I highly doubt this is a real leak in any way. This is just a 3D representation of what it could be like. If you look at the side of the phone there is the lock button and the SIM card tray, however the SIM card tray seems far too high to be the real placement.
True. I still think it will end up being much ado about nothing (as is usually the case with Apple).
I think I'm suggesting the opposite of that. I was responding to someone that thought the protrusion of the camera due to the thinner design of the new iPhone was no big deal since it was such an insignificant measurement.
I simply asked if the difference was so insignificant, why not keep the (slightly) thicker (same as iPhone 5S) design and use the space for more battery? And avoid having a camera lens that protrudes from rest of the body
mine rocks if you use the bottom right as well as the top left. i think your illustration should just show a red strip going from top right, to bottom left. that would be more accurate. (at least when i tap on my ipod)
my glass table, leather table top, and laquered nightstant will be damaged instead. It's ridiculous and stupid.

I want the phone tho, and i never use a case.
IF this is true - it's 0.77mm of protrusion.
Whilst this will cause some 'rock' when laid flat on a surface, it's going to be TINY in movement.
IF Apple add this simply because the camera module is thicker than their aspirations for a thinner phone then it's an odd compromise to make.

Thick. 7 mm thick. Thin is not a dimension. Would you say that you are 180 cm short???? So sick of this bloody AppleSpeak.
Interesting that 0.67mm is looking like how much thinner the iPhone 6 is than the iPhone 5/5S... No-one ever complained about the 5 being too thick... They complained about battery life. Let's fix what's not broke and **** the rest!
"My iphone5 is far too thick. I can't even fit it in my pocket" said nobody, ever.
Don't most people use their iPhone with a case anyway? I certainly have to, as I drop my phone at least once a week. Phone plus case would be thinner, which is a good thing, and no camera would protrude from the case, which is good as well.
The only other option would be that they make the camera thinner (resulting in worse optics) or they make the iPhone thicker for the one single purpose of not letting the camera stick out. Both options seem silly to me.

You've summed up my thoughts exactly, I think we need a bit of perspective. You'd honestly think this is a life/death scenario the way some people talk about this stuff on here.
That is exactly why you will need to buy insurance and be prepared for costly repairs or replacements.
Right. Because saying "7mm thin" is an Apple phenomenon. Sure. Only Apple fanboys speak like that. Of course.

What about that 2D spirit level thing to see if a surface is flat? That'll work well with a camera sticking out...
As others have said, it is annoying they have gone for thin over a better battery life, yet again.
Finally, in my opinion, what we have seen so far looks ugly. The real thing will doubtless look better, but this just looks like any old Android phone to me. If I didn't want an Apple (since all my other products are Apple), and I didn't want a larger screen, I would not be bothering with this device.

I think you trying to think things through and make sense.
But this is the new and improved Apple Beats, Inc.
Speaking only for myself, I'd consider a dimension of 7mm to be thin, not especially thick. Maybe Australians are thick? I'm in California.
How would it wobble? You have four resting points regardless of the protrusion. That camera ring is not going to dominate the top of the phone and balance the thing.
