Apple has announced the iPhone 16, the latest edition of its mainline smartphone. The iPhone 16 comes in a variety of slightly refreshed colors that are more vivid compared to previous years. Also refreshed is the updated dual-camera arrangement on its rear, once again set up vertically, as last seen on the iPhone 12 from 2020.
The 16 follows the same general design as the 15, with squared-off frame, rear glass allowing for MagSafe wireless charging, Apple’s Dynamic Island top cutout for housing its front-facing camera and Face ID sensors, and USB-C charging / data port at its base. While the move back to vertically-aligned rear lenses may seem like a strange retread to a design element Apple moved on from, the backtrack makes sense…
