As the new iPhone 15 series is getting ready to be introduced next September, news about the iPhone 16 has started to come. The series, which will be released after a year and a half, came to the fore today with the news of a design change.
According to the claim shared by “@URedditor” on Twitter, the base model of the iPhone 16 series will bring back the camera placement that Apple left behind in the iPhone 12.
The cameras will not be diagonally, but aligned, one under the other:
The Twitter user shared that the iPhone 16 will have cameras aligned on the vertical axis. Apple last used this design on the iPhone X, 11 and 12 models. With the iPhone 13, the camera layout was switched to cross layout.
According to the user, the new layout preference is still in the testing phase. In addition, Apple continues to test the existing layout against this layout. There is no information on why the design change was needed.
There was also a reason why Apple switched to cross-docking:
When Apple presented the new layout with the iPhone 13, it also shared the reason for this change. The company shared that the cameras work better together and get better results in cross-layout.
