My speculative guess: the lenses being aligned vertically will help create a more human-equivalent interocular distance between the two lenses, possibly to produce truer-3D photos for use with a 3D headset device.

HOLY **** GUYS.
I'M SO GONNA MAKE FUN OF SAMSUNG USERS NOW

Surprised to hear that the older design will make a comeback.
I am not sure why they don't just update the camera setup completely...something new. Something that hides the bump better. iPhone is looking more and more outdated with each release. I personally like the design below
Andr*id camera arrays are uglee go buy one if that’s what you prefer we’re already getting forced sideloading in the nanny states and USB-CRAP, you can’t have your **** and eat it too 😉😌
While the rumor is possible it’s too far ahead to put too much credibility into it
All I read was Apple are still going to cheap out and not include an additional 3x zoom lens on their base iPhone for at least another 2 years.
When the base Galaxy S model does include all 3 lenses it's really not good enough on Apple's part.

You will still have the dynamic island 😉
Thats why when they give you the curious look you need to rotate the phone to show them the USB-C standard.
It is called "planned psychological forced upgrade". They design the item with a MUCH older design and replace it with a completely NEW setup with iPhone 17, forcing you psychologically to upgrade to the newest design cause the "old-new" design is iPhone 11 era. Mark this post.
That's a good thing, they survived to grow up. We don't need mistakes at this point, and know what we need, right?
You need two lenses with the same optics to take stereo images, and they really need to have at least close to eye distance. Not happening. Take a look at the Stereolabs Zed cameras.
I know at least one guy who loves vertical cameras. 😁
Now bring back the Mini!

How visionary.

if it is going to be a vertical layout, can it bring back the iPhone Xs´s design? I am not a big fan of the camera layout after iPhone 11 (iPhone 11 included), but I think the iPhone X´s is quite elegant.

This is so far out, that it’s not worth discussing. It could be false, could be subject to change or simply wrong.
Since diagonal cameras are associated with longer battery life, I can’t agree. But I can be convinced otherwise by a new phone. 😋📲
It wasn’t. It was just a way to create a visual identity for the new phone that would otherwise be identical to the previous one and people couldn’t brag about having the lastest and greatest. Reverting to the previous design now serves exactly the same purpose. It’s all marketing and there are no technical reasons.
It is laughable if true as Apple will be once again milking the dual camera setup on a phone that is nearing £1k+. I know it is known as the lower tier device by enthusiasts but this is nowhere near being positioned as a lower tier device.
It is about time Apple moved with the times and gave this phone at least a triple camera system as much of the competition now is offering this at a similar, if not cheaper price point. The iPhone 16 is 18 months away and we once again are seeing a phone that hasn't evolved much since the iPhone 11.
