I'm pretty sure there is NO front facing camera. They may have added more room to the right so it doesn't look offset, you know, just to even it out.
Got a tip for us?

I'm Sorry, But More Front Facing Camera Evidence

I thought he was appropriately harsh. The original poster stated that he knew it was discussed a thousand times yet it appears he hasn't read any of those discussions. Then he later replies to the "harsh" poster to get HIS facts straight when his post was completely factual (except the sarcastic part).
Seriously, the front-facing camera discussion needs to end (not flaming, just frustrated).
The rumors of a possible "extra sensor" has been confirmed to be nothing but an extra proximity sensor as someone has aforementioned.
It's not that I don't want it, I would love for the option to use video conferencing on the iPhone, but it's not gonna happen in this generation... let it go

I second that. Like I said, I started my own thread about it yesterday... We all knew that it wasn't happening... and we decided to put it to bed. Maybe iPhone 4G..
Att isn't going to have that kinda bandwidth.. uh... for a while
I agree! People would use it once or twice and then never use it again. Who cares! We dont need it!
with all these posts of Front Facing Camera, how can you not get your hopes up...
"One More Thing..."
We just need the right app. I would love an app that utilizes a front cam near the ear piece to detect my ear wax levels and notify me if I need to clean my ears

Notify you.... screw that. It'll have tiny lasers that will automatically clean your ear hole out. Trim your sideburns too!
Excuse me for being dumb but what are the advantages of a front facing camera? How do you take a picture of something in front of you whilst still seeing what you are taking a picture of? I understand a front facing camera might come in handy for iChat but thats it.
You're right.
But, there are many things in the iPhone that are single purpose. GPS, for example, can only be used to find your location.
Its not really that I'm dieing for a front facing camera or that its a deal breaker. I wouldn't even use the feature much. Its just that the more features the better.
Also, has anyone read the article about how much money Apple is making off these new phones? They could throw in a front facing camera and still make a good profit.

But why do you want a front facing camera? I really see no advantage in it unless I am being completely stupid and missing something obvious
You are.
Video Conferencing.
People like to see where their faces are positioned on-screen when in a video conferencing call.
With the camera currently situated on the back of the device, u'd either have to be very flexible as a person,
or this is not possible.

But, as long as the price doesn't increase, why not? Jobs has already said that the price WILL NOT increase.
Apple could cripple it's use to just iPhone iChat over WiFi. That would make sense, no bandwidth issue(or at least no more than with any WiFi device) but people can still use iCat when traveling without having to take their notebook.
hmmm looks like the front facing camera is the "Mac G5" Speculation of the iPhone world
Lets face it people...video conferencing on the go is not a viable or pleasant option.
Why do people still want a novelty feature on a phone?

Anytime you like you can walk away from the thread.
My point was that if Apple have not fitted the camera because of bandwidth issues, then there's an easy way to provide it with a useful function while taking the bandwidth issue into account, pleasing everybody to a point.
I use iChat all the time on the go, via WiFi; it'd be novel not to have to lug a big heavy notebook about.
