Just give me a bigger battery on the 5.8 and reduce the notch if possible.

That's all
 
I bet all the Apple stock I own that this years iPhone doesn’t look anything like that on the back. That mock-up looks like someone just bolted a square onto the back of the phone. No way will the real thing look like that.

I hope you are correct, as we have heard similar words in the past.
 
You mean like this?

Yes. Look at how shallow the Galaxy hump is. And it is centered, so it rests nicely in it's back. And, IMO, looks much better than what Apple is doing.
 
This is beyond hideous. Unfortunately, early leaks always turned out to be true so get ready for the uglies iphone to date.

More bulk and their cameras are not even the best anymore... hell the iPhone camera isn’t even second best anymore.
Sad truth.

Oh my the drama, the DRAMA! I'm just going to wait and see what they'll show us in September before letting out my inner drama queen...
Have you noticed that in the past few years those leaks were actually correct? I used to hope that these things are just ********. Like the silly antenna lines on iPhone 6 when it leaked and said to myself that surely Apple won't release such hideous thing. Sure enough they did.
So as hideous as this thing is I fear again that Apple really lost it and we will get this monster in september.
To be honest, I really wish that Apple fails sooner or later. They need a really flop iphone year so they get a wake up call and try harder. Apple has been sail smoothing this for way too long and its starting to show. Even the best football team in the world needs to lose from time to time to learn and improve.
So, can we get a year that is truly a flop, please?

Looks like a tumor on a mobile device...

Especially if they continue with the design mistake of the camera sticking out like many phones now have.
Just wish they made the phone a bit thicker to hide the camera more inside.


That is exactly what I thought too.

The iPhone appears to be developing elephantiasis.
 
Everyone’s worried about the design and not what the potential this camera has to offer in terms of technology. The results are what I care about, more than anything, I want to see what this camera Can show us what advancements Apple made.
Apple was always about designing a beautiful products that everyone wanted to use. Thats how they got where they are now. Recently, the designed element slipped so regardless how genius the tripple lens setup is the design is simply awful and if Ive signed on this then maybe its time for him to step aside. This cannot possibly pass Ive's pickiness

Pretty sure it's legit. It's Cook & Co's Apple we're talking about.

They have a design team of a few hundred people. What are they doing all day? What is Jony doing all day? Same Mac, and iPad designs for years, and now phones with the ugliest camera barfbump in the business. I really don’t get it anymore
Haha! “...ugliest camera barfbump...”

I actually laughed out loud. Good stuff! I’ve been calling these designs the ‘birthmark’ phone, but ‘ugly camera barfbump’ is SO much better!

I'm actually starting to wonder if Apple is legitimately trolling all of us with these "leaked" images and renders to throw us off the trail. Would it really surprise anybody at this point? They've had so many accurate leaks over the years and I'm sure it infuriates them.

I just can't wrap my head around how Jony Ive would let this design pass over his desk. It just doesn't make any logical sense.

3 cameras only? Pff. Dealbreaker. I'm not paying for this thing until it has twelve cameras at the very least! I demand more cameras, dammit!!

Every year we complain about the new camera bump and every year we line up in droves to keep buying. Apple is pushing their design to levels we never thought possible (in ugliness) because they think that’s what the people want.

The only way they’re going to stop with this nonsense if we don’t purchase the newest iPhone. This one here, if the design is to be believed, is by far the most hideous one yet. I can’t in good faith get excited about this thing. It’s just so beyond bad I can’t describe it. Apple used to make the most beautiful phones around but they’ve lost it this time. Which means this is the real deal going by past history. There’s just too many leaks for it not to be.

The question is....is this the point of no return?
 
God that is ugly. I'm sure there is an internal reason for not centering this array, but geeze... I guess a case will help even things off, but that looks very un-Apple like to me. oh well. maybe won't be as hideous in person.
 
That truly looks awful. Apple, please take a page out of Samsung's book. This is NOT how you do it.

That piece of metal is so easily made, it could very easily be a hoax, or a red herring. Not worth the speculation until there are other components that tell the same story.
 
I know I'm the extreme vast minority but I actually dig this design. Remember we have not seen the front yet.
 
Say what you want, but Apple will figure out a way to make it look amazing as always.
I think it's funny how most of the time the people who comment:"What an ugly design! I'm either switching to Android or skip this year from upgrading!" are most likely the same people who would later on say : " Ok done! Just preordered the iPhone 11 Max 512 gig Space Gray! Can't wait to see this beauty at my front door next Friday!" Oh God ! I swear the mystical powers of Jony Ive and Phil Schiller lol!
