Another Leak Points Towards Controversial Square Camera Bump on All Three 2019 iPhones

As I suspect many have on here, I’ve been with Apple for many years now and am becoming more frustrated with what is happening with designs and pricing (certainly in Australia). I have -also become more frustrated with how badly Siri internet’s my request and have purchased some decent Sony speakers that use Google Assistant that is never wrong. If even I’m feeling that way after so many years, Apple need to be really careful with this new phone as they could lose many customers that don’t have loyalty.

I had a quick look at the Pixel 3a yesterday, which is 70% cheaper than my Xs, (granted different specs) and it’s really quite good, and the camera is superb. Pretty sure I’d move over if it wasn’t for thousands of dollars of iTunes movies and apps etc. Oh, and syncing with my iPad. And Apple Watch. And Apple TV. And MacBook. Oh, and iMac. Ok, what else have the romans ever done for us?

So stupid if this is true.

They mind as well make the case flush and add that much more battery, not only will it look better but the battery life will probably be a few hours greater too.

I will reserve it for in person feel. We almost always talk how ugly the design is yet we pre order.

There were some rumors about a black coating, possibly making the lenses “invisible”... or am I remembering incorrectly? That would look cool and “new”

Anyhow, this design will, as with all other design changes, soon be forgotten.
 
Why are the camera lenses so big ? They've never been that oversized and the X/XR/XS have pretty good cameras. Even my current 7+ doesn't have lenses that big and is still taking good pictures.
 
New food for MacRumors. LOL. I'm just bored of these Gurman-like 'authentic' Photoshop/rendering freaks.

I don't see much of the lenses on my X. Just ignore the bad renderings.
 
Random Question, I can't seem to find it on the web.

Has anyone asked Tim Cook why they keep doing this bump and not just increase the phone body thickness by a 1 1/2 millimeters?

As if only Apple can make those molds.

Honestly, it doesn't even look bad, I just don't like how the Xr doesn't have a proper square.
 
I miss the days when leaks were not so predictable and watching a keynote was exciting to see.

Makes no difference to me. I'm more concerned about camera performance and image quality. And I've yet to be let down with the iPhones I've used.

Apparently not. Otherwise you wouldn’t be concerned about the camera performance.
 
Oh the humanity, please Apple, think of the children. I don't get it. It's like the writer who was outraged that the SF Giants put baseballs in the Stanley Cup at batting practice. I don't get the outrage.
 
I just can't help but see that bump as a 20mm or how ever big mm it is Apple Watch face with camera lenses in it now. Do I want a Apple Watch camera bump on the back of my phone now?
