Do you think the camera will be flush or protrude on the iPhone 7?

Yes you're right. My bad.
Well it kind of does because it's really hard to scratch sapphire. Even if the Camera was flush it would be just as prone to scratches.
Your statement makes no sense.
lol, no. the risk of having the camera lens being scratched is still a biggie, do you not remember the out cry there was with the protruding camera lens when the 6 came out?
Unless you cannot comprehend basic English, I can't see why my statement would make no sense. That is, unless, you can't find any reason to back up what you're saying.
The glass on the camera and the touchID are sapphire. That means again, unless you are surrounded with diamonds the sapphire glass won't scratch at all. Now the metal rings may scratch but not the glass.
I don't necessarily agree with you, however, it still doesn't change my opinion. I don't think that the camera should protrude, and Apple should keep the same thickness (hell, for all I care go a bit more) for better battery life and a flush lens.
Sorry if I came across rude, no harm meant!
Well I'm right about sapphire first of all. Go do your research. So no harm there. Next, you are free not to buy their products... Apple does not care what you think about their devices. They will always bring out a product that fanatics will buy.
I have a masters in English. Thanks
All I'm saying is that whether its protruding or not, it still has the same likelihood of getting scratched. A protruding camera doesn't automatically mean it's gonna get scratched easier. The same surface area (the lens cover) is exposed either way.
Therefore the statement makes no sense.
Oh, I definitely will be buying a 7 regardless of Apple does. It was more of a preference thing and as far as the sapphire thing goes, it definitely is strong. I'm just saying its still prone to scratches (as hard as it may be to get one though lol).
Oh, I see what you meant. I'm sorry. It's super late here and I'm tired. Didn't mean to offend any of you guys with what I had said.
Tell that to Apple Watch users who have scratched their sapphire display.
People hate it on Android's too, especially since most of those are using plastic or regular glass so they scratch easily.
Yes sapphire is the second strongest material, however it is not "scratch proof" only to diamond, merely just scratch resistant. Sure you can take a key and not scratch it, but rub it against concrete or a brick wall and tell me how "scratch proof" it is.

Depends on whether they decide to make the phone thicker or not.
With the new Apple battery pack launched today I can honestly go either way.

Obviously you've never had your phone around sand.

May I humbly suggest that if you flout your English credentials, you do a better job of proofreading? lulz.

I've yet to see one shred of evidence on these forums which would lead me to assume you're smart enough for anything. The quoted post above included.
You've obviously never lived/worked near the coast/beach.
I don't expect it to be flush.
Quality cameras rely on quality optics which are based on the physics of light. Technology will continue to evolve but most advancements in making cameras smaller pose a compromise to the quality of the images they can produce.
So sometimes a choice must be made, make a camera smaller or make a current camera better.

Who can't tell? Cause I most certainly can. I love my iPhone 6, but the design is nowhere near previous models. The protruding camera, the antenna lines, the slip-out-of-your-hand finish... These are not huge deals, but they are disappointing steps backwards considering apple's supposed obsession with perfection.
