Take a look at this: the buttons are almost as thick as the actual phone the USB-C port is almost as thick as the iPhone itself We have an entirely new camera module on the back which reminds me a lot of the Google Pixel camera Let’s go ahead and measure the depth of this design and let’s go ahead and place it right there and see – wow right there it is 0.22 inches. This is going to be the thinnest iPhone ever. Now, one thing to note is that this iPhone phone is so thin I think MagSafe will not be available on this device.” The Pro models will retain the familiar triple-camera setup in a triangular arrangement, but a major design shift is expected. The raised camera module is rumored to extend across almost the full width of the phone. According to CAD measurements, both Pro models might be slightly thicker this year. A new report from Weibo suggests that this added thickness is to accommodate a larger battery. It’s worth noting that these 3D-printed models are basic representations and don’t reflect the actual materials or finishes of the final devices.
