Leak Reveals iPhone 16 Camera Module with Vertical Rear Camera Arrangement

New Delhi: Rumors and leaks surrounding Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 16 series suggest that the devices may sport a redesigned rear camera configuration. An anonymous tipster has shared details indicating that the iPhone 16 could introduce a vertically oriented camera layout, a departure from the horizontal arrangement utilized since the iPhone 12. Additionally, speculation suggests that the iPhone 16 lineup will consist of five models, with a purported “Plus SE” variant poised to replace the 6.7-inch Plus model from the previous generation.

To further support these claims, an image circulated on social media by an individual known as X (formerly Twitter) user Majin Bu showcases what is purportedly the camera module of the iPhone 16. This leak aligns with earlier reports speculating a vertical camera orientation for the device. The credibility of this information has been bolstered by MacRumors, which claims to have independently confirmed the authenticity of the camera module, designated as the I-34 camera project component, through sources within the industry.

Furthermore, the same X user recently shared purported renderings of the iPhone 16 series, suggesting that Apple may introduce five distinct models this year. These rumored models include the iPhone 16 SE, iPhone 16 Plus SE, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to these alleged renders, the iPhone SE variants will house a single rear camera, while the standard iPhone 16 model will sport a dual-camera setup arranged vertically. The higher-end iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models purportedly feature a triple rear camera module arranged in a vertical orientation. However, it is important to exercise caution when assessing the veracity of these claims, as the X user has provided no information regarding the image’s source.

In addition to potential camera layout alterations, Apple is rumored to equip all models of the iPhone 16 series with an Action Button, a feature initially introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro models. Moreover, a dedicated Capture button is said to be included, offering users quick access to the camera function. These enhancements aim to streamline the user experience and augment the devices’ photography capabilities.

Additional information regarding Apple’s 2024 iPhone models is expected to emerge in the following months, shedding further light on the company’s plans and offerings.
