have… mixed feelings.

The first noticeable difference between the leaked iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15 is the camera bump, which doesn’t bother me much. Sure, camera bumps are annoying if you’re not using a case, but it’s worth it in my book for the quality photos you get in exchange.

Here’s the design feature that gets me: the flash is separate from the camera bump. It’s just floating beside it, and it looks so strange. And multiple

The elephant in the room — aka the iPhone 16’s seemingly huge camera bump — has garnered a lot of negative attention from

eloquently reading, “That bump is ugly af.”

In addition to appearing like it protrudes more than the iPhone 15’s camera bump, it’s also a different shape. Instead of a square with two lenses aligned diagonally, the two lenses are now aligned vertically. One

posits, “The cameras are vertical because of the spatial video [Apple wants] to implement.”

While it’d be great to have “a thicker, flush phone (potentially with a ******* battery) than what we have now,” as another

puts it, the camera bump is likely here to stay. With better cameras and cases to essentially make a ‘flush’ phone, it might even become the norm for camera bumps to get slightly larger.

 says, “The flash is what looks the most out of place,” not the large camera bump size.

All that said, not all the comments have been negative. Currently, the

says it “Looks like an updated iPhone X,” and multiple people replied that they were looking forward to finally upgrading their X or XS. The iPhone X and XS, however, integrated the flash into the camera array, which actually looks okay.

Of course, it’s worth noting that these photos didn’t officially come from Apple, so nothing is certain until the iPhone 16 launch. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates from us on the iPhone 16 and the rest of the lineup, which will hopefully be announced at the Apple September event in about a month.
