Rumours about the next generation of iPhone have been a little sparser than usual this year, but there's one thing that most leakers seem to agree on: the standard iPhone 16 model will feature a vertical camera layout. This has been compared to older iPhone models (it's taking us straight back to 2017), but it turns out there's a forward-thinking reason for the backward-looking design.
According to reports, the vertical camera layout is linked to Apple's VR headset, Vision Pro. Apple has made a big deal of Spatial Video, which essentially lets the user take 3D videos using an iPhone that can be viewed immersively on Vision Pro. (Looking for new kit?
