It is reported that the iPhone 16 standard version will continue to use a wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle dual camera combination, unlike the diagonal arrangement of the previous generation, the cameras of this generation use a vertical arrangement. This design adjustment is said to be to better support the Vision Pro for spatial video shooting, as the vertically arranged dual camera system can more effectively capture the sense of space, while the original diagonal design is difficult to achieve because the camera sensors are not on the same horizontal line.

In addition to the changes in appearance, its internal hardware has also been greatly improved. The 16 series' ultra-wide angle will use a new 4800W sensor, and if the news is true, then the 16 series' image should be greatly improved, but all this should be to open the way for the Vision Pro.

According to Apple's convention, if it weren't for the promotion of the Vision Pro, the iPhone upgrade would definitely be squeezed toothpaste-like. However, this time, Apple has directly equipped the standard version with a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a specification that has not even been adopted in the Pro version, which obviously reflects Apple's support for the Vision Pro and planning for future technology trends. As an important attempt by Apple in the field of spatial video shooting and augmented reality technology, the success or failure of Vision Pro will have a great impact on Apple's future product development.

In addition, the "mute paddle" of the iPhone 16 will be changed to the "operation button" of the same model of the iPhone 15 Pro series. Previously, Bloomberg said that the 16 series will introduce a new "photo button", the new photo button retains the mechanical design, has tactile movement, can adjust the focus through touch, and at the same time responds to different pressure levels: light press to focus, heavy press to take a photo.

UBS disclosed in its latest report that iPhone sales in the U.S. market fell 9% year-on-year in February, sales in the Chinese market fell 16% year-on-year, and sales in the Indian market fell 13% year-on-year. It is not difficult to see that the most competitive Chinese market is one of the markets where iPhone sales have fallen the hardest.

In the face of the dilemma of declining sales in many ways, if Apple still makes mobile phones according to the set of squeezing toothpaste, it is foreseeable that in 2024, in the face of competition from Huawei's P70, Mate 70 and other high-end flagships of domestic manufacturers, iPhone sales in the Chinese market may be further reduced.
