The iPhone 16 series is still in the early stages, but MacRumors has provided insights into the potential design of the standard iPhone 16, internally referred to as “DeLorean.” Early pre-production renders showcase experimentation with the back design and button placement. One design iteration takes inspiration from the iPhone X, featuring a vertical pill-shaped camera housing accommodating dual lenses. As Apple explores various prototypes, it sparks anticipation for innovative design elements in the next iPhone iteration.
Apple Could Phase Out The Mute Switch with iPhone 16
The Action button, a feature from the iPhone 15 Pro, is making an early appearance in the iPhone 16 series. This suggests Apple’s decision to gradually phase out the mute switch in favor of standardizing the Action button across the entire iPhone 16 lineup.
Different prototypes showcase variations in the size of the Action Button. With some designs featuring a significantly larger capacitive Action Button, a change was introduced as part of Project Atlas. The transition towards capacitive technology aligns with Apple’s ongoing efforts to enhance user experience in the upcoming iPhone iteration.
Apple iPhone 16 May Have a Shutter Button
In the black model, a capacitive Capture Button is introduced, positioned below the power button. Internally referred to as “Project Nova,” this button, as per earlier rumors, is designed to provide force touch feedback. Its primary function is to serve as a shutter button for the camera, facilitating quick and efficient photography.
The front design of the iPhone 16 remains unchanged, maintaining the Dynamic Island aesthetic. The base model of the iPhone 16 is anticipated to retain a display similar to the iPhone 15, with no significant alterations. Continuing the trend from the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16 will feature a USB-C port at the bottom, ensuring compatibility with modern connectivity standards. Stay tuned for more updates on the evolving details of the iPhone 16.
