The latest prototype for the iPhone 16 has been leaked, and it appears to feature a rear camera design similar to the one used in the iPhone X. This design includes a thin camera island running vertically down the upper left corner of the rear panel, with two vertically mounted cameras separated by the flash. This change from Apple’s recent designs could have some significant implications.

Here’s what we know about the leaked iPhone 16 component:

– The new design resembles the rear camera layout of the iPhone X
– The return to this layout is rumored to be related to Apple’s Vision Pro
– Photos and videos shot on previous iPhone models cannot be viewed in 3D on Apple’s spatial computer due to misaligned cameras

The leak, shared by prominent leaker Majin Bu, shows images of the new camera module for the iPhone 16. While the photos show the module upside down, industry sources have confirmed its authenticity and its use in Apple’s upcoming model. It is expected that this new camera design will allow for improved spatial photos and videos on the iPhone 16.

It is important to note that this rumored change may only apply to the non-Pro models of the iPhone 16. The Pro models are expected to maintain their current layout, which has already allowed users of these devices to capture spatial photos and videos effectively.

Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about Apple’s upcoming release!
