Apple seems to have finalized the design of the upcoming iPhone 16, as per leaked CAD files. The new design showcases a vertical arrangement of the camera lenses, a departure from the previous diagonal setup. The flash is positioned beside the main and telephoto lenses, indicating a shift in camera island layout.
One notable advantage of this new camera arrangement is its compatibility with Apple's mixed reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro. The vertical alignment of the iPhone 16 cameras, when used in landscape mode for video recording, mimics digital eyes, making videos suitable for the Spatial Video feature of the headset. This feature is currently available on the iPhone 15 Pro but not on the standard iPhone 15 models.
