Leaked iPhone 16 hands-on images reveal possible design changes
The iPhone 16 series is expected to go official in less than a month. While the rumored launch is still weeks away, a new leak gives us a sneak peek at what the standard model will have to offer this year. The new hands-on images, obtained by a Reddit user, appear to be dummy units of the iPhone 16. They show the rear of the phone, with two color options, and the rear camera, which appears to have been redesigned.
Reddit user Kaxeno (u/kaxeno5) posted allegedly iPhone 16 hands-on renders. The images, which appear to be dummy units of the phone, suggest black and white color options for the phone. They show the rear of the phone with a vertically-aligned dual camera unit on the back.
The pill-shaped iPhone X-like camera module is expected to support spatial video recording. The current iPhone 15 has a diagonal camera setup, and spatial video recording is only available on iPhone 15 Pro models. The flash appears to have been ditched from the iPhone 16’s main camera island. It can be seen flush with the back panel to the right of the dual cameras and the module. This new design is consistent with previous leaks.
iPhone 16 specs (expected)
In addition to the white and black hues, the iPhone 16 is expected to launch in blue, green, and pink variants, with Apple reportedly opting for more saturated hues for the device this year. According to previous leaks, the phone will feature a 6.1-inch OLED display and could come with an action button, which is currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models will likely be powered by an A18 Bionic chip based on TSMC’s 3nm process. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are also expected to be powered by an A18 Pro chip.
