Although the lack of the usual redesign for the iPhone 7 is upsetting to some people, it makes sense. Apple is saving it's radical redesign for the 10th anniversary iphone in 2017. That's just the way it is. The iPhone 7 May not be exciting, but it will still have some changes. I think less people are upgrading their iphones EVERY year now. I'm sure their iphone 6s and the upcoming iphone 7 will be fine until the radical redesign of the iPhone 8.

I am not a techinical guy at all when it comes to cameras, but this makes sense to me. My only thought is, wouldn't the dual lens version (where each lens seems smaller) be worse in that regard?
No thank you. Don't let battery life get worse, but keep on slimming. Smaller / lighter please! A little bump for the camera, no worries.
I'm still bothered by the fact that they choose the worst material possible for a phone + the rounded edges. It's almost impossible to hold without a case.
Bring the square design back or change the material.

It is simple physics really. To increase low light performance you need a bigger lens that implies a longer focal length thus we get a bump to accommodate the focal length.
For most users that bump is a very good thing wether or not they realize it. The bump leads directly to the extremely good performance you see out of Apples cell phones today. Without the bump you wouldn't have the picture quality that we have now.
As for that dime sized lens opening, it is a bit of a mystery what is going on there if the picture is ligit. It just strikes me as too large for a conventional lens.
It's not entirely out of the realm of logic that the larger the sensor in combination with the larger the glass results in better photos. Larger sensor allows for either 1) More pixels or 2) Increased pixel size for better light penetration (increased low-light performance). The larger the glass opening, the more light is allowed in and usually increases sharpness and again, low light quality.
The phone is only so big and they have to Tetris that stuff in there; it's not insane to conclude the largest device has the most room: thus allowing for the better camera equipment to fit. Ya don't have to get the bigger one.
Dear me, Apple... Really? Viva la protruding camera and antenna bands? You better get rid of that all for iPhone 8 otherwise it's bye-bye, and bye-bye smart phone altogether. This. Is. Disgusting.
I cannot be the only one thinking Apple is screwing around with us. Every leak is different from the other.
Three phones. Two phones. Headphone jack, no headphone jack...
Apple?
OMG, can you understand the concept of "rumor"? This doesn't come from Apple.
You'll only know how the next iPhone will be in the September event, until now, have fun complaining about the fakes.

Have fun finding an Andeoid without that.
Disgusting!
That's only because no Apple phone has had a dual camera before. Everything Apple was un-Apple like until Apple did it. The Macintosh looked nothing like Apple ][ or even Lisa.

Is Apple obsessed with thinness, or are you obsessed with thick heavy batteries?
What about reducing that big bezels? I'd like to see that...
Yeah,
Go to Android . There are about 2 models without a bulging camera. Good luck...

I agree, I wanted a 6s plus for work, but actually preferred the regular 6plus, because it is a little bit thinner and quite less heavy.
I think the poster is implying that Apple is providing these leaks on purpose to throw people off. I might subscribe to this mindset if it wasn't suggested every year, and then, the thing leaked 3+ months before launch actually turns out to be the exact product Apple makes.
Accelerometer and proximity sensor bumps coming right up!So we already have camera bump, battery bump...what will be next?
Yes, this is a rumour. But I'm beginning to wonder how closely the design and engineering teams work together
Some of these designs look like components are shoehorned into the form factor.
It's almost as if Jonny would say, "you want me to put that into my thin masterpiece?"

It's going to have to be a really incredible camera, and I'm not sure how Apple will market it to set it apart from the 6 & 6s which has been heavily marketed for its amazing photo quality for the last two years. They can of course keep going with the "shot on iPhone 7", but how are they going to demonstrate the superiority on a billboard? Seems to me it will all just flow together, leaving the cops tomes thinking, 'my 6s has a great camera' what else does this weird-looking phone do?'. And I'm afraid the answer is shaping up as not much else ... And it may have lost the headphone jack as well ...
the worst part is the thought that the 7S might look the same as this abomination.
I am not gonna buy another iPhone unless they finally get rid of that dated waste of space bezel

Expect RAW capture along with new editing tools using the new Core Image RAW processing APIs.
As a photographer, that's huge and enough for me to upgrade.
