As per MacRumors, Apple is testing iPhone 16 prototypes with a rear camera arrangement like that of an iPhone 11 or 12. So, from diagonal placement, Apple could be moving back to the vertical layout of the dual rear cameras on this phone. This could be a design cue for prospective buyers to discern the new iPhone.
If Apple designers decide to take things even back, the iPhone 16 could look like an iPhone X. That would make it really distinct but somewhat dated. Meanwhile, the position of the flash is expected to remain the same.
Speaking of the same, the volume rockers could also appear as two mechanical buttons on the left side, unlike the unified volume button on earlier prototypes. This was being tested as part of the now-cancelled Bongo project within Apple.
On the other side, there could be an Action Button on all the iPhone 16 models this time around. It is said to be capacitive and different sizes are being tested.
Beneath it, we could get a new capacitive button called Capture Button. For it, Apple has reportedly moved the mmWave antennas to the left side. Not all prototypes have this button though which suggests it could be ditched if Apple faces some hiccups in testing. Also, we don't exactly know its purpose yet.
That's about everything new we gather from these prototypes. The iPhone 16, codenamed DeLorean, could continue improvements from the iPhone 15 like the Dynamic Island, and USB-C port. It could come in colours like midnight, pink, and yellow. The new iPhone could also get the colours that were developed for the iPhone 15 but didn't make the final cut.
