iPhone 16 and 16 Pro: first cases already announced, clues on their design? (Pictures)

In recent days, iPhone accessory manufacturers have been in the starting blocks. Some of them have even taken the lead by already announcingtheir first cases for the new iPhones.

But if it seems difficult to know if they have exclusive information about the design of the next machines or if, like us, they are basing themselves on rumors and analysis predictions, it remains interesting to see what might look like these protections. Just to get a first glimpse of the potential design of the expected iPhones.

iPhone 16: vertical camera

On the one hand, we have for example the Noreve brand, which has just revealed the first cases for iPhone 16. And in the images, at first glance, the design of the beast seems similar to that of the iPhone 15. However, by inspecting the rear, we can notice a change in size: the 2-sensor camera is notmore arranged in a square with blunt edges(like on iPhone 15), but in a setlying vertically, with the flash light offset to the right.

It is impossible to know more, however, about the presence or not of the Action button, since the latter normally replaces the physical silent mode switch. But in any case you have what appears to be an iPhone 16.

iPhone 16 Pro: a new button?

For iPhone 16 Pro, go tothis online storefor newly launched iPhone 16 Pro Max cases, with no verifiable history. The information should therefore be taken with caution, even more so than with Noreve. In any case, we see protections for iPhone 16 Pro Max of all types, with tripod, MagSafe compatibility, transparent, etc. All including a notable and revealing feature of the design of the machine:the location of a special button on the bottom of the same edge as the Power button.

It would be, you may have guessed, a new physical button, nicknamed until nowCapture. We don't yet really know what it could be used for, perhaps it would be dedicated to photo and video functions.

Remember that case manufacturers do not necessarily have more information about the design of the next iPhones. They can play the risk in order to be first to market by offering products or posting announcements based on rumors only. Once again, caution is advised with these images.

We won't be sure of anything untilMonday September 9, the day of Apple's Keynote during which Tim Cook told uswill say more about its new smartphones.
