iPhone 16: the vertical camera becomes clearer with new images

Several months before the release of the iPhone 16 series, some rumors are already circulating about the differences that there will be between the next iPhones and the 2023 models. As for the iPhone 16, sources suggest that Apple could adopt a new design for the camera module on the back. On the iPhone 15, the two camera sensors form an oblique line. But on the iPhone 16, these two sensors would forma vertical line, like on the iPhone X.

And today, this is becoming clearer. In a publication on the social network corroborate the rumors which evoke vertical positioning.

And that's not all, since the generally well-informed site MacRumors indicates that it was able to independently “confirm” the authenticity of the component shared by Majin Bu. But, as usual, caution is required, since this information does not come from an official source.

A technical reason

In any case, Apple would have a good reason to return to the vertical alignment of the photo sensors, on the iPhone 16. According to the explanations of MacRumors, this positioning could help Apple to offer the functionalityspace videoon basic models.

As a reminder, this feature was introduced in 2023, with the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.“Once Spatial Video Capture is enabled in Settings, users can leverage the advanced camera system in iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to record their most beautiful moments in three dimensions.”, explained Apple, in 2023. And the most important thing is that these spatial videos can then be viewed in an optimized format on Vision Pro mixed reality headsets.

Otherwise, remember that this year, Apple should mainly focus on generative artificial intelligence. Apple has already confirmed that it is working on this technology and that it will make an announcement related to it this year. And according to rumors, Apple is expected to equip the iPhone 16 series processor with an ultra-powerful NPU (AI component), to improve performance on artificial intelligence-based features. But here too, the information is not yet official and tweezers are therefore in order.
