Sonny Dickson on X, recently shared images of what are purportedly cases for the upcoming iPhone 16, sparking anticipation for Apple's fall release. These leaked cases hint at a return to a design reminiscent of the iPhone X/Xs, albeit with a larger camera module cutout, potentially signaling a significant upgrade in camera technology.

Rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 suggest a shift to a vertically aligned camera module, a departure from previous iterations, aimed at accommodating Spatial Video recording capabilities for a broader user base. This feature, introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro models, enables users to capture immersive 3D videos, enhancing the viewing experience on Apple Vision Pro.


Interestingly, this move would bring the standard iPhone lineup in line with the technology previously exclusive to Pro models, potentially refreshing the overall look and feel of older iPhones compared to recent releases like the iPhone 15.



In addition to camera enhancements, speculation abounds regarding new button functionalities for the iPhone 16. Reports suggest the introduction of Action and Capture buttons, offering users more control over device actions and camera functionalities. While the specifics of these buttons remain unclear, they represent a potential expansion of features across all iPhone models, promising an enhanced user experience.
