The year 2024 will be one of the most powerful years for Apple in a long time. The new Apple Vision Pro, virtual reality glasses, will arrive in the United States from January and will mark the start of a new era for the Big Apple. Adapting all of your devices to be able to port content to visionOS is something we’re working on, like the recent addition of spatial video recording with the iPhone 15 Pro in iOS 17.2. Related to this, The next iPhone 16 could change the layout of its cameras to a vertical position with the aim, among other things, of recording spatial videos like the iPhone 15 Pro.
Hint
Will vertical cameras return to the iPhone 16?
The design of the iPhone hasn’t changed dramatically in a long time. Remember the main change came with the iPhone notch. Over time, this notch has completely disappeared to make way for the Dynamic Island already available in the standard and Pro models of the iPhone 15. Therefore, We see how progressive the changes introduced by Apple are in its two models.
New leak with renders shows what the design of the iPhone 16 could look like which will be released in September 2024. The leak was published by MacRumors and they assure that the information comes from an intermediate link in the pre-production period, so it is likely that the final design may change from the images we let’s show. You.
The main change of the iPhone 16 is the return of vertically arranged rear cameras which disappeared a few years ago with the arrival of the iPhone 13, which was the first device with diagonal cameras. Since then, all standard models have diagonal cameras, unlike the Pro model which with its three cameras only two of them could be vertical.

So far, according to the leak, there are two possibilities regarding the design of this new layout. The first is an iPhone 12-style design with two vertical cameras, one above the other. The other option, more futuristic if possible, is to return to the iPhone 7 Plus or the iPhone
Why change the cameras now?
Arranging the cameras diagonally makes it difficult to record spatial video, which is probably why only the iPhone 15 Pro with its three-camera complex (two of which are vertical) is capable of recording this video. remember that This spatial video is essential for advertising the Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s virtual reality glasses, which allow users to vividly recall a memory recorded with their own device. Return the cameras to vertical position would increase the number of devices with which to capture spatial video and would lay the foundations for a possible expansion of the Apple Vision Pro to the rest of the world.

Beyond the camera change, the iPhone 16 will integrate the new capacitive action button on which he has been working for several years and a new capacitive capture button on the side, which would allow photos and videos to be taken without pressing the volume button or touch button on the operating system to do so.
But as we always say, all this information is still just leaks and hypotheses that could be very far from reality. However, being able to think and predict what will happen with the iPhone 16 is something that will continue to be done with the information available at all times.
