Was honestly hoping for a flat back, but it'll be in a case anyway. Honestly I'm liking the pill and dot cutout. I think it's nice to just see something different besides the notch, even if it never bothered me.
 
At this point, we are less than six months away from an announcement. I'll just wait on the final product before I make a decision on whether I'm getting the 14 Pro Max or not.

Can we get some iOS 16 leaks? Lol.
 
These holes are the worst what they can add - asymmetric, worse than notch 2gen (2nd is higher and probably still goes hides part of movie even with black stripes on sides). 1st gen I have in 11P is all ok

Still no place for mini jack ? :)

If the camera cut out rumors are true. Now that it is on an iPhone with TWO cut outs, is it still more distracting than the notch?

I wish Prosser was right and Apple would just hide the current camera bumps by increasing the overall thickness of the iPhone. Keeping the bumps AND increasing the sickness does not sound like an elegant solution. Neither does the new notch with two separate holes taking up probably the same amount of useable screen space as the current notches of iPhone 13 line. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That rumoured iPhone SE 2023 with a 5.7” screen and TouchID in the power button starts sounding more and more appealing.
 
I was really hoping for a flat backside so that the phone could lie flat on a surface. If it doesn't have that, the iPhone 4-like design doesn't excite much; I'd still have to put the phone in a case to use it day to day, which I wouldn't have to do if it were flat.
 
Developers are still going to have to build their apps as if there was a notch anyway so the pill and cutout barely makes a difference.
I agree, it's probably just so the new iPhone seem new and different. Until they perfect under display cameras and sensors that's not going to change.

So do we want a thicker design or not? Complaints that it's getting too thin and you want it thicker to get a bigger battery, now we're complaining that it's too thick / brickgate...make up your damn minds.
In my opinion it does look a tad ridiculous...like a camera bump on a camera bump...
