Dummy models for the iPhone 16 series have surfaced, revealing the new design: Before the official unveiling of new iPhones each year, dummy models often give us a sneak peek. Images purported to be of the iPhone 16 series have been shared, showcasing design details discussed so far about the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro, such as a new camera arrangement, larger displays, and a Capture button. These visuals provide a glimpse into the potential design of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Pro models to feature larger sizes: Sources suggest that this year's iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will have larger screen sizes, while the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to maintain the sizes of the previous generation. The dummy images display the size difference between the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro, with the iPhone 16 Pro rumored to have a 6.3-inch screen and the iPhone 16 Pro Max a 6.9-inch screen, compared to the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, respectively.
New button and camera layout: Rumors of the iPhone 16 series featuring a new capture button are supported by the dummy images, showing the layout of the buttons on the new iPhones. Apple plans to replace the mute button on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus with an Action button, previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro models, which appears to be larger according to the visuals.
The iPhone 16 dummy model reveals a redesigned rear camera layout with a pill-shaped protrusion housing both the wide and ultra-wide cameras for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. The microphone is located next to the lenses, while the camera flash is positioned outside the protrusion on the back of the phone. Moreover, all four iPhone 16 models are expected to feature a completely new button for capturing photos and videos. Named the Capture button, it is situated on the same side as the iPhone's power button and is nearly flush with the iPhone 16 casing. However, it is said to be mechanical, responding to pressure and touch. With this new button, Apple aims to highlight the iPhone 16 series.
Apple has not yet announced the promotional event for the iPhone 16 series. However, Apple recently shared the date for the WWDC 2024 event, where the innovations of the iOS 18 operating system, expected to feature on the iPhone 16, will be unveiled.
