There is speculation that Apple will alter the design of its base iPhone 16, with the back cameras going from a diagonal configuration to a vertical one, as last seen on the iPhone 12 in 2020. A new series of renders and design schematics have emerged online, depicting a pill-shaped camera island containing two sensors on the back with the LED flash on the side. Renders from @MajinBuOfficial x @upintheozone showcases the iPhone 16 in blue.

Another render from Apple Hub provides a look at several more color options and compares the iPhone 16 Pro, which is expected to have the same basic design as the iPhone 15 Pro. Based on rumors, the redesigned camera location on the iPhone 16 is supposedly to enable the device to record spatial video for playback on Apple Vision Pro.
