Promotional images of what seems to be the upcoming iPhone 16 series have been leaked on “X” by a user named Lakhwinder Singh. The legitimacy of these images is supported by the vertically aligned rear camera lenses on the non-Pro models.
Apple is transitioning from diagonally mounted lenses to this new setup to enable 3D viewing of images and videos on the Vision Pro spatial computer when captured with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
The leaked materials, reportedly from China, include a specifications sheet for the iPhone 16. This sheet reveals that the device is powered by the A18 application processor (AP), features a 48MP camera designed for Vision Pro video recording, and comes with a USB-C port.
Another image highlights the new 48MP Ultra-wide camera on the iPhone 16 Pro and notes that it is powered by the A18 Pro AP. This information also confirms that the Tetraprism periscope camera, providing 5x optical zoom, will be included in the iPhone 16 Pro. This camera feature has already been available on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and is expected to be on the iPhone 16 Pro Max as well.

There are also several pages of photos showcasing the 2024 iPhone models in different colors.
Although this all appears to be legitimate, the information in the leak has been circulating for months.
This includes the Tetraprism lens for the iPhone 16 Pro, the utilization of two 3nm A18 chipsets for the new phones (A18 for the standard models and A18 Pro for the Pro variants), the vertical camera layout for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, and the 48MP sensor supporting the Ultra-wide lens on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The latest rumor suggests that Apple will hold its new product event on September 10th, unveiling the iPhone 16 series, the Apple Watch Series 10, the Apple Watch SE 3, and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. We might also see the fourth-generation Apple AirPods with two versions: a basic model and another featuring Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
If this rumor holds true, pre-orders will begin on September 13th, with the new iPhone models likely to be released on September 20th.
