In the smartphone market, Apple's iPhone design has always been a trendsetter.
However, in recent years, Apple's design innovation seems to have slowed down, making expectations for the new iPhone stronger.
Now, as the iPhone 16 series draws closer, there is more and more speculation about its exterior design.
According to the available leaks, the design of the iPhone 16 Standard Edition seems to pay homage to the classics.
Since the iPhone X, Apple has been experimenting with new design languages, whileThe iPhone 16 Standard Edition may return to a look closer to the iPhone X
This means that you may see a vertically arranged rear camera, which is different from the diagonal design of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series.
Judging from the information shared by MacRumors, Apple tested different camera island solutions on multiple prototypes and finally opted for a more classic vertical design.
This design not only enhances the recognition of the phone, but also satisfies the pursuit of retro style for some users.
In addition, the mock-up of the prototype shows thatApple's latest prototype features a vertically arranged camera design with a raised part in the shape of a pill。Such a design not only retains the previous dual-camera ring design, but also provides space for wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses.
In addition to the vertically arranged camera design, other design details of the iPhone 16 Standard Edition are also worth paying attention to. The blueprints shared by Majin Bu, as well as the renders made by **, suggest that the iPhone 16 Standard Edition will likely feature a camera island design similar to the iPhone X, while also possibly adopting a pill-like shape.
These details, combined with the retro vertical camera arrangement, give the iPhone 16 Standard Edition a more distinctive look look.
The exterior design of the iPhone 16 Pro** is more abstract.
Renders shared by Majinbu show that the iPhone 16 Pro's rear camera module has a unique design, with irregular lines that wrap around the three lenses reminiscent of an electric shaver or an Adobe Air icon.
This design is visually striking, but it has also caused heated discussions among netizens and digital bloggers.
Many people expressed in the comments that they could not accept this "ugly" design, and some netizens even complained fiercely that "ugliness has reached a new height".。And this also reflects Apple's high standards in design and users' high sensitivity to its design.
Although there are many complaints, it is not entirely impossible that this lack of simplicity of design language came from Apple. After all, Apple has always dared to try new ideas and breakthroughs in design. However, from a rational point of view, such a large design change may be accompanied by a certain amount of market risk.
As the release of the iPhone 16 series approaches, the ** about the color of the new phone has also begun to heat up.
Majin Bu's revelations on social ** have attracted a lot of attention. According to what he revealedThe iPhone 16 Pro may be available in a new "Desert Titanium" or "Titanium Gray" color options
Among them, "Desert Titanium" is similar to the gold option available on the iPhone 14 Pro, but in a darker and heavier tone, while "Titanium Gray" is similar to the space gray offered on the iPhone 6.
The addition of these two new colorways not only provides users with more personalized options, but also makes the iPhone 16 Pro more visually rich. However, this information still needs to be subject to the official release, after all, before the release of the new machine, any news is subject to variables.
In addition to the ** of the new color, the return of the old color is also what many people are looking forward to.
Apple has offered a variety of classic color schemes in successive iPhones, such as space gray for the iPhone 5s, rose gold for the iPhone 6s, and blue for the iPhone XR.
On the iPhone 16 Pro, whether Apple will bring back some of the old colors is also the focus of attention.
Considering Apple's bold experimentation with color schemes in the past, the return of the old colors is not entirely out of the question. This can not only evoke memories of old users, but may also attract some new users. However, the final choice of color matching still depends on Apple's judgment of market trends and overall design concept.
Of all the ** about the iPhone 16 series, Majin Bu's revelations provide a lot of valuable information, but the possibility of Apple unleashing smoke grenades cannot be completely ruled out.
Majin Bu himself stressed in a tweet that the renders he shared may just be a ploy used by Apple to "fish" for insider whistleblowers. Therefore, we must be aware thatThere is currently uncertainty about the design information about the iPhone 16 series, and the actual design may differ from these leaks.
Apple usually puts tight control over information before product design and release to keep the product mysterious and surprise at launch. Therefore, we should take these ** and revelations as a reference, not the whole truth. Ultimately, it will only be when Apple officially unveils the iPhone 16 series that we will be able to fully determine the exterior design and color scheme of the new device.
While there is currently a lot of information about the design of the iPhone 16 series, what is certain is that Apple will definitely take user experience and market trends into account when designing the new iPhone. Regardless of the final design, the iPhone 16 series is worth our expectations.
As the release date approaches, I believe more information will surface, let's look forward to what kind of surprises Apple will bring us.
