The iPhone 16 features a redesigned camera module, positioning the two camera sensors vertically, unlike the iPhone 15’s diagonal setup. Additionally, the iPhone 16 introduces two new physical buttons: the Camera button and the Action button, which replace the Ring/Silent switch. The Camera button allows for various camera controls. These buttons are not present on the iPhone 15.
