Best looking too.The X and XS were the perfect size for me, too.
I am thinking more like "Naw"I think that for many people it will be Aw instead of Awe.
Well, I agree with you. That people always claim the end is near for Apple, You also need to remember. There have been many Apple like monopolies throughout history. Many are gone now! In retail. Sears once dominated the world now, they're gone. Back in the day, Zenith and RCA sold all the televisions. That didn't last long. They were replaced by Sony and they themselves almost disappeared a couple of times in recent history.. Steve Jobs himself famously said once that he was using Sony as his target when designing the first Macbooks because they were so forward thinking back in the 2005 2008 time frame. They don't even make computers anymore!More Apple is doomed... Again.
Yet Apple's 1+ Billion active and repeat customers continue to open their wallets and purchase Apple products. Year after year after year. Making Apple one of the most successful consumer tech companies in the world. A pretty good trick for such a doomed company.
The irony of the "sheep buy whatever Apple sells no matter what" is that one of the biggest reasons I use an iPhone is that they get software updates much longer, and are easier to get OEM service for (i.e., take to the Apple Store for a battery replacement).Yup... Apparently Apple customers have no agency over their lives. They're all living under Tim Cook's magical spell!
What's astonishing is that some people really believe that.

100%. Apple could fail or Apple could fall into a boondoggle in the future. If we’re going to prognosticate Apple could fail aka. Laclverry let’s also prognosticate Apple will cash in.Well, I agree with you. That people always claim the end is near for Apple, You also need to remember.

The bump on the previous iPhones was solid glass and purely cosmetic. By switching to aluminium they can mill the back to create a recess, which when extended the full width of the chassis, allows room for larger components like a periscope tele lens and an upgraded front camera. Hence also the shift of the flash and lidar units… though having the flash off-axis will make for ugly shadows in some orientations.Apple is redesigning the camera bump, though it's not quite clear why.
iphone 17 mini with a flush mounted camera, please
Samsung and Google (Pixel) have been advertising seven years of OS updates for a while, and the EU requires five years of OS updates for smartphones now, counting from the date the last unit of the respective model was manufactured (so in practice six to seven years after launch as well). Apple doesn’t have a unique value proposition here anymore.The irony of the "sheep buy whatever Apple sells no matter what" is that one of the biggest reasons I use an iPhone is that they get software updates much longer
I find it hard to believe how people can get so passionate about a camera bump. How much of your day to spend staring at the back of the phone versus the screen anyway?I much prefer the wider bump than the non-symmetrical current one.
True. It just looks like it will rest on a flat surface betterI find it hard to believe how people can get so passionate about a camera bump. How much of your day to spend staring at the back of the phone versus the screen anyway?
