Apple will reduce the thickness of MagSafe on the iPhone 16 series to save costs?

[CNMO Technology News] According to the latest news, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series may use a thinner magnet ring in its MagSafe magnetic charging function. This change stems from pictures of iPhone 16 mobile phone case manufacturing molds exposed by the ShopSystem website. These pictures provide us with clues about the characteristics of the next generation iPhone.

It can be seen from the mold that compared with iPhone 15, the thickness of iPhone 16’s MagSafe magnet ring and alignment part has been reduced .

This change may have multiple impacts on the iPhone 16:

1. requiring accessory suppliers to modify the design to accommodate the new size.
2. Apple is reducing the amount of magnetic materials used.
3. Only adjust the position of the magnet.

Existing MagSafe accessories are expected to remain compatible with the new model despite the narrower magnet ring. Although the thickness is different, the magnet position remains basically the same.

In addition to the MagSafe changes, the mold also shows that the iPhone 16 standard and Plus versions may adopt a vertical camera arrangement. This long-standing rumor suggests that the iPhone 16 may be able to record spatial video. In order to support this format, the two cameras need to be placed side by side, a feature that is currently available for viewing on the Apple Vision Pro. But this feature is only available on iPhone 15 Pro Max.

While the existence of molds provides a good reference for what the final iPhone will look like, they are still just speculation based on supply chain rumors. Apple itself does not disseminate these manufacturing molds or prototypes.
