The iPhone 16’s brand-new design
On the current - generationiPhone 15duo , we get diagonally format television camera lenses positioned atop a square - ish meth bump . In the forthcoming versions , Apple is reportedly replacing it with a perpendicular pill - like camera island , mirroring the looking at we first saw on the iPhone X.

The balance of the equipment profile will in all likelihood stay unchanged . The full - screen aesthetics clear off by the Face ID cutout are here to stay , and so is the physical push layout . There is n’t much credible information on the innards , but a new Si in the A17 serial is expected alongside small-scale photographic camera refinement .

It ’s a potentially big design geological fault for Apple — and one that ’ll certainly make the iPhone 16 a visually distinct upgrade from its iPhone 15 predecessor . Is it a confident change , though ?
Harkening back to the iPhone X is a fun musical theme , specially since Apple has used the same square - ish camera swelling plan since the iPhone 11 serial . It would also give the iPhone 16 a more visual difference from the iPhone 16 professional , for whatever that ’s worth .
iPhone 16 Pro changes
On theiPhone 16 Promodels , it seems Apple is content with the refresh it present for theiPhone 15 Propair . The only visible variety is going to be an superfluous button on the right boundary of the telephone , sitting below the power button . report suggest it wo n’t be a forcible button .

alternatively , this raw button will be flush with the phone ’s frame and might even feature capacitive sensing element underneath . rumour propose it will be used somewhat like a camera shutter button and might be customizable , just like the iPhone 15 Pro couple ’s Action button . It ’s great to see an element popularized by the Lumia and Xperia phones make a return !
To accommodate this fresh button , Apple is also relocating the feeler to the other side . Once again , Titanium will be deployed to make the premium iPhones , but we just might get a new semblance that is internally referred to as “ White Titanium . ”
Under the cap , the smaller “ Pro ” model in 2024 will also get the same tetraprism 5x telephoto zoom discourse currently exclusive to theiPhone 15 Pro Max . On the iPhone 16 Pro Max , we might see Apple pull a Samsung and arm it with a 10x rapid growth camera .
It seems some of the internal upgrades will also take a toll on the overall dimensions . 91Mobiles claims that the iPhone 15 Pro will be improbable , wider , and thicker than its predecessor at 149.6 by 71.4 by 8.4 mm . bar that , the aesthetic profile will be the same bland thing that Apple first introduced with the iPhone 11 Pro lineup .
