The iPhone 16 series is set to launch in September, but tipsters are already making predictions about its design ahead of the official announcement. Unlike the iPhone 13 to iPhone 15, which saw minimal design changes, the iPhone 16 is expected to feature some notable changes. According to recent leaks, the vanilla iPhone 16 will feature two vertically aligned cameras, reminiscent of the iPhone X and iPhone 11. However, the new model will reportedly have these cameras in a capsule-shaped camera island, offering a new look. These images leaked by a reliable tipster indicate significant design changes. Nonetheless, we will have to wait for the official launch to confirm the accuracy of these predictions.

Recently, dummy units of the iPhone 16 were posted on X, showing the device in five different colours. These colours include white, black, blue, green, and pink. Interestingly, the green shade is a new, dark colour for the iPhone lineup, while the blue variant brings back memories of the iPhone 5c. These dummy units are believed to represent the vanilla iPhone 16, but the ‘Plus’ model is also expected to be available in these colours.

A notable design change is the return of the vertical camera setup reminiscent of the iPhone X. The iPhone 16 will feature a dual-camera system at the back. This setup includes a primary and an ultra-wide sensor. This design tweak reportedly supports spatial video recording, a feature present in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The vertical alignment of the cameras is said to make this advanced recording capability possible on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
Despite these changes, the iPhone 16 retains the flat edges seen on the iPhone 15 series. Although the front design of the phone has not been revealed, it is likely to feature a Dynamic Island Display, a popular feature of recent models.

In terms of colour options, while the dummy units show five colours, there are rumours that the iPhone 16 Plus could come in additional colours, including blue, pink, yellow, green, black, white, and purple. This would give consumers a wide range of choices.

Overall, these leaked dummy units show that Apple is making some interesting design changes and adding new features to the iPhone 16, while still retaining some elements from the previous model. The official launch will confirm these details, but the leak has certainly created excitement among Apple fans.
