– Apple tests extremely beautiful camera case design on iPhone 16
Apple is said to be testing different camera cover designs for standard iPhone models, with three models appearing in December 2023, but the company is shifting focus once again.
The latest report shows that Apple is developing the latest iPhone 16 prototype with a vertical camera layout with a raised surface in a pill shape. Notably, the rumored renders show the pill-shaped camera bump with two separate camera rings for Wide and Ultra Wide, adopting some styling from previous prototype designs.
The vertical camera layout has remained consistent throughout the prototyping process, with the company not even changing the position of the flash or camera lens in this new update. That also matches the leaked diagram that expert Majin Bu recently shared on X.

Although Apple also uses a vertical camera for the iPhone 12, it has a square protrusion. wider, housing the flash and microphone.

Currently, standard iPhone 15 models have cameras arranged diagonally and cannot record spatial video – a feature so far only available on iPhone 15 Pro and Vision Pro models.
In addition to the refreshed camera cover design, recent iPhone 16 prototypes also have minor modifications to the Action and Capture buttons. The latest prototypes have a smaller Action button and a pressure-sensitive Capture button horizontal to the device’s frame.
