A few weeks ago, a rumor emerged indicating that Apple was going to change the design of the back of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, particularly its camera module. And now a le ak from some Alleged iPhone 16 cases confirm this peculiar new design
Some iPhone 16 Pro cases had already leaked, confirming certain rumors and it is now the iPhone 16 cases which confirm the design change. In these cases we see that the camera module is no longer square like the iPhone 11 was and is now oval and vertical. like we had on the iPhone.

iPhone 16 vertical cameras confirmed
We are facing a significant change that This will significantly differentiate the normal iPhone range from the Pro range. Until now, we always had a square module, with two or three cameras. And that will change starting with iPhone 16, and for good reason.
Apple introduced a important novelty in the camera system of the iPhone 15 Pro which may go unnoticed but is essential to be able to record spatial videos for the Apple Vision Pro. the ultra wide angle camera is no longer located just below the main camerasomething needed for this function.
On the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the camera is diagonal, which does not allow recording spatial videos because These cameras must be aligned horizontally when recording, as if it were two eyes. This is what motivated Apple to change the distribution of cameras in the iPhone 16 and this is why its camera module will also be changed.
As we can see from the leaked cases, the camera module will be quite large, so we will have two large cameras, the main sensor should maintain a resolution of 48 megapixels. Furthermore the flash will be located outside the camera moduleas we see an additional hole just to the right.
We already know a lot about the iPhone 16, all models will use the A18 Bionic chip to have exclusive and more powerful artificial intelligence functions, as well as battery capacity and we even bought the iPhone 16 with the ‘iPhone 15 to see all the differences that We will find ourselves when Apple presents its new iPhones in September.
