Apple fans are in for a treat this year, as the tech giant is reportedly planning to launch five models under its upcoming iPhone 16 series, instead of the usual four. According to a tipster on X (previously Twitter), Apple will introduce two new iPhone 16 SE models, along with the standard iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The tipster, who goes by the name Majin Bu, has also shared some leaked schematics and potential prices of the iPhone 16 models. The schematics show different camera configurations for each model, with the iPhone 16 SE and iPhone 16 Plus SE sporting a single pill-shaped rear camera, similar to the iPhone X. The regular iPhone 16 will have a dual rear camera setup, while the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a triple rear camera system. The camera bumps will also have a vertical orientation, unlike the square-shaped ones of the current iPhone 15 series.
