Now that we've heard all about the iOS 18 update coming later this year, we can turn our attention back to the hardware, and the design of the iPhone 16 flagship launching in September has leaked again, this time to through what appears to be a box mold.
@UniverseIce, one of the most reliable tipsters out there, posted a short video of this clip on social media. Nothing is official until Apple confirms it. but this matches previous leaks we've seen.
It looks like we're looking at a case template for the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus, as it's quite difficult to judge the size from this short clip. It's probably the largest model, but it could be the standard.
There is still some debate over the screen size that will come with the iPhone 16 Plus and from what we have heard so far, all iPhone models could change their screen size this year, perhaps up to 6.9 inches with the iPhone 16 Pro. Max.
Cameras and buttons
Whether this case mold is for iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus, both phones are expected to have the same design; The only difference between the two phones should be the screen size and configuration, dimensions and battery capacity.
You can see the previously rumored vertical camera alignment here – it will be a change from the diagonal arrangement on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, and will apparently allow the new versions to record spatial photos and videos.
There also appears to be room here for the new Capture button that is supposedly coming to all iPhone 16 models this year. If the rumors are true, the new button will give users more control over how they take photos and videos.
Rumors and leaks will no doubt continue between now and September, when four more iPhones are expected to be released, and they should come with iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence on board.
