Over the past few months, the iPhone 16 series has been all over the news, giving us an idea of what to expect from the upcoming iPhones. Even when the leaks first appeared on the horizon, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus were expected to come with a new, vertically-aligned rear camera bump. Those reports have resurfaced to give us another preview of the rumored vertical camera arrangement on the vanilla iPhone 16 models. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro models are likely to feature a new polished titanium finish with improved scratch resistance.

An X (formerly Twitter) user, Sonny Dickson shared the images of the first iPhone 16 cases, which showed a new camera cutout designed for vertically-facing cameras. Over the past few months, Apple has reportedly been experimenting with various prototypes for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, all of which have featured a vertical camera arrangement.

In February, an image leaked of the X featuring the same vertical casing with two separate camera rings for the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras within a pill-shaped raised surface. Well, this isn't a major redesign. We've all already seen it on older iPhones, remember? The iPhone X had a similar design, and it seems that Apple has to take inspiration from older iPhone models to bring in some changes. The camera flash sits outside the bump, while the microphone sits right next to the lenses.
