We're now pretty sure what colors we'll see the iPhone 16 arrive in, as a leaker has shared a photo showing dummy units in five shades, and they're five shades that have been leaked multiple times before.
The image, shared by Sonny Dickson (via 9to5Mac), can be seen below and shows a dummy unit of the iPhone 16 in black, white, blue, green, and pink shades. All of these iPhone 16 colors were also previously leaked by Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a good track record, and by another leaker who has a less solid track record.
We haven't seen any conflicting reports either, although the latest source also mentioned yellow and purple options, which we're less convinced about.
But, given that three sources are pointing to black, white, blue, green, and pink versions of the iPhone 16, we think it's very likely that those colors will appear. That said, we can't be sure yet, nor can we be sure that the exact versions of those colors shown here are the ones Apple will choose.
However, if we do see these exact shades, they will be much darker than the colors Apple used on the iPhone 15 line, which could help differentiate these new phones.
Looking at the lenses
The camera layout could also help tell them apart, as this photo shows the long-rumored vertical camera layout that the company is reportedly changing for the iPhone 16.
This replaces the diagonal layout of the iPhone 15, and it is rumored that this change will likely be made so that the phones can record spatial videos for viewing on Apple Vision Pro.
However, as with colors, we can't be sure of anything until Apple confirms it, and that's unlikely to happen until September, when we expect the iPhone 16 to be unveiled, alongside the iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
