Apple‘s upcoming iPhone 16 series is set to mark a notable shift in design and features, diverging from its predecessors with a fresh approach to its camera alignment and model lineup.
The latest leak from Majin Bu reveals a transition from the traditional horizontal camera setup to a more streamlined vertical alignment. This adjustment not only offers a sleek, minimalist aesthetic but also aligns the iPhone 16 series closer to the design sensibilities of contemporary Android devices.
Potential Design of iPhone 16 Models
According to the leak, the iPhone 16 series is expected to introduce five distinct models, broadening its range to cater to various market segments. The lineup includes the iPhone 16 SE, 16 Plus SE, iPhone 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max. This expansion suggests a strategic merge of the iPhone SE product line into the broader iPhone 16 portfolio, hinting at Apple’s intention to offer more options to consumers at different price points.
The entry-level iPhone 16 SE and 16 Plus SE are anticipated to feature a dynamic island, a single camera setup, a 60Hz display, and a slightly reduced battery capacity. These models are poised to capture the budget-conscious segment.
Moving up the range, the standard iPhone 16 model is rumored to enhance the user experience with a 120Hz display, dual-camera system, and improved battery life, positioning it as an attractive option for the mid-range market.
At the top of the series, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models are expected to incorporate premium features, setting new benchmarks for performance and innovation in Apple’s smartphone offerings. Moreover, all the models (except SE models) are expected to come with larger batteries this time.
Apple has maintained the same iPhone design for several years without any significant refresh, dissatisfaction among consumers regarding this stagnation was evident during last year’s launch. With global sales soaring, Apple likely perceives now as an opportune moment to unveil a new design, anticipating that this move will not only meet consumer expectations but also drive further revenue growth.
The leakster also mentioned an iPhone model in testing, with a style similar to the iPhone XR, including a dynamic island and a color scheme similar to the iPhone 15. According to him, he first thought it was iPhone SE but now he is not sure about it.
