As a giant in the technology industry, Apple's release of each new iPhone can receive a lot of attention. Although the iPhone 15 series has not yet appeared, there have been news about the iPhone 16 series on the Internet. On May 23, Mobile China learned that many new revelations showed that the iPhone 16 will use a vertical camera arrangement, instead of the current diagonal camera in the iPhone 14. This will make the iPhone 16 look similar to the iPhone 12, but also easily recognizable as a new model.
Apple has always liked to make bigger changes in the Pro version of the model, and then slowly penetrate the standard version model. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro uses the Smart Island design, which is expected to be used in the iPhone 15 Standard Edition in 2023.
According to the latest revelations from Twitter user @URedditor (aka Unknownz21), the iPhone 16 will make significant design changes that are different from the iPhone 15. The base models iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will feature a vertical camera arrangement instead of a diagonal arrangement, which will give the new machine a similar look to the iPhone 12.
The iPhone 16 camera may be vertically aligned
Apple moved to a diagonal layout to make room for improved sensors and stabilized motors, but the extra space may not be needed in the future. It's not clear why Apple is making the change, but Unknownz21 says it will make the iPhone 16 easily recognizable as the new model.
This is interesting because Apple's recent strategy is to de-prioritize external design changes for the standard version of the iPhone. While the changes to the standard iPhone have been significant over the years, and new features have been added, they tend to be inherited from the Pro model.

It is precisely because the appearance of the iPhone 16 will have significant changes, so that the blogger is not so optimistic about the iPhone 15 standard version. Because the vertical camera arrangement of the iPhone 16 offers at least some differences from the iPhone 15, which is not much different from the iPhone 14 in appearance.
Unknownz21 often breaks news about the iPhone, and the credibility is relatively high.
