Subj : The iPhone 16 will reportedly steal a key design feature from the To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Tue May 23 2023 11:15:03 The iPhone 16 will reportedly steal a key design feature from the iPhone 12 Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 10:04:03 +0000 Description: The iPhone 16 will reportedly feature a vertically-arranged camera setup akin to the iPhone 12. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Apple is expected to debut its iPhone 15 line in September, but that hasnt stopped leakers from speculating about next years iPhone 16 series. Weve already reported on rumors hinting that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max could be the biggest iPhones yet , and new CAD images obtained by 9to5Mac corroborate that suggestion. Now, though, were also hearing that the base iPhone 16 could borrow a key design feature from the iPhone 12 line. According to Twitter leaker @URedditor , the iPhone 16 will sport a vertical camera layout, rather than the diagonal setup used on every iPhone since the iPhone 13 . This will make the device instantly recognizable as the latest model in 2024, @URedditor writes. The base model iPhone 16 will have a vertical camera layout, as opposed to diagonal on iPhone 15. This will make the device instantly recognizable as the latest model.Currently, an iPhone 12-style design is in testing, though there is another design as well, same layout.

Of course, this wouldnt be the first time Apple has looked to its own product history for design inspiration. The company had seemingly abandoned the iPhone 4 s straight-sided aesthetic with the iPhone 6 , before returning to it with the iPhone 12 . The iPhone 15, meanwhile, will reportedly be reminiscent of the iPhone 11 by having slightly curved edges (see the images below).

The latter uses two 12MP main shooters, and although the iPhone 14 likewise employs that now-outdated setup, the aforementioned 48MP main lens expected to arrive on the iPhone 15 will surely make its way to the iPhone 16, too. As for what other features the iPhone 16 could introduce, were expecting the phone or its Pro-level siblings, at least to sport solid-state (i.e. haptic) volume and power buttons. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra were widely rumored to get solid-state buttons , but Apple analysts recently poured water on those claims , adding that the feature is more likely to arrive with the iPhone 16 line owing to its technological complexity. In addition to solid-state power buttons, the iPhone 16 Pro will reportedly get a periscope lens and a larger display, too, which has pretty much killed our excitement for the iPhone 15 Pro . In other words, the iPhone 16 Pro could be a smaller (and potentially cheaper) version of the much-rumored iPhone 15 Ultra , which is expected to arrive this year in place of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Well have to wait until September for confirmation of that phones existence, though, so stay tuned to TechRadar for the latest news on what is likely to be this years hottest smartphone launch. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://www.techradar.com/news/the-iphone-16-will-reportedly-steal-a-key-desig n-feature-from-the-iphone-12 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet Technology News (1337:1/100) .
