Apple iPhone 16 camera getting major upgrade?

Apple iPhone 16 series is reported to be going through major design changes, one of which is the return to a vertical camera position rather than a diagonal one.

There are reports that Apple may reinstate the vertical arrangement found in the iPhone X and 11.

The vertical camera orientation is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing, despite the fact that it may appear to be Apple's approach of differentiating its design. It is specifically made for recording spatial video.

Apple iPhone Spatial Video

As of right now, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have the capacity to record in the format known as Spatial Video, which records depth information for immersive viewing through the use of compatible headsets such as the Apple Vision Pro.

Because of their triple camera arrangement, the Pro versions have vertically aligned cameras, which the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus lack.

Apple may increase the accessibility of the Spatial Video recording capability by reintroducing the vertical layout for the base iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. This would enable a larger audience to utilise the feature.

The vertical arrangement has additional potential advantages outside the Spatial Video. Larger sensors might be possible as a result, providing better low-light performance and crisper photos.
