It’s surprising that there are about eight months left before the announcement of the iPhone 16, and several design options for the future device have already appeared online – and many reputable insiders are talking about a change in appearance. The publication Macrumors told what the base model of the new iPhone will be.

The renderings are based on fresh leaks and drawings. Judging by them, Apple may remove the square protrusion of the camera block, leaving only two round lenses. They will be positioned vertically like the iPhone X or Nothing Phone.

The source writes that thanks to the vertical placement of the camera, Apple will introduce spatial video recording into the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16+ models. Since the iPhone 15 has a diagonal camera module arrangement, it is not capable of shooting such videos. This feature is currently limited to iPhone 15 Pro models and the Vision Pro headset.

In addition to the redesigned camera bump, the iPhone 16 will feature an Action button that’s exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and a new Capture button. With its help, users will be able to adjust zoom and focus, as well as start video recording.

As for the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, no major design changes are expected, but for the first time in many years they will increase in size . Future firmware will have 6.3- and 6.9-inch displays, respectively: thus, the 16 Pro Max will more closely resemble a mini-tablet.

It is expected that the larger body will allow the periscope to fit into the 16 Pro’s body. It’s because of the 15 Pro’s size that Apple made this camera innovation exclusive to the 15 Pro Max. Also, the new sizes will allow the installation of larger and longer-lasting batteries.

In the meantime, Apple is preparing for a spring presentation at the end of March, at which it will present new laptops and tablets. If the rumors are true, the iPad Pro will receive the biggest upgrade in the last 5 years, but the price will also increase significantly.

According to a report by Counterpoint, Apple experienced a decline of 24% in iPhone sales during the initial six weeks of 2024. This decrease can be attributed to heightened competition from domestic rivals, particularly Huawei.

In contrast, the Chinese tech giant witnessed a remarkable growth of 64% in the market for high-end smartphones. Furthermore, Apple’s shares concluded with a 2.8% decrease on Tuesday, March 5, resulting in an overall loss of around 12% in value for the company this year.

Counterpoint notes that the US company’s share of the Chinese smartphone market has fallen to 15.7%, placing the company in fourth place. Moreover, last year during the same period she was in second place.

Now second place is occupied by Huawei, whose market share has increased to 15.5% from 9.4%. And this despite the fact that the overall smartphone market in China decreased by 7%.

Apple’s recent announcement revealed that they have decided against hosting a March presentation featuring an online broadcast to unveil their latest iPad and Mac models. Instead, the new devices will be quietly introduced on their official website.

According to reports, Apple is reportedly feeling a sense of urgency due to the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring and is consequently expediting the development of their own smart ring. However, the exact release date of this innovative product remains uncertain.

According to sources, the new button will be one of the main improvements in the upcoming series.

According to numerous insiders, future Apple smartphones in 2024 will feature a new “capture” button on the body. The Information publication shared details about how it will work.

So, with its help, iPhone owners will be able to adjust zoom and focus, as well as start video recording. It will be located on the right side of the iPhone under the power button.

The button itself will be mechanical and not touch-sensitive, as previously expected. However, there will be a touch layer on top – it will allow you to respond to “swipe”. For example, by moving your finger left/right, the smartphone will adjust the zoom, and by lightly pressing it will focus.

According to the source, Apple will promote the iPhone 16 line as “the optimal solution for mobile photography.” And all models, not just Pro, will receive this innovation.

As you know, the iPhone 15 has a completely new button on the side for the first time since the first iPhone . It replaces the traditional mute switch, offering users a customizable alternative.

In the meantime, Apple is preparing for a spring presentation at which it will present new laptops and tablets. According to insiders, iPad Pro will receive the largest upgrade in the last 5 years, but the price will also increase significantly.

Also, before the end of 2024, the anniversary Apple Watch will be released, which will become a truly revolutionary smart watch , updated iPad mini and AirPods 2 and 3 generations, which will receive Type-C instead of Lightning. And the company also has plans for a budget MacBook laptop “for everyone . ”
