The forthcoming iPhone 16 lineup from Apple is generating a strange buzz, with leaks providing insights into the design and features of the upcoming handsets.
A few months from now, we're about to see what it looks like in the flesh, but before that, let's take a look at its leaked mockup on X.
Revealing iPhone 16 Dummy Units
Leaked images, courtesy of renowned leaker Majin Bu via iMore, showcase dummy units of all four anticipated iPhone 16 models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These units offer a glimpse into the potential design of the upcoming devices.
Based on the provided photo of the upcoming handset, the noticeable change is the redesigned camera block on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models, featuring vertically arranged lenses as opposed to the diagonal arrangement seen in previous iterations. This alteration is rumored to facilitate spatial video capture, enhancing the viewing experience on the Apple Vision Pro.
Introduction of the Capture Button
Among the revealed details is the presence of a new button, dubbed the Capture button, situated beneath the power key on one of the dummy units.
As TechRadar reports, this button is speculated to enable users to swiftly capture photos and record videos. While visible on only one unit in the leaked photo, reports suggest it will be a standard inclusion across all iPhone 16 models.
While leaks should be approached with caution, the consistency of these details across multiple sources lends credibility to the purported designs. Although there may be slight discrepancies, the overall design seems to align with the leaked information thus far.
Beyond design, several leaks tackled the expected specifications and features of the iPhone 16 lineup. Anticipated highlights include larger screens, 48MP ultra-wide cameras for the Pro models, the introduction of an Action button across all variants, the incorporation of the new A18 Pro chipset, and slightly larger batteries for most models.
Despite the wealth of leaked information, some questions linger, such as the inclusion of a "super-telephoto" camera in the iPhone 16 Pro Max and pricing details.
With several months until the official launch, there's a possibility that additional details, including pricing and camera specifications, will surface through further leaks.
In another report by Wccftech, the previous leak about the iPhone 16 Pro storage reeks speculation.
The Apple leaker, who goes by the name "LeaksApplePro" has a history of faking leaks in the past. Apart from that, there's no basis that strongly backs up the claim that the Cupertino giant "could" raise the current base storage to 256GB.
In short, the account where the information came from is not really a reliable source.
