Apple is anticipated to unveil the iPhone 16 series in September this year. Nonetheless, a leaked real-life photo of the base model has already disclosed the available color choices and confirmed the rumored redesign of the camera island. You can view the image below.
iPhone 16 to Feature a White Color Option Instead of Yellow
From the image, it is clear that the iPhone 16 will come in five different color options – White, Black, Blue, Green, and Pink. For comparison, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were available in Yellow instead of White.
Beyond the color options, the back design exhibits notable changes compared to its predecessor, primarily due to the rearranged camera layout. This redesign is aimed at enhancing the camera system’s functionality rather than just providing a refreshed look.
iPhone 16 Expected to Support Spatial Video
As you may already know, last year’s Pro models could record Spatial Video thanks to the realignment of the ultrawide and telephoto lenses. By positioning the ultrawide and the main cameras vertically, the phone can capture Spatial Video. Last year's non-Pro models featured a diagonal arrangement for the ultrawide and main cameras, which is incompatible with the video feature.
The company has finally modified the camera arrangement for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus to support this feature.
Regarding camera resolution, the main camera is expected to be 48MP, and the ultrawide camera will also be 48MP (1/2.6″). For context, last year's non-Pro models were equipped with 12MP sensors for the ultrawide camera. While the main camera will retain the same resolution, it will reportedly use a larger 1/1.14″ sensor (Sony IMX903) compared to the 1/1.56″ sensor of its predecessors. The rumored 1/1.14″ sensor is even larger than the iPhone 15 Pro’s 1/1.28″ main sensor. Nevertheless, this information is still speculative, so take it with a grain of salt.
