Apple made waves when it launched the iPhone 11 Pro series with a triple rear camera setup that many compared to a fidget spinner, stove, and even an electric razor.

New iPhone 16 Pro design rumour

As per tipster Majin Bu, the iPhone 16 Pro could bring a triangular-shaped camera setup. Well, the triangle would be present inside a squircle, which we have come to liken to an inherently iPhone design. As mentioned already, we saw this first on the iPhone 11 series and over the years, other companies have also adopted a squircle camera panel. Of course, every phone and brand has its design variations.

Breaking news, I had the opportunity to consult different resources and both claim that there will be a change in the design of the new iPhone 16 Pro. It is said that the design will not resemble a fidget spinner as I reported, but will be more similar to a razor, they also sayâ€¦ pic.twitter.com/7DTj7CJYdG

If the rumour is true, then the triangular frame could be Apple’s new design tweak for the upcoming iPhones. However, as per Mr Bu, this won’t be a diversion just for the sake of it. He claims this would be to accommodate more cameras in the future.

The tipster ends the tweet by stating this is still not verified news. So, we should ideally see it through a speculative lens.
