I personally think this is not the case because the round exterior and the round curve of the camera island have different curve ratios.
Also, there is a story that the reason why the iPhone camera arrangement is different from the 16 is because the two cameras need to be positioned horizontally for spatial shooting linked to Vision Pro spatial computing. If I were to take pictures, I would use the top and bottom cameras and shoot with my iPhone in landscape mode. Is there a reason to expand the camera island area? The distance between the lens and flash + sensor is also different from the previous trend. Personally, I think the previously released version with three cameras lined up horizontally is a bit long.
If I had to guess, I think the camera arrangement is the same as a triangle, but unlike before, there are two cameras side by side at the top and one camera at the bottom, so it is in the form of an inverted triangle. Functionally, it also satisfies the condition of using two lenses horizontally for shooting. So I’m guessing they’ll do that. In other words, in the current 16 design, the camera island is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
