Agree on the weight, dang thing is heavy; but instead of thinner, I’ll take smaller (diagonally). I miss the way iPhone 4/S fit in the cup of my hand. I still like the pro lenses though so I won’t downgrade to a regular plastic back iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

They most probably will yes lol. 60hz displays, dual camera, no lidar and now breaking the £1k price point at higher storage options. I think it makes more sense to buy last years Pro device at a discount than the standard iPhone for those not wishing to buy the current Pro. This approach is certainly making offers more attractive for Android flagships and I can see why quite a few of my friends and colleagues seem to have swapped their iPhones for a different option in recent years.
Not sure how I feel about the camera placement of the base 16, reminds me of the X-12 era and feels outdated. I got used to the diagonal design since the 13. Meh I'll probably get it and never think of it again lol
This change has already been made on the Pro models going from the 14 Pro (Max) to the 15 Pro (Max) – the main and wide-angle cameras are now arranged vertically on the 15 Pro, whereas the top camera on the 14 Pro was the telephoto one.
Am I blind or does this look like more of the same?
One of the best looks yet at the rear design and increased size of Apple's iPhone 16 models was today shared online.
The images, posted on X by Sonny Dickson, show four dummy models representing the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These units are designed to take the place of real devices for display or testing purposes.
The dummy models provide a clear look at the slightly larger size of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are expected increase from 6.1- to 6.3-inches and 6.7- to 6.9-inches, and how they compare to the other models in the lineup.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to stay at 6.1- and 6.7-inches like their predecessors, but they are rumored to receive a redesigned vertical camera array designed to accommodate spatial video capture. Starting with the iPhone 13, Apple's two non-Pro iPhone models have had diagonally arranged dual rear cameras. The entire iPhone 16 lineup is expected to launch as usual in the fall.

Not trying to troll or be pedantic.
I’m tried of buying the same iPhone every year since 2018.
Little bump here, little curve there, new color zzzZzzZzzzZzzzz
Apple put all its eggs in the Vision Pro basket and took our beautiful leather cases for a fine woven disaster.
Yawn.
The good thing is that it won't be much wider. It will actually be less wide than my 13.
To be fair, Apple tried and hardly anybody bought it. It's unfortunate that Apple didn't keep the minis around despite this, but that's Apple.
Big phones are better for sedentary people and/or people who can't afford to have an iPad too.
Thing is, they're already pretty hard to operate one-handed. So, even a fairly modest increase in size just exacerbates that issue.
What were the benefits of diagonal lenses? Other than showing the world that you have the latest non-pro iPhone for a year or two.
This might be the second year ever that I skip an upgrade. Apple could release an iPhone 12 mini with USB-C and 120hz, and I would pick that over a slightly larger Pro model.
Oh look the 3 camera design is the same hideous design I thought was a joke when it first leaked years and years ago….
That was already my opinion after a few months use of the iPhone 6.
I would pay extra for a single-camera flush iPhone without camera bump.
It’s glass back. I wish it was plastic back, would feel better.
this is miserable. they are all too big

That sounds more a demand for an SE iPhone rather than a mid tier device at this price point. Camera bumps are an issue for those who use cases.
So the iPhone 16 Pro will look the exact same...

My point is that I would regard the lack of a camera bump as a premium feature.
Unfortunately the battery life on that would probably be wretched with ProMotion. That was the main driver for me going from the 13 Mini to the 15 Pro. I could kill like 20% of the battery life on my 1.5 year-old Mini in an hour train ride. It had mediocre battery life right when I got it, and it went down from there. Still a great little device, but it didn't suit my usage very well.
Off topic, but I wish the phone carriers would let you seamlessly switch between devices on the fly, because I'd definitely use a smaller iPhone as a "going out for a few hours" device that's lighter in the pocket.
