After all we all know how purple fog can be

Why did they go with that camera bump, other phones are trying to eliminate it but apple has decided to enlarge it lol at least the reg iphone 17 kept the small oval bump

Oh dear that camera bump is ugly. Hope I get used to it.

Simple solution. If that ugly, don't buy the phone!

I chuckled when I saw the title, guessing they quoted from a Chinese source. In China we call Apple’s silicone case “Liquid Silicone”, referring to its manufacturing process where you use the silicone in a liquid state to make the cases. I think Apple has been referring to their cases just “Silicone”. Although since Apple likes to put “Liquid” in their marketing names such as “Liquid Retina” and “Liquid Glass”, it makes the “Liquid Silicone” name more believable.

I don't think Apple is super concerned about marketshare, and have been pushing into services as they know that hardware sales are going to start dropping. They have said as much.

It's just not an Apple thing, people are keeping their devices (phones included) longer and longer. I can easily see where the common phone upgrade time starts pushing 4 years. It's at 3, currently.

But with a drop in hardware sales comes a drop in services revenue.

Not necessarily if current owners increase their services spend.

Oh damn, everything is gonna be “Liquid” now..

Making cases with individual lens cutouts could go a long way in hiding how ugly this phone is.

Samsung went after Apple over the notch, can't wait to see what they'll come up with for that ridiculous camera hump 😂

What does "liquid" silicone mean?

it means the marketting department has been tasked to find a different buzzword to use on everything this year than "intelligence"
