According to information given by a tipster, Apple’s rumoured iPhone 16 series of handsets could include a revised back camera configuration. A leaked image of the iPhone 16 model’s camera module implies that the handset may be the first to feature a vertically positioned camera configuration since the iPhone 12. A hazy rumour also suggests that the iPhone 16 lineup would include five versions, with a “Plus SE” model replacing the 6.7-inch Plus model.
An image provided by X (previously Twitter) user Majin Bu on the microblogging platform showing the supposed camera module for the iPhone 16 appears to confirm prior reports that the phone would have a vertical camera configuration. According to MacRumors, it was able to independently verify the authenticity of the I-34 camera project component using industry sources.

The X user recently leaked images that look to be renders of the iPhone 16 series of smartphones. Unlike the iPhone 15 lineup, the Apple may introduce five models this year, according to leaked pictures. This could include the iPhone 16 SE, iPhone 16 Plus SE, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The iPhone SE models appear to have a single rear camera, but the standard iPhone 16 model has two in a vertical layout. The company’s high-end iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are shown with a vertically aligned triple rear camera setup. However, it is worth taking this claim with a grain of salt as the X user says they have no information on the source of the image.
The changes to the camera layout on the iPhone 16 lineup aren’t the only ones expected to arrive on the smartphone; Apple is also expected to equip all models in the series with an Action Button (first introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro models) and a dedicated Capture button, which is said to provide quick access to the camera.
