Leaker Sonny Dickson today shared an image displaying a selection of iPhone 16 dummy models that reveal Apple's planned new color options and the rumored redesigned camera bump coming to its iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus devices.
The picture showcases five new colorways for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, and they match the descriptions previously predicted by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo: White, Black, Blue, Green, and Pink.
The new colors suggest Apple is going for a less muted, less desaturated color palette for the standard iPhone 16 models this year, although there could be differences in materials used compared to the dummy models shown. As a reminder, the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus devices are available in Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, and Black.
For the 6.1- and 6.7-inch iPhone 16 models, Apple is also planning a new vertical camera lens arrangement that is a departure from the prior diagonal lens setup. The new orientation, evidenced in the dummy units, will presumably allow the standard iPhone 16 models to capture Spatial Video for the Vision Pro headset, something only the iPhone 15 Pro models are currently capable of doing. Prior iPhones have used a square-shaped camera bump to accommodate the diagonal lenses, but Apple is able to slim down the camera bump with the new lens arrangement.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are anticipated to include an A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, a new "Capture" button on the right side for photo and video, the Action button previously exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models, and more. All four devices in the iPhone 16 series are expected to launch around mid-September.

When black/white are clear winners, then you know it’s underwhelming.

“Colorways” is such an ugly word.
Anyway, I guess it fits here, because these colors are ugly. The pink looks like the skin tone of Peter Griffin from Family Guy, the blue looks artificial, that green looks like the color of a piece of furniture from the 70s… The iPhone 14 had such nice colors, it’s a shame to see Apple fumble the second year in a row.

iKnow this is a less popular opinion but I actually find the pastel colors of the iPhone 15 lineup absolutely stunning, I find them much nicer than these.

I doubt this is the end result. Those colors appear exceedingly cheap, like they are slapped on test units that are not being tested for color.
