iPhone ugly edition. I rather not have a diff color bar on my phone. Then again they’re always cased anyway.

Imagine everyone's faces when Apple unveils iPhone 2025 lineup and all of them look just like iPhone 2024 lineup. 😂

Yeah, knowing Tim “milk it as long as possible” Cook, it’s quite possible. However, I think Tim knows it’s time for some visual change.

If true, this does indicate that the camera bar will contain a new and undisclosed new feature. Maybe it’s an OLED TouchBar? 🤣

But seriously, it would be awesome if this was an OLED indicator of some kind.

I’m not sure how beneficial an OLED touchbar at that spot would be. I have a feeling it would be short-lived.

Interesting. The one with two cameras is probably the only one that would have looked attractive with a camera bar.

I was joking about the TouchBar thing because I know it was a hot button issue around here.

However, an indicator of some kind could be a possibility. Knowing Apple, they’re not going to leave a blank space there— it will be filled with some kind of technology.

Then you're buying a phone with a year less support. No thank you. If anything, they should drop the Pro and the Plus, and just have the regular and Pro Max..and the SE.

I would be perfectly happy with the regular model, and it would have a bonus of being lighter...I have never liked the weight of the Pro and I don't care about phone cameras.

At the end of the day, someone isn’t going to Android because they have to pay $100 more for a phone…. And for most people that’s $100 over a three year span.

Will be surprising to see this. Wonder why Apple will not have a uniform design across all the four models. Apple will of course be saving cash from not having to redesign a model.

ya'all wanted some design changes so there you have it. New camera layout xD It will not look as good as the current one...

I would rather they not do this design on any of them.
