iPhone 14 Pro Renders Highlight Multiple Design Changes

I'm shocked that people are discussing the content of the video as opposed to whining about John Prosser. I thought that's what you all did around here?
If phone corner radius continues to match lens radius- and kens radius continues to get bigger and bigger every year as it has been…. iPhone shape will eventually evolve into a hockey puck shape.
Getting tired of the camera bump. At what point does it just make sense to make this thing a full on camera with retractable lens like a Sony Cybershot or something like that??
I like Prosser. He's the only one that calls Apple out on their Sh$t. All of the other "reviewers" just kiss their butt.
I want more reports of a titanium chassis iPhone 14, because that’s something I’d love to have - assuming they’ll continue on with titanium Watch models. I’m ready to replace my 12 Pro Max and keep the 14 Pro or Pro Max (haven’t decided yet), for the next 3+ years. And I really want an updated form with the Watch, as my series 5 has had significant degradation in battery life over the past few months. Depending on what Apple does with the Watch, I may jump over to a Garmin Fenix 7 Titanium / Sapphire. Although I’d be giving up many of the services the Watch provides when I don’t want to bring my iPhone with me while out and about, the Fenix 7 sounds like it gets crazy good battery life and does most of the health tracking I’ve relied on with the Watch. I also really dig the classic round watch form factor.
These renders do look good. The camera bump is going to look huge on the 14 Pro, so I’m probably going to get the 14 Pro Max whenever I get around to getting one, presumably next spring.
I have a 13 Pro now. It was not bad to carry, but if the camera bump and the lenses are going to become more prominent, I will want a more substantial chassis to grip.
In other thoughts, I’m going to start thinking of Jon Prosser as “Ostensibly Accurate Jon Prosser” from now on. 🤣
Lol the same Prosser that said it would look like an iphone 4 with no camera bump

Come November or so (assuming rumor becomes reality), "pill & hole are iconic", "I love the pill & hole", "so much more screen RE NO longer wasted" and "how did we ever put up with that huge, ugly notch?" A few might write something like, "I thought it would really bug me but now I no longer even notice."
Right now, the prime issue is the plausibility that this rumor won't play out. As soon as it becomes real- as soon as "we" KNOW Apple is going this way- pill & hole will gain much acceptance momentum... probably transitioning through a lot of "it's kind of growing on me" and "I'll have to see it in person" ahead of the "big reveal"... before immediately flipping to "shut up and take my money" and "best iPhone ever" as soon as Apple rolls it out.
Over the years, I feel like I've seen the same movie about 50 times.

I think some of the information he gets access to is a bit too ahead of its time.
It's all good, as long as Apple doesn't try adding more lenses to the iPhone Pro's back camera. (4 should be the max).
Otherwise it'll resemble a creepy spider (like some other phones that I won't name).

I don’t care about the front but if it comes with a lightning port again I’ll pass. It’s getting ridiculous.
Oh, I've been thinking of it as a mountain range.
No way around it, those cut outs are hideous. If this was an Android phone, consumers would have no problem calling it ugly. Apple knows a majority of their customer base are blind loyalist, and will buy whatever they put out. It is what it is.
If I had to guess, there are a lot of people, me included, that don’t think twice about the current notch on the iPhone and won’t really think about a pill-and-hole version should that come to fruition. There are so few times that the notch gets in the way of using the iPhone, it’s effectively a non-issue, and the hole punches will play out exactly the same way. Like so many “issues and problems” that tech savvy people have with any device, it’s almost always things that the general population of users wouldn’t even notice.
I still wished that Apple hid all the Face ID sensors in a small black bezel area on top of the screen (when you look at the phone in Portrait orientation). That way, you still get the full screen experience without looking at a notch or screen cutouts.
Looks like the 12 Pro/13 Pro with ever so slightly larger camera module and redesigned FaceID module.
Too many years without any really big changes have gone by. This year seems to be headed in the same direction. Maybe COVID and shutdowns have stalled Apple in its tracks for now
And the same Prosser that said that the Apple Watch series 7 would be a squared off design 🤣
The top bezel would need to be much bigger to house the Face ID sensors ?
