With the anticipation building for the iOS 18 upgrade, attention has now shifted back to Apple’s hardware. The latest leak concerning the iPhone 16 flagship, expected to debut in September, comes from what appears to be a case mold.
A brief video clip showcasing the case mold was posted on social media by @UniverseIce, a well-regarded tipster in the tech community. While nothing is confirmed until Apple makes an official announcement, this leak aligns with previous information we’ve seen.

The case mold could be for either the iPhone 16 or the iPhone 16 Plus. The exact size is hard to determine from the short clip, but it seems likely to be the larger Plus model. There’s ongoing speculation about the screen sizes for the iPhone 16 lineup, with some reports suggesting changes across all models, possibly up to 6.9 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Regardless of whether this mold is for the iPhone 16 or the iPhone 16 Plus, both are expected to share the same design, differing only in screen size, dimensions, and battery capacity.
The mold reveals a vertical camera alignment, a shift from the diagonal arrangement seen on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. This new alignment is rumoured to support the capability for recording spatial photos and videos, enhancing multimedia functionality.
New Capture Button
Another notable feature indicated by the mold is the space for a new Capture button, which is rumoured to be included in all iPhone 16 models. This button is expected to provide users with greater control over photo and video capture, potentially enhancing the user experience significantly.
