What does Apple plan on changing on the iPhone 16 camera module?
As you must be aware, the current iPhone 15 features two camera sensors, diagonally placed in a squarish camera module on the top left corner. Now according to a recent report by MacRumors, the latest iPhone 16 prototypes sport a vertical placement for both lenses, one below the other. It shows a pill-shaped raised camera module instead of the current squared one.
What does the pill-shaped camera module include?
This camera island features two separate camera rings, one for the Wide lens and the other one for the Ultrawide sensor. The flash is placed on the right-hand side of these two lenses, outside of the pill-shaped bump. These prototypes are further backed by a leak by Majin Bu on X where he shared similar design patterns.
