If i had the talent Ive has, I wouldn't want to stick around either.
There has been nothing particularly pioneering since the iPhone 5.
All apple products are now essentially rounded rectangles. Not exactly exciting when you have Ives' creativity.
Either he is being told what to produce or he feels he's hit a creative wall based on accounting and units.

I honestly miss Forstall. I hope his name keeps getting brought up. They should get him back.
"How can we top the notch in ****** design? I know, we'll add a tumor on the back of the phone."
Wow, first the camera bumped out, and now this? A group of 3+1? These things are getting ugly, fast.
the notch only bothers people who don't own the phone.
and the camera bump..who care what a phone looks like,,its in a case anyway

Function over form.
The notch fades away after you use it and the camera bump just means more and better cameras.
I'll put it in a case and upgrade from my XR!
I gotta say, these iphone designs are getting uglier & uglier every release. Just my two cents on this topic.
Okay, but that would almost mean that Apple was developing their product using 'beta' modem chips. Seems really risky to do something like that. Intel blowing something like this seems out of character, but... *shrug*
What makes everyone think the notch design is going away anytime soon? Didn't they say when they launched the iPhone X that it would be the foundation design that would take them through the next 10 years?
I’ve been reading all the articles and I still can’t tell what he actually did bless and what he lethargically and apathetically let slip past. At this point I’m willing to believe the Keebler elves just took over.Heh, but based on the most recent story, there's a good chance he didn't look at any of them.
Well anyway the design looks a little funky and I know as always, my finger is going to end up in a lot of the pictures because the lenses are too close to the edge where I brace the phone as I snap the photo. But...I’m pretty excited to be upgrading and moving on from one lens on my Xr to two or 3. Not sure yet what I’ll be able to upgrade to.
I’m not expecting miracles or Da Vinci levels of design this year. I just want a modest upgrade. The Xr has been a good workhorse.
You do realize Forstall had nothing to do with hardware design?
I'll be very interested to see how the market reacts if these phones are basically a spec bumped iPhone XS/Xs Max with a wide angle camera that has been available on some competing smartphones for months at the same price as they are currently.
Here in the Uk the Samsung S10 can be had for £200 less than iPhone XS, the S10 base model has double the iPhones 64gb storage and already has the wide angle camera feature.
These phones aren't even competitive with the other flagships, same for a lot of European markets.
i sent my CV to Apple already, for the position "Chief Design Officer". it seems working at Apple has less pressure and workload than in my current company
Can i still speculate on here....If so, here’s my guess on the new form camera bump...the bump will allow for magnetic camera attachment/lenses.
Who wants an even thicker, heavier phone? Who needs more battery when there’s already 60% battery left at the end the day?
The design is the same! Only thing different is the camera layout which is at the back which will bring big advancements.
Im sure the camera quality will be great! Still ugly tho... An iPhone XE design would be stunning! Regardless, not buying another iPhone with a lightning port... USB-C or no upgrade for me. Tired of all these various ports and cables. Commonality, Apple, commonality.
I don’t expect iPhone to ever have USB-C. It’s a worse physical connector than Lightning and unlike the iPad Pro, wouldn’t add value to iPhone with any new features. Lightning already accommodates fast charging via USB-PD and how many iPhone users would benefit from 10 Gbps data transfers?
I don’t want to have to buy a bunch of new cables/chargers just so a few people can carry one less cable when they travel.
