Thanks to leaks from various third-party cases and a set of machined blanks, we've already caught glimpses of the design for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. Now, we're treated to clear images of four production models and the fresh color options for this year's iPhone lineup.
Longtime Apple insider Sonny Dickson shared these new images, providing us with a detailed look at the rear of the upcoming iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The distinct camera lens setups for the Pro and Vanilla models are evident. All four variants now boast a vertical alignment of two lenses, optimized to facilitate the capturing of spatial videos compatible with Apple Vision Pro's 3D playback feature. The 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max also sport a third periscope-style telephoto lens, neatly integrated into the camera module of the pricier models.
Notably, we don't get a glimpse of the new Capture Button set to debut on all models this year. This capacitive button is expected to serve as both a focus and shutter button within the camera app, complementing last year's user-definable Action Button featured on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. It's worth noting the faint presence of the Action Button above the volume keys on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Additionally, three out of the seven available colors are showcased: the classic black (often labeled as space grey by Apple), along with two pastel hues of pink and violet. While the current iPhone 15 lineup offers black, blue, green, pink, and yellow, violet will be introduced as a new option. White will also join the lineup, bringing the total color options to seven.
As leaks surrounding the iPhone 16 family persist, we gain more insights into Apple's next-gen smartphone. From new UI buttons to enhanced camera features and the AI-powered Apple Silicon chipset, ample information is available to envision the upcoming handset. Prolific animator 4RMD has crafted a concept video offering a unique glimpse into what an iPhone 16 promotional trailer might look like. Utilizing available information and educated guesses, a digital model of the iPhone 16 is showcased, highlighting expected colors, the redesigned form factor seen in blanks and third-party cases, and crucial camera enhancements.
