Snoozefest.This iPhone better not be a fail
So... once again... because you have a hard time making decisions, I should be limited from being able to choose from a base model, or a "pro" model.
The nasty back bump just got bigger. DISGUSTING. Jony Ive: the surface should be FLAT not with these nasty moles and warts. Let's hire another product designers may be from lamborghini or ferrari, Jony is out of control
These days Apple will source the cheapest "new" camera components that maximizes total profit, even if that means creating an ugly bump or hump on the camera's rear. Apple could very well include a LinX inspired camera module and this technology in their new iPhone, but it would cost them too much money. Supply chain slinging Tim ladies and gentlemen, maintaining profit margins at the expense of innovation. Welcome to the new Apple.When Apple purchased LinX they bought some very sophisticated algorithms and very compact camera hardware designs (from what I understand) With all of this sophisticated camera tech at their disposable. Why do they seem to be going with such a clunky dual-lens system, that's not all that innovative, ugly looking and seems to protrude from the back of the iPhone like a sore thumb? LinX's camera arrays are tiny and should quite easily fit flush on the back of an iPhone. I was expecting to see an array of 4 or more of these lenses, running along the top rear section of the new iPhone. Not an ugly protruding pill shaped window ruining the design of yet another iPhone like those messy antenna bands currently do on the 6/6S. I really-really hope all of what we're reading about Apple's new iPhone camera is wrong, and its just an incorrect rumour.
While Apple does things their own way(doesn't do market research from online forums), maximizing product revenue is something every company does and has to do.I don't think Apple's agenda here is to produce two iOS devices to give us the consumer a choice ...its all about maximising revenue which I don't like but others may be happy with this route Apple has gone. My gut feeling is Apple is struggling with the design aspects at the moment and just produce a bigger or in the iPad a smaller device with no real WOW factor
As a photographer who shoots with my 6+ everyday, I'm stoked about the camera possibilities. Could not care less about what the back looks like - something I don't see with a case which I always use. Also, I suspect the next phone will have the much better display tech that's used in the 9.7" iPad Pro.
could lead to "DSLR-quality" photos on iPhones.
I think the camera on the iPhone became more than enough for post point and shooters as far back as the iPhone 4s. Anyone asking for more is looking for details the average user who shares their photos on Facebook or ruins them on Instagram with filters doesn't.
I hope they have more than one model. I can't stand anything smaller than a 5.5 inch display. But I know some can't stand anything bigger than the SE. I want choices not everyone wants a one model fits all approach. But I do agree about fragmentation part. just make everything the same across the line except screen sizes.
I hope you also think the iPhone 6 is ugly because the leak is not significantly different from that except that it has none of the "ugly antenna bands" that everyone complained about before.
Or maybe it's the pill-shaped camera lens. I don't know how Apple could possibly put out a product with a shape like that.
Do you think the following actually looks better, with the same off-aligned camera from the 6 series and another slapped on?
Please tell.
Also, you can't just say, 'Well I prefer the 5.5" and so do lots of people blah blah anecdotal evidence inserted here blah blah'. IIRC, the split was 80/20 a couple of months after the iP6 launch.
Owh come on, the iP6 is a really ugly design when compared to the Slate Grey 5. I used to take that out of its case to clean it and leave it out for a couple of days because it was so darn cute.
Me too. If I am out running around I use the phone. If I know I will be taking pictures I take the dslr.I laughed.
to be honest the whole dual lens camera idea sounds like a desperate attempt to pretend there is innovation..
that picture and design if real looks disgusting.if its real and Ive designed it,it means his days are over,time for retirement from design.IT'S VERY UGLY.
I don't understand your use of the word "unfortunately". I bought the iPhone 6+, and being in "the minority" was not a problem for me at all.Unfortunately, if you buy an 5.5" iP, you are in the minority of new model iP purchasers. Apple can't afford to shoehorn lots of flagship features into a form factor that quite a significant proportion of their customers don't want. The way I see it is that they're implementing it in the device with a smaller userbase, improving it, then releasing it on the phone people actually buy, (eg. OIS). The major reason for putting it into the + is simply utilisation of additional space (and margins, but if the MacRumours articles are anything to go by on component price, that's less of an issue).

Would you prefer different iterations of OS X too?
the iPhone 7 launch is going to be a mess... One phone clearly will have more hardware features than another, design looks to be pretty much the same, probably will still be 16gb models
