Over the last few years of iPhone design, it seems Apple has liked to move in cycles. Back in 2020 the company unveiled the flat-edged iPhone 12, which echoed the iPhones 4 and 5, then things went full circle with last year's more rounded iPhone 15. And if new leaks are anything to go by, Apple is set to take a leaf out of its own history books again.
Leaked schematics (below) suggest the iPhone 16 will adopt a vertical camera layout, doing away with the diagonal design we've seen since 2021. And with a slimmer cutout, the whole thing looks strongly reminiscent of 2017's iPhone X. (In the market for new gear? Check out the best iPhone 15 deals available now.)
