In the context of this being a mold, the square simply represents the "void" space in the accessory case, not the back of the iphone.
The lenses will most likely continue to be individual bumps as they are in current models.
Think in terms of a negative image.
Must be so difficult to make the iPhone slightly thicker, and do away with the bump…
Meh, just like the stupid notch, Apple fans will adopt it as a supposed sign of 'coolness', thinking that anything without the square bump looks horribly old and dated.
Honestly I would take an iPhone XI with no sensor housing and no camera protrusion. I dont think the cameras on my phone are important at all and face id doesnt seem like a system seller. Typing in a passcode is fine enough tbh
the three lens array can probably be used for things other than traditional photography.. no?
We're so far past the point of diminishing returns with smartphones that, for the first time, I'm completely uninterested in upgrading. A slightly faster processor? It's not like any of us have been tapping our feet, waiting for our phone to solve some complex mathematical equation. A new camera? Great, but each successive generation is just an incremental improvement over the last — and none of them can truly replace a decent MILC or DSLR. Further, it's not like the screen sizes can get a whole lot bigger without completely compromising pocketability. Maybe they could improve battery life, but I don't really have any issues getting through a day with plenty of juice to spare now. While I would never buy another Android phone (been burned twice by that impulse), I at least give props to Samsung for aiming for something truly different with the Galaxy Fold, premature though that effort may have been.
Honestly, Apple should just skip releasing a phone for a year or two and come up with something genuinely revolutionary, instead of just slapping more lenses and a faster processor on the existing model. Maybe I'm wrong and there WILL be something truly amazing inside the next iPhone. But I'm skeptical. And the sad thing is, all they'd really have to do to convince me to upgrade would be to ditch the lightning cable for USB-C.

I think it's pretty ugly. But I also think this is what Apple does: They know it's ugly. So they, themselves, leak the design so we as consumers get used to it and think it's not that bad when it's actually released. In fact, they probably leak a slightly uglier version so the final, revised one doesn't seem as bad.
/conspiracy theory
The way it encroaches on the Apple logo is so ugly. If the cameras were in a row it would be passable (just). Not this.
Apple’s iPhone is cheating. It’s trying to be a thin phone, but its camera sticks out like a sore thumb. My BIG issue with protruding cameras is that the devices don’t sit flat on a table. I shouldn’t need to buy a case for my device not to wobble on a desk. This is especially true with iPads that have protruding camera units. They wobble when put down on a table.
Fix - make the phone slightly thicker, and reduce the bezels further. No protruding camera, not weight increase. THANK YOU.

I cannot wait for this phone to come out so that the XS Max drops in price!
In all seriousness, I’ll reserve my judgment for September but it’s looking like it’ll be a lackluster update so far.

Agree. This isn’t a conspiracy. This is what happens. If Apple wanted to keep this top secret, it knows how to keep it secret. Right here, Apple is priming customers so that the release device isn’t as rejected by the audience. But unfortunately it is time to reject these devices. People are paying over $1000 for excellence, not compromize.

Nope. It’s still an issue.
What is so controversial? Apple doesn’t have much of a choice. They want their phones to stand out from the competition. The only way to do this is to avoid the 3 in a row layout. It’s also why they will keep the notch even though they could get rid of it if they wanted to.
In addition over 90% of people out their brand new phone in case immediately which makes this even more irrelevant.

“It’s not really all that bad looking.”
Would love to see that on the promotional posters.
Awful. I'm so glad that Apple choose this design. A good reason not to buy it. And I like all iPhone designs before.
