The FCC accidentally published confidential iPhone 16e schematics, including detailed electrical diagrams and antenna info, despite Apple's request for secrecy, potentially exposing company secrets to competitors.
Leaked schematics of the iPhone 16 Pro reveal a new Capture Button placed next to the power button, resembling soft shutter buttons found on cameras, and indicate larger dimensions, suggesting a 6.3-inch screen and skinny bezels. The design changes may be due to accommodating last year's iPhone 15 Pro Max's tretraprism telephoto camera. However, with conflicting leaks, skepticism remains until the official release in September.
Alleged iPhone 16 schematics suggest a shift to vertically aligned rear cameras, corroborating rumors about a new camera arrangement. The base models may feature a vertical camera design, similar to the iPhone X, while the Pro models are rumored to undergo testing for a periscope lens. Additionally, reports indicate potential new features such as a touch and pressure-responsive button, increased RAM, faster Wi-Fi and 5G, and expanded storage options, with the phones expected to be announced in September.
Apple's iPhone 16 lineup is expected to feature a new camera layout with vertical alignment, potentially indicating larger sensors for enhanced video recording capabilities. Leaked schematics also suggest a divided notch on the front and the addition of an Action Button on the side. The Pro models may include a Capture Button, while the possibility of a LiDAR scanner for spatial video recording on all models remains uncertain.
Apple is reportedly preparing to launch a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air, as indicated by recently uncovered schematics, following a year without an iPad Air upgrade. The leaked images showcase a design resembling the current iPad Air but with a rear camera and LED flash reminiscent of older iPhone models. While this suggests a potential spring release, no official confirmation has been made.
