Non-working iPhone 16 “dummies” showcase new colors and vertical cameras
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus should be equipped with vertical cameras for spatial video recording and come in five less muted color finishes.
Australian leaker Sonny Dickson has shared images of so-called dummy units of the base 6.1-inch iPhone 16 and 6.7-inch iPhone 16 Plus arriving this fall. They showcase the rumored colors for these base models: White, Black, Blue, Green and Pink.
Reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo first called for these colorways back in May, with another source corroborating Kuo’s prediction. In comparison, the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models are offered in Black, Blue, Green, Pink and Yellow.
Will the iPhone 16 have less desaturated colors?
Don’t judge the final look and feel by these plastic mockups. It’s hard to tell how shiny or dull these colors will look like in real life because dummies don’t reflect Apple’s manufacturing precision. Be that as it may, it does appear as if Apple’s smartphone color palette for 2024 will be less desaturated.

iPhone 16 Pro & Pro Max：黑色、白色 (或銀色)、灰色 (應該是原色鈦金屬)、玫瑰
iPhone 16 & 16 Plus：黑色、綠色、粉紅、藍色、白色Apple可能對顏色會有不同的稱呼 (如先前稱呼白色為星光色)。此外，即便顏色名稱與既有機種相同，但看起來可能會不一樣。

That’s especially true for the boring iPhone Pro colors. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max could bring two new titanium finishes, but good luck distinguishing them with a naked eye. According to Kuo, they’re Black, White or Silver, Gray or Natural Titanium, and a new Rose color replacing the Blue Titanium option.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus should also get a RAM upgrade to 8 GB (the minimum amount of memory required to run Apple Intelligence), the Dynamic Island (previously exclusive to iPhone 15 Pros) and a dedicated Capture button for taking photos and shooting video.
Vertical dual-camera layout
The iPhone 16 lineup is expected to switch to vertically aligned cameras on the back so the two cameras are arranged horizontally when shooting in landscape mode. This will enable the non-Pro iPhone 16 models to shoot 3D stereoscopic video.
Spatial video capture is currently only possible with the iPhone 15 Pros, which have rearranged their triple camera layout so that the wide and ultra-wide cameras (required for spatial video capture) are rearranged horizontally when holding the device in landscape mode.
What are iPhone “dummy units”
iPhone “dummy units” are non-working handset mockups based on rumors and leaked specifications. People 3D print them (that’s why they look cheap, not premium) to visualize what an upcoming iPhone might look like and to earn money from going viral on social media.
These units are frequently created for companies that build iPhone cases and various accessories. While many branded case makers like Totallee obtain the exact physical dimensions of upcoming iPhones from their own source, they need dummy units to test how snugly their cases fit unreleased iPhones.
