Hold onto your hats, iPhone enthusiasts! A recent leak from user @SonnyDickson on X suggests a dramatic change might be coming to the standard iPhone 16 models. The leaked case images showcase a vertical “pill” shaped camera cutout – a major departure from the familiar square design.
If these whispers prove true, it would mean the non-pro iPhone 16 line, while still featuring two cameras (wide and ultrawide), might ditch the diagonal layout. This case leak, if accurate, supports earlier rumors of a vertical camera arrangement.
Throwback Vibes
This potential shift would give the iPhone 16 a retro feel, reminiscent of the iPhone X’s vertical camera design. It marks a departure from the single-lens holes or horizontal dual-lens layouts we’ve seen on more recent models.
A Pinch of Salt
It’s crucial to remember that these leaks are incredibly early, even for the usual iPhone rumor cycle. While some case makers get a heads-up with dimensions for a perfect fit, those leaks typically happen much closer to the September launch event. The fact that this appeared in March means it’s wise to approach these images with a good dose of skepticism.
