I thought we were done putting the better camera in the phablet, why would Apple go back to the retro scheme? I hope this rumor is false.
Got a tip for us?

It certainly looks nicer, but please take 2 seconds to think about how hard this would make shooting landscape photos and videos. Where would you hold it?
Yea that’s what I was thinking. There’s a lot going on in the center top and I’m not sure there is enough thickness there to house it all. This design does look good if they can pull it off. Then again, iPhone has never had a center camera so....
Agree 1,000%. The last rumor, the camera was absolutely hideous. We're getting there. At this pace, the rumors should have the camera render nailed by early summer.
I prefer the omni-camera approach...
And what 5G service are you going to be using in October?
Definitely better than the last one I saw, but to be honest - it really doesn't make a ton of difference to me what the back of the phone looks like. Maybe even the whole phone considering we are moving to just a slab of all-screen glass. I care much more about software and silicon moving forward than I do about design.
I charge my phone every night whether it needs it or not, and I've never seen it below 40% by the end of the day.
The only thing I can see that would maybe push people is no more notch and a better price. For most people the cameras are good enough or they have a dedicated camera if they are photography buffs. If this is also limited to just the XS Max it will be met with consumer indifference.
I like that better, but they’re both bad.
Remember, these were the original leaks for the “iPhone 8”

But not by much. This is still hideous, just less hideous than the other one.
Ehh, no thank you! I personally think that is ugly as can be.
Also, as others have pointed out above me, the TrueDepth Camera System components are all at the top end of the phone, so I cannot see how they could fit the TrueDepth System along with components for the fairly advanced rear cameras!
Of course if “Sir Ive” retires and Apple products are allowed to get thicker to aid with the function of Apple devices that would help, but not in this situation.

Interesting to see what they will be doing this year, but certainly will be squeezing more life out of my iPhone X (2017). Still has 95% battery health. Should carry me through 5 more iOS upgrades.
The design of this looks commodity like; its as if Apple is focusing on making it as affordable to make so maybe they can bring prices back in line with previous years. The $1000 smartphone came and went and was just a fad that has not only affected Apple but Samsung.
With a saturated market, you want to sell more of these, not less and $1000 does not do that. The rich who can surely afford it are not buying either. I have seen many celebrities and professionals still sporting 7’s and 6s.
