Recently, computer-aided design (CAD) renders and phone cases have emerged online, providing a sneak peek into the potential appearance of the new iPhones.

    Revealing the Designs

    Now, dummy units, typically utilized by case makers to ensure fit, have also made their way online, offering an early preview of what to expect from the iPhone 16 series.

    Design Alterations

    Images shared by Sonny Dickson on X/Twitter showcase the designs of all four models within the iPhone 16 lineup. Notably, there are evident design modifications compared to the prior iPhone 15 series.

    Notable Changes

    The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are set to undergo significant alterations. The visuals indicate that Apple is transitioning the camera layout of these models to a vertical configuration from the previous diagonal setup, aiming to facilitate spatial video recording for Vision Pro.

    New Features

    Moreover, the inclusion of an Action button, formerly exclusive to Pro iPhone variants, seems to be a standard feature across all iPhone 16 models. Additionally, a new Capture button is visible on the device's right side.

    Speculated Features

    Rumors hint at the button utilizing a mechanical design with a capacitive surface for gesture-based zoom functionalities.

    Size Discrepancies

    The dummy units suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be marginally larger than the base iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Although not definitive, there is speculation that the Pro models might witness a slight expansion in display size, potentially reaching 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches for the Pro and Pro Max, respectively.

Previously, details on the iPhone 16 Pro series case were leaked, and now, information on the cases for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus has also been disclosed. While speculations suggest that the Pro models might feature a unique button for capturing photos, the cases for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models do not exhibit this feature.

    Leaked Design Details of iPhone 16 Series

    The leaked cases for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus showcase a new design element – a pill-shaped dual-camera setup, with the cameras visibly larger compared to previous iPhone iterations. However, it is still premature to delve into specifics about the camera system, given that there is no official confirmation yet regarding the camera specifications.

    Enhanced Video Capabilities Expected

    There are expectations that the spatial video recording feature, currently seen in the Vision Pro and iPhone 15 Pro models, will be extended to the standard iPhone 16 series. Notably, spatial video recording was absent in the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models, being exclusive to the Pro lineup. This indicates Apple’s intent to further enhance the video capabilities of their phones in the upcoming year.

    Insights from the Leaked Cases

    The case images were shared by MacRumors, providing a glimpse into the potential design direction for the iPhone 16 series. However, it’s crucial to note that these cases may not necessarily reflect the final design chosen by Apple. These leaks serve as preliminary insights, and Apple could introduce alterations before the official unveiling of the iPhone 16 series, anticipated in September 2024.

    Earlier in January this year, a sneak peek at Google's Pixel 9 and 9 Pro smartphones was unveiled through leaked renders by reliable tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (Onleaks). However, a recent update reveals a slight twist in the naming scheme. The standard and pro models previously showcased are now set to hit the market as the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, respectively, reviving the XL designation last seen on the Pixel 4 years ago.

    The Rebranding: Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL

    This rebranding has raised speculation regarding the existence of a standard Pixel 9. Recent leaks indeed confirm the presence of the standard model in the lineup.

Noteworthy is the rear panel housing a prominent pill-shaped camera setup that differs from its predecessors by not extending to the corners.

    The Pixel 9 boasts a centered punch-hole cutout display encircled by symmetrical bezels on all sides. A key disparity between the standard and pro iterations lies in the former's marginally smaller 6.03-inch screen size compared to the 6.1 inches on the latter. Additionally, the standard model will sport a dual-camera setup and miss out on a periscope lens present in the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL.
