Are you serious? What is symmetrical about the existing iPhone camera position?

2019 iPhone's Triple-Lens Rear Camera Design Allegedly Showing in New Renderings

For many there are zero modern issues and software wise apple are in a far better place than they were during IOS 11.
You need to add features and considering the rest of the market are adding triple lens on their devices they need to try and keep up and develop the technology when it’s there to improve.

Doubt you will see any price increases given the flack apple have got the past few weeks.
If the triple lens does a great job that can take even better pictures people really won’t care that much. That said it’s unlikely it will look like this. This is a render after all.
Headlines: "Apple releases 2018's phone in 2019" "Apple releases iPhone XS again" "Apple can't even release a new phone anymore" "Apple has lost its way" "Apple, why?"
Hardly one week into the new year, I really do think it is too early for this April Fool's joke.
The position of the two cameras/lenses is symmetrical in respect to the flash. Also the distance of the edge of the camera bump from the top and left edge of the phone is (almost) identical.
I want an iphone with cameras like the composite eye of a fly

But it doesnt give good depth on the X direction. If u have them off axis to each other, u can get good depth for VR rendering i think.
We will have to agree to disagree, I think the Pixel 3XL is a far more accomplished design as is the new Huawei in my opinion. The cameras look terrible on the current iPhone XS Max and face ID is a nightmare and one of the many reasons I hardly ever use my iPhone XS Max but much rather reach for my Pixel 3XL.
Granted the notch is nicer on the iPhone, even though it never looks nice on any phone and hopefully will be gone from most flagships in 2019. To be clear iPhone's didn't start using notches Android powered phones did. It's a bad solution but currently the best solution to having front facing cameras, the Pixel 3's for instance have two so that's why the notch is bigger.
In terms of the software I've had far less issues on the Pixel line of phones than on my iPhone's in the last 3 years. I think it's important to accept that Android and Android phone manufacturers have caught up and in many ways surpassed Apple rather than blindly praise everything they do. Apple's it just works moniker hasn't been true for many years and we need to call them up on that.
This is a weird render. This is clearly a jet black iPhone 7. I doubt Apple will go back to aluminium - how will they have inductive charging?
Well, as this year is the year I am aiming to upgrade (6S Currently) this is it for me. If it does the job and the camera is awesome, then I don't care tbh.
I imagine the 3 lenses are to bolster the AR features, better depth of field, distance, etc. No doubt a few more fancy marketing terms from Apple to spin it.
Third lens, increment overall cost by £100 at least ... £1099 XI Starting price?

But the location is asymmetric. You made the point about an obsession with symmetry. Plenty of phones observe symmetry when locating the camera
I wasn't the one using the word 'obsession' that was somebody else. And I think most phones only have symmetry along one axis (left/right), not top/bottom in regard to camera placement.
Sweet jesus...
It's getting to the point now where if you're going to add anymore additional lenses to the back, then you need to start evenly splitting them up and putting some of them on one side and some on the other.
That way you can at least maintain some symmetry.

Hol up. Everyone pissed about the little bump on the iPhone X rn
but this. this thing thiccer than kim's booty wtf.

I thought you were the person who originally posted
I was implying that the location of the camera on an iPhone is odd for a company "obsessed with symmetry". Phones often have camera location symmetrical wrt the y-axis. The y-axis is the more relevant axis for symmetry wrt phone design. IPhone camera is asymmetric wrt to both x and y axis.I personally have no obsession, but I think y-axis symmetry for cameras looks better.
So... a few days ago Nokia showed off a phone with 5 lenses and many here thought that was a good idea.. Now there is a random rendering of an iPhone with 3 lenses and people are talking about how dumb it is. Can't say I am surprised.
I think it makes sense Apple goes to a square design or something else that is unique. The vertical lenses were unique at first and now the rest of the competition is following along.

Triple cameras can be really useful giving standard, wide angle and telephoto lens.
I think the game on the hardware side of things is over. If anyone has used the Pixel 3 XL, you will know how Google is doing things on the software side of image processing. I took a photo in a room with my iPhone Xsmax and my friend had the Pixel 3 XL. Photos in low light were literally speaking day and night. The iPhone is focussing too much on the hardware side of things.
