New CAD renders of the iPhone 16 Pro offer a fresh glimpse at the upcoming phone’s design, suggesting a familiar look with a few key changes. While some leaks had hinted at a more drastic redesign, these renders, obtained by 91Mobiles, point towards a more iterative approach.

iPhone 16 Pro CAD Renders Leak

The front of the iPhone 16 Pro appears to retain the Dynamic Island introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro. While this sketch depicts a two-island notch for clarity, the final design might resemble the previous version. The back features a camera bump design consistent with previous iPhones, potentially debunking leaks suggesting a more radical camera layout.

The most intriguing additions come in the form of new buttons. The renders showcase a rumored “Capture Button” located on the left side, potentially replacing the mmWave antenna housing. This button could act as a dedicated camera button, allowing for quick photo and video capture, or offer additional functionality like zoom control. Another possibility is it will act as an AI button, reflecting Apple’s growing focus on artificial intelligence.

While the “Capture Button” seems like a reliable addition based on reports from 91mobiles and MacRumors, there’s some discrepancy regarding the Action Button introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro. Some leaks suggest a slightly larger Action Button, while others claim Apple scrapped this idea in favor of keeping the same design.

Beyond buttons, the leaks suggest a slight increase in display size for both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, going from 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively. This aligns with expectations of thinner bezels for a more immersive viewing experience.

The camera system could also see some notable upgrades. The iPhone 16 Pro might borrow the 5X telephoto lens from its bigger sibling, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, offering improved zooming capabilities. Additionally, leaks suggest a 48MP ultra-wide sensor exclusive to the Pro models.

While the design may not be a radical departure, the iPhone 16 Pro appears to offer some interesting refinements. The new buttons, particularly the “Capture Button,” could introduce welcome improvements for photographers and videographers. With a larger display and potentially powerful camera upgrades, the iPhone 16 Pro seems poised to be an iterative but worthy successor.

It’s important to remember that these are leaks, and Apple‘s final design could differ. However, they do provide a compelling look at what to expect from the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro. Earlier this month, 91Mobiles also revealed the CAD renders of the iPhone SE 4 which shows iPhone 14-like design.
