look like iPhone 12, tipped to get vertically aligned cameras – Times of India

Apple is yet to take wraps off from the iPhone 15 series and the internet has already started buzzing about the 2024 iPhones. The rumour mill has already started churning updates about the iPhone 16 models. In a recent development, 9to5Mac citing a Twitter user @URedditor, shared some renders of the iPhone 16, showing vertically aligned cameras, similar to iPhone 12 series. Twitter users have suggested that Apple is likely to make its way again to the ‘vertical camera layout’ for its regular iPhone 16 models.
Apple likely to change iPhone 16 camera layout
Apple integrated diagonally aligned cameras to the iPhone series, while the Pro variants featured a similar triple camera setup with a slight bump. However, it is still unknown why Apple decided to switch the camera layout. It is said that it could be likely due to the arrangement of the internal components, especially when Apple unveiled the iPhone 13 mini.
As per CADs seen by 9to5Mac, iPhone 16 Pro Max is likely to feature a larger 6.9-inch display which is slightly higher than the current 6.7-inch display.
Analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young have corroborated this report. The analysts also believe that iPhone 16 Pro could get a 6.3-inch display which will be an upgrade from the 6.1-inch display, allowing Apple to place a periscope lens on both Pro models. Rumours are rife that only iPhone 15 Pro Max will feature the new lens for better optical zoom this year.
Meanwhile, Apple is gearing up for the launch of the new iPhone 15 series later this year. Similar to the iPhone 14 series, launched in 2022, the iPhone 15 series is also said to have four models, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
While it is to rely on such prototypes, Apple can still add a lot of changes, before the final product arrives in the market.
