He was in charge of the first camera-bump iPhone 6 and loved thinner above all else so that decision wouldn't give you a thicker phone with no bump.

iPhone 14 Cases Offer Best Preview Yet of Relative Camera Bump Sizes

Just going by past years, approximately 100 to 150 million people. That’s a LONG way from being “everyone”, but it’s enough to make Apple a nice profit.
Wait, your phone won’t rest on a flat surface? Wish I had one of those floating phones!
The 4S and 5 are probably the most beautiful designs in an iPhone.
With that said, I do support the camera improvements, Physics is on the way here, they cannot possibly shrink the camera bump without loosing imaging capabilities. I can only see three solutions: 1) Make the phone slightly thicker, 2) Invest in ultraprecise periscopic technology, 3) Go back to tiny cameras ?.
???? my trypophobia!!! I am reporting this thing.
The l16 was just missing the phone part, BUT it did run Android!
Someone else beat me to it
I don’t think future phones would need this many lenses, though. Using a smaller number of higher resolution lenses combined with computational photography should provide much greater functionality than the ISP they used here.

I’m cool with the larger bumps as long as that camera keeps getting better. What other reasons are there to upgrade other than camera and spec improvements at this stage anyway? Keep the camera upgrades coming Apple.
As someone who rarely uses the camera and was perfectly happy with the module in the iPhone 5, this is just stupid. I'm still wishing Apple had just used the SE module for my 13 mini.
Unfortunately this is true for many products nowadays
Just look at the car industry... most cars just get bigger and uglier.I’m surprised nobody pointed out the 13 Pro Max case pictured here has a camera cutout much smaller than the actual camera cutout, just to make the 14 Pro Max cutout look hilariously huge. The current cutout on my Pro Max takes up about half the width of the phone. Half of you with the Pro Max should turn your phone over and see for yourselves. This post is fake news!
It's been a year or two, treat yourself to a new case for your expensive phone.but just enough that you need to buy another case
It's my understanding that the four cases pictured are all (alleged) iPhone 14 cases. So the smaller cutouts would correspond to the non-"pro" models.
Everybody likes dick also less to do the bump ?
The fear is the quality of the picture show the camera pump be too small however if Sony Xperia one mark three and one Mark IV can come close to the 12 and 13 Pro camera quality then are we missing something?
If the yields get better with AOD, they could happen. The problem is any potential new technology has to be able to be reproduced 100 to 150 million times at a decent price with low failure rate to be considered for an iPhone. So, an Android phone line with some new cool technology that only hopes to sell 5-10 million in a year is an entire world away from the scale required for an iPhone.
That’s already a thing with official Apple cases since the iPhone 12, it’s annoying as hell
seeing how bad apple keeps forcing beauty filters and digital sharpening it’s going to look the same, ugly over sharpened too much HDR effect photos
