Alleged 2019 iPhone Rear Chassis Appears on Chinese Social Media With Triple-Lens Camera Markings

[CausticSoda]

WTF?! Please no! It is like some horrible cancerous growth. This is functionality over form in the extreme.

 

[MacRazySwe]

It's the antenna bands all-over again. However, this time it's worse!

According to who?

People grounded in reality?

And this year the iPad "Air" and mini are simply recycled inventory parts.

But the quote I was replying to said the iPad hadn’t had one in years plural.

If this design will really be the final one, the day it will be out in the stores, Steve will jump out of his grave, run to Cupertino and fire Tim, Jony and the whole rest of the bunch

 

[bluespark]

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.

Uh, yes, we are worried about the design. But great that you can look past it. I can't.

That would be on-brand for Steve.

And speaking of appearance, the only part I constantly see of my Xs while is on the table is the bottom with asymmetrical holes and an ugly band on the left.
There are tons of beautiful cases I can chose from, so give me the best possibile phone and forget the look

If I pay a premium price for an apple product, I want the best functionality on the market AND a precious design. Otherwise I go and buy Samsung.

 

[ckhris1613]

Samsung is looking better and better

 

[ColdShadow]

This is THE END of iPhone for me.
I will now happily move to Samsung,who know how to design a beautiful phone properly and giving me latest technology as well.

This iPhone 11 image is INSULTING.

Yeah, or Apple worse and worse. iPhone 4 and 5 were design icons for me. Since then, it got worse by every next generation

It’s both,iPhone design looking worse and worse after 5,and Samsung getting better and better.
But this new image if real is one of the worst product designs in history.it’s unbelievable.

What an utterly ridiculous statement.

 

[PickUrPoison]

What an utterly ridiculous statement.

Of course it is! Did you forget where you are? It’s MR forums, home to Apple-hate and astroturfers. Utterly ridiculous statements are their specialty

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Watch Samsung mock this design and then copy it the next year, along with all the other brands

 

[Phoenix1000]

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!

Ha ha, not true. I have an iPhone 8 - quite nice design. Not as good as iPhone 4 or 5, but okay. Wanted to buy a X, but X was ugly. Okay, waited to buy a XS and XS was ugly too. So seems like I have to take care of my 8 a lot because it will have to last much longer than expected

 

[iRutherford]

If this is accurate it's the lack of design & innovation that's the problem. They keep trying to cram more into the same chassis design footprint that we've had for the last 2 years.

If we're being truthful, that chassis has stayed the same since the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (2014). I really don't consider the iPhone X, XR, XS and XS Max as new designs. They just happen to have a notch and got their rear cameras rearranged from horizontal to vertical. Everything else about the phone is the same. Same curves, same design language.

 

[macbeta]

This is incredibly ugly, I wonder how they run something like this past Jony Ive.

Jony has been sleeping on his millions for quite some time. Don't expect him to wake up any time soon...

 

[beermode]

Like a tiny bowling ball.

Samsung seems to be introducing design elements ahead of the iPhone. They already have there cameras, and in a nicer arrangement, and with a trivial hump.

 

[clauzzz203]

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

Getting big fat paychecks for being consistent and getting along, as timmy dictates

 

[Manzzle]

They announce iPhones later in the year, not at WWDC.

Like I don’t know this. The WWDC is just software. But where did you see that I said anything about the WWDC?

 

[AdonisSMU]

iPhone only took a few years for Apple to turn it into the uglyPhone.
[doublepost=1554419767][/doublepost]Id rather Apple not release anything at all if this is what it's going to look like.

 

[cmaier]

Like I don’t know this. The WWDC is just software. But where did you see that I said anything about the WWDC?

You said something about paying $1500, which is the ticket price at wwdc.

 

[LovingTeddy]

it's ugly but androids will copy this just to look like a new iPhone.

I bug your pardon... At least Huawei able to put triple camera with this ugly bump....

 

[dampfnudel]

I read a few times that only the 11 Max will get the triple lens camera. Is this a regular size iPhone 11?

 

[x-evil-x]

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to just design the triple camera horizontally across the top of the phone side to side and thinner straight row.
If this actually comes out I’ll have no words for apples design choices. They can make it look decent the way I said. This is ungodly horrible in every way. Even cheap phones with crappy designers can come up with something better. A 5 year old can come up with something better
