I agree with this sediment. I want the best camera possible, so I don't have an issue with a larger lens. But I personally would prefer making the whole phone match the lens bump and use that extra space for a larger battery!
Wobbling on a table. Ideal? No.
But are user actually sitting their phones on a table, caseless, and trying to type 80wpm when they text?
I guess I don’t understand. Besides an occasional tap to glance at a notification (which I have a case and it doesn’t move), I pick mine up to use it.

Hard pass. My 12 Pro and 12 Mini are still like brand new and since I won’t be making any movies I certainly don’t need the increased camera capablities or added bulk.
Just hoping it won’t be heavier due to the larger camera. The Pro models are already crazy heavy.
It's not *that* important to me, it's just that taking photos isn't especially important to me and I prefer the look of the phones without a bump. Just like I'd prefer no notch but I accept the need for it.
yeah but by 2010's standards it was great, and I was fine with that. I understand that if you're a social media type then it's important to take nice photos to share, but I'm not especially interested, the camera is way down the list of things I use my phone for, and on balance I'd prefer a sleeker device to one that can take a better photo. don't think that's that weird.
Kodak disposables were great in 1990 also. You don’t need to be a social media type. I don’t have any social media… just want the best photos / videos I can possibly get of my kids as they grow up without lugging my mirrorless camera everywhere. Different needs for different people, but I suspect the camera is probably the most used feature on a mobile phone outside of web browsing and texting. It’s important for it to keep progressing.
RIP to everyone that places their phone face-down on the table because of the giant camera bump, but get called out for being suspicious.
Right, but with a larger bump — the case will have to grow in size as well)
I'm starting to feel the desire for Apple to do something innovative (design wise) with the notch.
I have seen some cooler design from the competition in the last 2 years.

I think everyone would love that; there would also be a battery benefit with the added space.

I really hope these camera modules are dust free. I hate the fact that the dust gets stuck inside the camera modules. It's so hard to clean.
Well, this depends on the model and the materials used. I use a 12 mini, personally, so could easily pick up that extra weight.
Eventually you won't even need accessories to use the new MacOS feature "continuity camera".
The bump will be big enough to just "hang" it onto your screen

The 48MP, better sensor is tempting, I still think I will hold out until next year's phone. HOPING for that better "periscope" zoom.
An unrealistic render that will never happen? This is thinner than the the 13 Pro which means the camera would be crappier and the battery life would suck. It’s amusing how people always complain about form over function but then share unrealistic renders that are 100% about looks.
As long as the "pixel binning" on-device works really well, then I'm ok with a 48mp camera. Otherwise, each raw photo will be around 50MB in size in order to be fully available in photo software.
