According to a photo that was released online, one understands that the iPhone 16 will be in a vertical arrangement.
In recent months, Apple has been considering various camera designs for the classic iPhone 16 models, all of which feature a vertical camera arrangement.

The latest prototype features two distinct camera rings for the Wide and Ultra Wide, set into a high-profile, pill-shaped surface. This suggests that Apple has taken inspiration from previous iPhone models, such as the iPhone X.
With the camera in a vertical arrangement, Apple plans to integrate the feature into the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. The current iPhone 15 models have a diagonal camera arrangement and do not support spatial video recording, a feature that is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro models and the Vision Pro headset.
In addition to the advanced camera design, the recent iPhone 16 models also include a smaller action button, similar to that of the iPhone 15 Pro, along with a more sensitive action button that is placed flush with the device frame, for recording horizontal videos.
When MacRumors first revealed the latest initial design earlier this month, we informed readers that it came from pre-production information and therefore may not ultimately reflect the final design that will be mass-produced
The fact that case molds exist at this early stage doesn't necessarily mean that Apple has already finalized the design for the iPhone 16. The molds may simply be used as samples, based on the early stages of design. Case makers often base their initial designs on upcoming iPhone models, so the images released may not accurately represent the final result.
Majin Bu recently shared images on X (formerly Twitter). While Bu has a mixed track record with accurate rumors, his previous designs and leaked photos seem to line up with our information coming from outside the supply chain.
