FULL STORY ======================================================================

Were expecting quite a few design changes and new hardware features across
the iPhone 16 line, and now were not limited to seeing these just in renders, as metal dummy units of the phones have also leaked.

Photos shared by Sonny Dickson on X (via 9to5Mac ) show dummy units of all four expected phones the iPhone 16 , the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max from a variety of angles, highlighting key
details.

Those details include a new Capture button for all four models. This is shown on the right edge, and based on previous leaks is expected to work as a shortcut to camera functions like recording videos and taking photos. pic.twitter.com/GiIWNkXcI8 April 4, 2024 See more

We can also see that all four dummy units have an Action button on the left edge. This customizable shortcut is already present on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max , but were expecting all four iPhone 16 models to have it.

The other big visual change here is to the cameras on the iPhone 16 and
iPhone 16 Plus, which are shown with vertically aligned lenses rather than
the diagonal layout of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus . This change has
been rumored for a while, and its speculated that the new arrangement will allow them to record spatial video for the Apple Vision Pro .

Beyond that, it looks like the iPhone 16 Pro is slightly larger than the iPhone 16, and that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is a little larger than the iPhone 16 Plus. That would be a change from the current models, but in line with leaks suggesting that the iPhone 16 Pro will grow to 6.3 inches (up from
6.1), and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be 6.9 inches (up from 6.7). Credible, but far from guaranteed

Given that all of these things have leaked extensively before theres a good chance the details here are accurate, but as always we'll take them with a pinch of salt for now.

Dummy units are often used by case makers to ensure their cases fit the upcoming phones, so the details tend to be fairly accurate; however theres no guarantee of that, especially as we dont know the source of these leaked dummies.

We expect a much clearer picture of these phones to emerge over the coming months, as information is sure to keep leaking ahead of their launch, which will almost certainly happen in September.
