Revealed: iPhone 16 Colors and Redesigned Camera in Leaked Image

[MacRumors]

Leaker Sonny Dickson today shared an image displaying a selection of iPhone 16 dummy models that reveal Apple's planned new color options and the rumored redesigned camera bump coming to its iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus devices.

The picture showcases five new colorways for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, and they match the descriptions previously predicted by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo: White, Black, Blue, Green, and Pink.

The new colors suggest Apple is going for a less muted, less desaturated color palette for the standard iPhone 16 models this year, although there could be differences in materials used compared to the dummy models shown. As a reminder, the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus devices are available in Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, and Black.

For the 6.1- and 6.7-inch iPhone 16 models, Apple is also planning a new vertical camera lens arrangement that is a departure from the prior diagonal lens setup. The new orientation, evidenced in the dummy units, will presumably allow the standard iPhone 16 models to capture Spatial Video for the Vision Pro headset, something only the iPhone 15 Pro models are currently capable of doing. Prior iPhones have used a square-shaped camera bump to accommodate the diagonal lenses, but Apple is able to slim down the camera bump with the new lens arrangement.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are anticipated to include an A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, a new "Capture" button on the right side for photo and video, the Action button previously exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models, and more. All four devices in the iPhone 16 series are expected to launch around mid-September.

Those camera bumps look ridiculous.

New colors, but no AI 🤷🏻‍♂️

made with true AI (no Apple Intelligence inside)

Please notice the additional finger on the right hand - needed for the upcoming Action button.

Finally, some real colors. But it's missing a red, orange or yellow-ish choice.

 

[Joe 🦅🇬🇧]

Sooo f&*% ugly !!! Maybe black could be the colour to get so it hides such hideous camera bump. 🤮

 

[HeavenDynamic]

This gives me iPhone 13 vibes. Sadly still no RED

 

[lenningj]

certainly different ;/

 

[Ralfi]

When black/white are clear winners, then you know it’s underwhelming.

 

[Populus]

Wow, I absolutealy love that teal color!

But yeah, I’m missing a vibrant red or orange color. The blue looks a bit uninspired, but I prefer to wait to see it in real life.

 

[sdm1985]

Ewww those camera bumps are the worst yet, they look hideous.

 

[Gengar]

“Colorways” is such an ugly word.

Anyway, I guess it fits here, because these colors are ugly. The pink looks like the skin tone of Peter Griffin from Family Guy, the blue looks artificial, that green looks like the color of a piece of furniture from the 70s… The iPhone 14 had such nice colors, it’s a shame to see Apple fumble the second year in a row.

Somehow these look really bad but I can't put my finger on why. I suspect the proper Apple version will look better, although the camera bump will still be the same, so....

 

[Mr. Nice]

Let's see what they look like in reality.
maybe this time there will be a real white and black.
In recent years, Apple has been choosing strange shades of blue for the normal models!
Also the nicotine white, not so nice. But I really like Midnight.
I think they did that with the colors so that people are more likely to pick up the pro.

 

[BelgianChoklit]

iKnow this is a less popular opinion but I actually find the pastel colors of the iPhone 15 lineup absolutely stunning, I find them much nicer than these.

 

[saberfi]

I doubt this is the end result. Those colors appear exceedingly cheap, like they are slapped on test units that are not being tested for color.

 

[SoldOnApple]

What's with all the ugly colours recently.

 

[lostPod]

Please give me back that product red !

 

[contacos]

Looks like they ran out of ideas and just changed the camera bump for the hell of changing something (back)

 

[orbital~debris]

Somehow these look really bad but I can't put my finger on why. I suspect the proper Apple version will look better, although the camera bump will still be the same, so....

I think it's partially the absence of the  logo, as the tonal differences it brings adds some contrast for balance.

 

[armandxp]

No washed out colors this year? 😱

 

[klasma]

Man, it's like they are trying to make it as ugly as possible. The only redeeming feature might be having a true white and black again.

 

[Ctrlos]

I like the teal, dislike the bump.

If you look at the placement of the 'capture' button on the side has been placed with symmetry to the power button. Now hold your iPhone in landscape and see how difficult it is to hit the power button with your index finger. If thats a shutter button for the camera it is in a heck of an unergonomic place.

 

[everybodylovesramen]

this truly might be the penultimate “skip it” year of iPhones

somebody crowbar tim out of apple and have him retire

 

[jouster]

Guess I’d go black or white from that uninspiring lineup. Also, “colorways” needs to die. We already have a word that works: “colors”.

 

[bookcase]

Still waiting for a Product Red, but I guess that ship has sailed.
