Alleged Leaked Schematic Depicts 2019 iPhone With Triple-Lens Camera in Triangular Arrangement

I know I must be in the vast minority when I say that I actually dig this design over the cyclops design. I mean come on! Come the September keynote Jony Ive and Phil Schiller will somehow brainwash most of us into buying this phone. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I will be one of them lol!

Will definitely take getting used to, and we all know it will grow on roughly everyone here come September...by the time it comes out there will have been 4 horrid clones of this design as well by other companies, just like what happened with the X/XS design...People ridicule the design choices, but realize Apple is probably creating the next generation phones as practically as they can without sacrificing too much for or function, hence why the market will typically follow...
 
So people claim Apple is only concerned about form (design) over function.

If this turns out to be true, what will they say then? Putting in better cameras but making the device less attractive is the exact opposite.

Apple probably didn't issue 'no April 1st jokes directive' like Microsoft did.
It has to be a joke. It must be...
If not a joke, Apple should take notes from the Huawei P30 Pro.

I know it’s a cliché, but this sort of thing would never happen if Steve Jobs we’re still around. Sometimes, what a product team needs is someone to say, “this is sh*t! Go back to work and give me something that doesn’t suck!”

Would I still buy an iPhone like this? Probably. Would I get over the ugly bump eventually? Probably. But Apple could benefit from some harsh, but constructive, internal criticism.

Jobs green-lighted stupid/ugly things as well. He was human.

Design/aesthetics is and will always be subjective.

I don't own the phone but based on the comparisons on youtube the Mate 30Pro falls behind in terms of colors and dynamic range by a big margin. Not even close to the iPhone XS Max. Ultrawide camera is also worse than the Samsung's. Video stabilisation of the Mate is pretty good and best in class, and zoom is also best in class by a big margin. Night mode is also (again) best in class on par with the Pixel 3. But the rest is not even close.

4K 60fps -> nope
Front facing 4K -> nop (only the Samsung does)
Video dynamic range -> worse
Video dynamic range at 1080p -> oh my... the iPhone destroys every other phone, and the Mate is worse than the Pixel and the Samsung
Front facing video -> probably the Samsung is the better
Portrait mode sharpness (not edge detection) -> worse than iPhone
Bokeh -> seems better than the Samsung's, but worse than iPhone's and Pixel's

For the end user I believe it takes extremely good photos, and the best photos during the night, but it's not the best in day light photography, which for me is still dominated by the Pixel 3 and the iPhone XS.

And that brings me to the issue: the Pixel, with just 1 camera, takes usually the best overall photos. With just 1 camera. I see the benefit of having multiple cameras serving multiple purposes. But the thing is that the Pixel and the iPhone are still overall best cameras around (for me, of course).
 
That’s it. Ive has lost it. Super thin MacBooks we’re annoying from a spec perspective but are truly beautiful machines. But these cameras... FFS Apple just had 2mm to the depth of the iPhone, improve the aesthetics and give us extra battery life!
