iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Hands-On: Much-Improved Cameras Within Unsightly Bump
- Thread starter MacRumors

- Sort by reaction score
Apple have received a lot of hate over the pass few years for their hardware, with a lot of references to missing Steve Jobs and wondering what he would think of the current state of Apple, and today's release. I'm one of those people.
For all those Tim Cook defenders you have to be wondering the same thing after today surely?
"Unsightly" - that's a strong word I haven't heard used in reference to an apple product before.

Lololol....you mean as sleek as last year?

New pre order time......
Probably changing to get all the help need to make this ‘the best launch ever’. So they always say.

Does the “competition” have a built-in UWB system for handling precision location?
It was a joke
don’t take it seriously. Although I agree they’re too slow these days, but I also agree with your statement. They could just find a couple of new things, say hard YES to them and bring them to market and redefine it just as they did in the past.
It matches the color, but it seems like the square has a glossy finish, and the rest of the phone is matte. It kind of makes it look ..strange.
I’m pretty sure it was mentioned the Pro’s can playback HDR content with Dolby Atmos sound.
Don't give up your day job-comedy's not your thing.

What will you say as people vote with their wallets and Apple sells over two hundred MILLION phones this year?? When they sell more than Steve Jobs ever did?? When Apple garners over 90% of the entire smart phone industry's profits?? It must hurt hating on some company that keeps making you look silly.
...and through all the excitement of the camera bump, no one mentioned a VERY important thing.
The Mute switch. I hope THAT hasn't changed. From the OG iPhone through the XR/XS series, that particular item has been the same. As comforting(and reliable) as a morning sunrise. As smooth as an excellent Brandy(Scotch works too!). I'll mourn it's passing if a change has been done...

Comes down to this: the phone is thinner than they can get decent cameras for, as yet. Maybe the phone doesn't need to be quite that thin? It'd also be able to fit a USB-C then, as well as having a less obvious bump.
OTOH, if you have a case, that probably makes up the thickness, so it's not so odd looking then. Worked that way with the 2-cam iPhone X, anyway.
Come on, guys and gals. It’s the back of the phone. How often do you look at it? And you’ll all get used to it anyway. JMO.
Leave it to Pixel 4 to take the ugly array throne.
On a serious note there is a bold claim on apple's website 11 Pro takes the highest quality video on any smartphone. Highest quality in what? Bitrate? Color gamut? Noise reduction? Number of dropped frames?

I think it’s 2 cameras on the front. One that specializes in taking the portraits and the other is wide angle
Logical usability. How could you properly preview a wide shot when the screen is in portrait orientation? In other words, when the phone is vertical, the reasonable assumption is a portrait photo. When you turn the phone horizontally, the reasonable conclusion is you're trying to capture a group photo or the like.
When you put a case on it looks more flat and much nicer. A friend of mine makes these for the new iPhone and I think they make the bump sort of vanish
I fail to understand the purpose of lowering the "bump" only to have the camera lenses protrude just as far anyway. It doesn't seem any more elegant to me. If the bump needs to be there to have the feature so be it, don't try to pretend.
For comparison, look at the dual-camera config yet, not two steps. :: shrugs :: It's not significant to me because I'm sticking with my decision to wait until 2020.
The pricing on the Xr is aggressive and the 3 camera design on the Pro looks seriously good, far better than leaks.
I wish I owned a lot more Apple shares because they just got serious with selling more phones and services and wearables are going to explode.
