Will iPhone 16 go back to its roots? Leak hints at vertical camera return

New Delhi : Reports suggest that Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 series may feature a redesigned rear camera layout. Leaked images and information indicate a possible return to a vertical camera arrangement for the first time since the iPhone 12. Additionally, rumors suggest a five-model lineup, potentially including an "iPhone 16 Plus SE" with a single rear camera.

An image shared by an X user (formerly Twitter) seems to support claims of a vertical camera layout. Industry sources reportedly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked camera module component. Further images purporting to be renders of the iPhone 16 series depict possible model variations, including the SE, Plus SE, standard iPhone 16, and Pro and Pro Max versions. These renders show single, dual, and triple rear camera arrangements depending on the model. However, the source of these images remains unknown, urging caution regarding their accuracy.

Beyond camera layout changes, speculation points towards all iPhone 16 models incorporating an Action Button (introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro) and a dedicated Capture button for quick camera access.

It is important to remember that Apple's rumored iPhone 16 launch is still months away. Details regarding the purported "Plus SE" model, its potential price point, and the accuracy of leaked information remain unclear. Further details about these devices are likely to emerge in the coming months.
