The first official image of the upcoming iPhone 16 has surfaced on Reddit, providing Apple enthusiasts with an early glimpse of the next version of the iconic smartphone. With the iPhone 16 series expected to launch in less than a month, the leak has created quite a buzz, giving fans a glimpse of what Apple might have in store.

The leaked image has been shared by a Reddit user named Kaxeno (u/kaxeno5). According to the post, the image appears to be of a dummy unit, showing the iPhone 16 in two colour options: black and white. The design of the back panel of the phone shows some interesting changes, especially in the camera department. Unlike the iPhone 15, which has a diagonal camera setup, the iPhone 16 is seen with a vertically aligned dual rear camera system. The pill-shaped camera module is reminiscent of the iPhone X, but comes with a significant upgrade – it is expected to support spatial video recording. The feature is currently only available on the Pro models of the iPhone 15 series, which hints that Apple may bring some high-end capabilities to its standard models.

One notable change in the design is the re-positioning of the flash. In the iPhone 16, the flash has been moved from the main camera island to the right side of the rear panel, sitting flush with the surface. This subtle change in design matches previous leaks and suggests that Apple is focusing on refining the aesthetics of its new devices.

In addition to the black and white color options seen in the leak, the iPhone 16 is rumored to be available in several other colors, including blue, green, and pink. Apple is reportedly opting for more saturated colors this year, possibly to appeal to a wider audience.

Talking about the specifications, the iPhone 16 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, which offers vibrant colours and deep contrast. There is also speculation that the phone may include an action button, which is currently an exclusive feature to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This button could provide users with quick access to various functions, enhancing the overall user experience.

Under the hood, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are likely to be powered by the A18 Bionic chip built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process, which promises significant improvements in performance and efficiency. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are expected to run on the more powerful A18 Pro chip, serving users seeking top-tier performance.
