Highlights Pill-shaped camera bump inspired by iPhone X introduced in iPhone 16 prototypes. Vertical camera setup with dedicated rings for Wide and Ultrawide lenses. Enhanced functionality with potential for Spatial Video recording in base models. Subtle design adjustments include a smaller Action Button. Apple is currently in the process of finalising the design for this year’s iPhone 16 models. The latest buzz from the tech giant's labs reveals a significant shift towards a new camera design that might just set the trend for future smartphones. Drawing inspiration from the iconic iPhone X, Apple's newest prototype might be introducing a new aesthetic coupled that will deviate from the company’s . Reviving the Pill-Shaped Camera Bump Reviving the Pill-Shaped Camera Bump As per Macrumors, and corroborated by tipster Majin Bu the centerpiece of the latest iPhone 16 prototype is undoubtedly its pill-shaped camera bump, a nod to the design philosophy behind the iPhone X. This prototype distinguishes itself by featuring two distinct camera rings dedicated to the Wide and Ultrawide cameras, subtly incorporating elements from previous designs. The continuity in the vertical arrangement of the camera system, alongside the unchanged positioning of the flash and camera lenses is possibly what we can expect from the base iPhones this year. Pill-shaped camera bump inspired by iPhone X introduced in iPhone 16 prototypes Clearly, the design is there to differentiate the device's visual appeal but there is also an indication of functional enhancements, particularly the potential inclusion of Spatial Video recording capabilities in the base iPhone 16 models. As the Vision Pro reaches more and more hands, the ability to take record in this new spatial video format, is what Apple is banking on to get the sales of the former to shoot up. Design Tweaks and Functional Upgrades Design Tweaks and Functional Upgrades Beyond the camera, Apple has not shied away from refining other elements of the iPhone 16. Recent prototypes showcase subtle yet significant adjustments to the Action Button and Capture Button. The Action Button has been downsized to resemble the one found on the iPhone 15 Pro, suggesting a preference for uniformity across models. iPhone 16 Prototype Reveals New Camera Design More intriguing, however, is the introduction of a pressure-sensitive Capture Button, designed to sit flush with the device's frame. Although more in the realm of speculation this dedicated Capture button might be the most important change of all. These changes, while primarily cosmetic, hint at Apple's broader vision for the iPhone 16 series: a blend of aesthetic appeal and functional innovation. iPhone 16 Functional Upgrades Apple iPhone 16 Specs GENERAL Sim Type Dual Sim, GSM+GSM Dual Sim Yes Sim Size Nano + eSIM Device Type Smartphone Release Date September 07, 2024 (Expected) DISPLAY Type Color OLED Screen (1B Colors) Touch Yes Size 6.12 inches, 1200 x 2600 pixels, 120 Hz Aspect Ratio 20:9 PPI ~ 447 PPI Features Super Retina XDR Display, HDR Display, True Tone, Wide Color (P3), Haptic Touch, 1200 Nits Max Brightness (HDR), Support for Display of Multiple Languages and Characters Simultaneously Notch Yes, Small Notch MEMORY RAM 8 GB Storage 128 GB Card Slot No CONNECTIVITY GPRS Yes EDGE Yes 3G Yes 4G Yes 5G Yes 5G Bands 5G NR (Bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n26, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n53, n66, n70, n77, n78, n79) VoLTE Yes Wifi Yes, with wifi-hotspot Wifi Version Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth Yes, v5.4, A2DP, LE USB Yes, Lightning Port USB Features USB on-the-go, USB Charging EXTRA GPS yes with A-GPS, Glonass Fingerprint Sensor No Face Unlock Yes Sensors Barometer, Three‑axis Gyro, Accelerometer, Proximity Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor 3.5mm Headphone Jack Lightning NFC Yes Water Resistance Yes, 6 m upto 30 min IP Rating IP69 Dust Resistant Yes Extra Features Satellite Connectivity, Crash Detection CAMERA Rear Camera 48 MP f/1.5 (Main) 12 MP f/2.4 (Ultra Wide) with autofocus Features Panorama, Night Mode, Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles, Burst Mode, Photo Geotagging Video Recording 4K @ 24/25/30/60 fps UHD, 1080p @ 25/30/60 fps FHD Flash Yes, Dual LED Front Camera 12 MP f/1.9 (TrueDepth) with Retina Flash Front Video Recording 4K @ 60 fps UHD, 1080p @ 60 fps FHD TECHNICAL OS iOS v18 Chipset Apple Bionic A17 CPU Octa Core Processor GPU Apple 4 Core GPU Java No Browser Yes MULTIMEDIA Email Yes Music AAC‑LC, HE‑AAC, HE‑AAC v2, Protected AAC, MP3, Linear PCM, Apple Lossless, FLAC, Dolby Digital (AC‑3), Dolby Digital Plus (E‑AC‑3), Dolby Atmos and Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX and AAX+) Video HEVC, H.264, MPEG‑4 Part 2 and Motion JPEG, HDR with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG FM Radio No Document Reader Yes BATTERY Type Non-Removable Battery Size 3500 mAh, Li-ion Battery Fast Charging Yes Wireless Charging Yes, 25W MagSafe Music Playback Time 100 hours FAQs What new camera design is Apple introducing in the iPhone 16? The iPhone 16 is expected to feature a pill-shaped camera bump with a vertical arrangement for its Wide and Ultrawide cameras, taking inspiration from the design philosophy of the iPhone X. How does the iPhone 16's camera design differ from previous models? Unlike the broader square bumps of past models, the iPhone 16 aims to differentiate with a sleek, pill-shaped bump that focuses on enhancing both aesthetic appeal and camera functionality. Will the iPhone 16 support Spatial Video recording? Indications suggest that Apple plans to introduce Spatial Video recording capabilities in the iPhone 16 base models, expanding the immersive video experience to a wider audience. Are there any changes to the iPhone 16's Action and Capture Buttons? The latest prototypes show a downsized Action Button akin to the iPhone 15 Pro and a new pressure-sensitive Capture Button, aiming for a more uniform and intuitive user interface. What are the key design changes in the latest iPhone 16 Pro prototype? The latest “Proto2” prototype of the iPhone 16 Pro shows a design shift, adopting a smaller Action button akin to that of the iPhone 15 Pro. This contrasts with earlier prototypes that experimented with different sizes and placements for the Action button. How did the iPhone 16 Pro’s Action button design evolve from initial prototypes? Early prototypes of the iPhone 16 Pro included a unified volume button and a smaller multi-purpose Action button. This design was part of the discontinued Project Bongo, which initially aimed to bring haptic buttons to the iPhone 15 Pro. What was the purpose of Apple’s Project Bongo and how did it influence the iPhone 16 Pro’s design? Project Bongo was an attempt to introduce haptic buttons to the iPhone 15 Pro. Although the project was canceled, its design elements, particularly the unified volume button, influenced early versions of the iPhone 16 Pro. What does the “Proto2” prototype indicate about the future of the iPhone 16 Pro’s design? The “Proto2” prototype suggests that Apple may be moving away from the idea of a capacitive Action button, as it features a smaller, more traditional Action button similar to the iPhone 15 Pro.
