MagSafe may use a thinner ring of magnets in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro, if you believe the supposed molds for making cases.
MagSafe uses a ring of magnets and an alignment magnet to ensure perfect alignment of the charger with the internal charging coil. While the design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction, it may be subject to change with the iPhone 16 lineup.
A new rumor involves the molds used to produce iPhone 16 cases, which ShopSystem saw. Photos of the shapes provide a few clues about the physical characteristics of the next wave of iPhones.
The main change seen in the shapes concerns MagSafe: the thickness of the ring and guide sections is slightly thinner than that of the iPhone 15.
There may be several changes. about the impact on the iPhone 16, such as requiring accessory makers to modify their designs to comply. This change could also mean that Apple is reducing the amount of magnetic material used or simply adjusting its placement.
Despite the narrowing, it is almost certain that existing MagSafe accessories will continue to work with the new models. Despite the different thicknesses, the position of the magnets ultimately remains the same.
Besides the change to MagSafe, these models also correspond to rumors that the iPhone 16 and Plus will use a vertical camera arrangement.
This has been a long-standing rumor that could lead to the iPhone 16 being able to record spatial video. For the format, which is currently viewable on Apple Vision Pro, you need to move the cameras so that two are next to each other.
This feature is currently available on iPhone 15 Pro Max.
While the existence of the shapes gives a good idea of what the final iPhone might look like, they are still just guesses. Case molds or mockups are not distributed by Apple itself, but are created based on supply chain rumors.
There is no guarantee of what Apple is going to show in the fall until the September special event.
