Leak Majin Bu recently posted on “X” about the 2024 iPhone models. His tweet included illustrations showing the current rear camera design for the iPhone16 And iPhone16 Plus, this matches the setup MacRumors says Apple is currently testing. Additionally, the latest prototypes are said to feature a smaller mechanical action button, similar to that of the iPhone 15 Pro and a recessed pressure-sensitive capture button. Users may be able to slide the button to change zoom levels on photos and videos. A light press of the button would focus the camera while a firmer press of the button would take a photo or start recording a video.
There is still time for Apple to change the design of the non-Pro rear cameras iPhone16 models, but given that the vertical setup appears to be necessary for phones to shoot spatial video, what we see now likely won't change.
