Couldn’t agree more. It’s not even April. I’m sure Apple is testing different prototypes for functionality and look. I can’t imagine Apple just throwing this on an iPhone and calling it a day. But I love your point. Who cares what it looks like as long as it can take awesome pictures.
Got a tip for us?

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

Would be fine if it didn't have the bump. Not only does it look bad, but it makes the phone wobble when placed on a table.
These things are getting uglier and uglier and uglier and uglier...
I'm bored, wake me up when there's at least 28 cameras arranged to the shape of 'T' (like Tim). And when the phone is no thicker than 2mm. Of course.

That is just so non-apple. But - I thought so also with the notch as well. I do not know what to think. At least center it?!
Or think about it the other way: If Apple is so insistent on a corner camera, then a triangular arrangement and wider camera bump means Apple could angle the bottom of the bump in a way that lets the phone rest on a flatter part to reduce wobbling. Probably not enough for if you press on one of the opposite corners, but better than letting it wobble on a rounded part.

Remember how we all would go on and on about Apple's design prowess. How their standards were so high, that even the smallest of details, like the symmetrical alignment of ports and grills mattered. Remember how we were disgusted and loved pointing our fingers at the Android phones that didn't exude these standards? We enjoyed pointing out how ugly the back of Android phones were. And now, here we are, talking about how it now doesn't matter, because we really don't look at the back of our phone anyway. God, it feels good being liberated.
Yes I know and totally agree. I used to be one of those. I stopped caring long ago. In fact there were some paint flaws from the factory when I picked up my new car last November and I didn’t even care. Wasn’t worth my time to complain about and bring back to fix.

Now that’s an instant trigger of trypophobia.
To me the black render with the larger bump is hideous!
There is also another render around that shows a grey iphone with a more proportioned and better positioned camera.
I hope the real thing is closer to that than this one with this huge ugly bump.

Zero chance. We're less than 6 months to launch.
Suppliers have to line up. Foxconn needs to know what welding machines they need to use or order. Apple needs to do radio and environmental testing. FCC and CCC certifications need to be obtained.
But if it does great pics people won't care
Yep, it's all ugly until Apple does it then oh with a case you won't even notice it. Now the camera bump is a feature to many of the die hard Apple fans. If iPhones had the bump and arrangement of the S10 and the S10 had the iPhone camera bump, they would ridicule Samsung. Well they still do, saying S10 looks awful lol.
Bahahahahaha that is the worst, dumbest phone design I think I've ever seen. Jony Ive, how far you've fallen.
Off topic: I'd definitely bring it back for that. Vehicles often get damaged during transport and fixed before they even get to the dealer. Ports of entry have body shops on-site to fix vehicles that are damaged on the boat over here or when unloading. Same for domestically produced vehicles shipped via train or truck. You might have one of these vehicles and it's a good idea to have it checked over by a body person as they'd be able to tell if it's just flaws or a repair.
They can't because the FaceID hardware is in the centre. They'd be forced to drop the cameras down significantly from the top of the phone to clear this hardware.
You do realize that your complaints about Airpods 2 are completely unfounded? You're giving up on a company because they didn't personally fit their earbuds to you + they put too many cameras in their flagship phone? OK, bud.

Why?
I'm not really sure I even care about camera technology anymore..it has been great ever since the Galaxy S8 series AND other flagship phones that came out at that time......but the rear camera for this year's iPhone looks a mess but may perform amazing based on the design array of the lens.
While everyone is blasting the rear design, I'm sure there are more reasons for it and it's mega protruding outline ......Hopefully for the sake of iPhone users this will justify the cost.

yeah it does but if the photos are fantastic then it will be ok...apple needs a bright sight like the pixel. that is one feature every phone needs for low light
But as many other companies have shown the phone does not have to be ugly to make good pictures.
That looks hideous. Why does Apple keep pushing the idea that the camera is the selling point of a smartphone? Have they learned nothing from the regular flip/bar phones? Camera is not a big deal once they are at a "good" point, which has been around for over a decade now.
