Rumors Suggest iPhone 16 to Feature Revamped Camera Bump Design, Battery Change
Do you remember last year in one of our posts, we covered that the front camera design of the upcoming iPhone 16 series (except 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max) is expected to come with a vertical layout instead of a diagonal layout which we have already seen in iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. It is also expected to come with a slim camera bump.
But there is a twist. New renders of the iPhone 16 by @MajinBuOfficial x @upintheozone suggest that along with a vertical layout, we have a pill-shaped camera island which we have already seen in iPhone X. On the camera island, we have two sensors for Wide and Ultrawide camera sensors with an LED flash on the side.
Apple Hub has also shared renders of the expected color options of the iPhone 16 along with a side comparison with the iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are suggested to have come with the same design that we have already seen in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The rumors suggested that the reason behind redesigning the camera of iPhone 16 is that we can record spatial video which is later played on Apple’s new headset i.e. Apple Vision Pro.
On the front side, we have not seen any new changes. As per leaks, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 + are expected to come with a 60 Hz display as usual. The same USB-C port on the bottom of the phone as like iPhone 15 series.
But if we talk about the new add-ons in iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 +, then as per rumors, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 + are expected to be coming with an Action Button which we see in the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max as like we saw Dynamic Island in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 + this year instead of notch.
No Capacitive Capture Button in iPhone 16 series
Do you remember the capture button whose codename was Project Nova? The latest information by MacRumors suggested that this button will not be available in the iPhone 16 series. Previously, MacRumors mentioned in one of their posts that this capacitive action button will feature a force sensor with the functionality of “tact-switching”. Also, the location of the capture button was said to be located on the side of the mmWave cutout on the iPhone models (available in the U.S.). This mmWave antenna will be moved to the phone’s left side with the new iPhone 16 (in the U.S.). But as of now, Apple has dropped the initial idea of adding a Capacitive Capture Button in the iPhone 16 Lineup.
iPhone 16 Series Battery and Action Button in iPhone 16 and iPhone 16+
Until the iPhone 15 series, Apple used an L-shaped battery design in their iPhones. Still, Majin Bu, an X user claims that Apple will use a regular rectangular battery in the upcoming iPhone 16 Lineup. Now, let’s talk about the battery mAh of the upcoming iPhone 16 Lineup.
Battery mAh in iPhone 16 Series:
| iPhone 15 Series | iPhone 16 Series | % Change | |
| Standard | 3,349 mAh | 3,561 mAh | +6% |
| Plus | 4,383 mAh | 4,006 mAh | -9% |
| Pro Max | 4,422 mAh | 4,676 mAh | +5% |
Till now, the tipster Bu has not revealed any information regarding the iPhone 16 Pro’s battery. Also, till now it’s unclear why the battery of the iPhone 16 + has been shrunk if we compare it with the iPhone 15 + battery.

Note: The above-listed information is based on the early designs, it may or may not be changed as we know the iPhone 16 Series launch will be too far.

As we already know the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s tetraprism camera comes with 5x optical zoom. But now, Apple is planning to add it in both Pro models of iPhone 16 i.e. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
This is a rumor that we have already heard from many big sources such as MacRumors, Taiwanese research firm Trendforce, and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In today’s press release, Taiwanese research firm Trendforce has adverted regarding this.
Following the successful launch of the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its exclusive Tetraprism telephoto zoom lens, the industry is expected to see an increase in the adoption of periscopic lens modules. Apple plans to bring this advanced hardware upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro, making it accessible to more users in the Pro series.
The design of the tetraprism camera system in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is folded due to which it can be easily fitted into the smartphone. This tetraprism camera system enables 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom. The Pro Max models of iPhones i.e. iPhone 15 Pro Max have a bigger display size i.e. 6.7 inches.
But, on the other hand, if we talk about the Pro models i.e. iPhone 15 Pro, then the display is 6.1 inches as like the iPhone 15 which is small if we compare it with Pro Max. So, as per rumors, Apple will increase the size of the iPhone 16 Pro from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches to fit the tetraprism camera system in the Pro model of the iPhone 16.
What do you guys think whether we get 5x optical zoom in iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max? Do let us know in the comment box. Also, tell us whether you like this post or not.
