The iPhone 16 has undergone several iterations over the years, and it has been suggested that there will be some fundamental changes to the button and camera layout.
According to information obtained by MacRumors, next year's iPhone 16 may have some interesting button and camera design developments. On the website, Apple claims to have obtained details of an early prototype design for its 2024 smartphone, and there are some interesting changes.
Mockups of the three devices (yellow, pink, and black) said to be under test show phones with vertically arranged camera modules, one of which is attached to the iPhone X module. Quite similar. This makes sense given that Apple has recently been pushing spatial video capture with the iPhone 15 Pro, but he needs two aligned cameras to work.
One of the designs also shows new integrated volume buttons instead of the separate up and down buttons that currently exist. It is claimed that this was supposed to be a solid-state button that provided haptic feedback, but that idea was scrapped.
All three prototypes also have an action button, a feature we expect to see starting with the iPhone 15 Pro. It has been suggested that next year's model may switch to a capacitive type.
What's interesting is that the black model (which is said to be the most likely to make it to production) will feature a larger action button than what was seen on the iPhone 15 Pro and the other two prototypes, as well as an additional capture button. is attached.
I've heard of the latter before. This is said to be a pressure-sensitive capacitive control located on the far right below the power button, roughly in the same position as his 5G mmWave cutout on his iPhone model in the US.
Apple always runs prototypes of its devices prior to production, so there's no guarantee that the final iPhone 16 product will look exactly like any of these designs. However, the final product is likely to make significant use of these plans.
