You’re still missing the point. I get that the DI “does stuff”, but it’s stuff the notch could have done had it been programmed to do so.
Of course. But when the DI is inactive its UI disappears.If the DI wants to show an icon, it animates/grows/expands a black section out to the side and shows the icon. There is zero reason why the notch couldn’t have expanded sideways in the same manner and done exactly the same.
The software that makes the DI more than “2 holes with a bit of black screen between them” could have equally done the same for the notch which is “2 holes with a bit of black plastic between them”.
it’s nice to have the option to put the camera lens directly on the ground since the lens are on the side.
No one is surprised that Apple are not happy enough with people buying the Pro Max. So much focus at the top end, with little to no attention at the low end.A higher price tag than the Pro Max model in the iPhone lineup
iPads, too. I know almost no one who uses the iPad camera for anything other than a quick document scan or QR code, so it would be great to sacrifice that bump.I just want the camera bump gone. I miss having a phone with a flush back!
Except the millions that bought the Mini.The 6.1” Pro is a pretty dainty phone, have you held one? It’s the size of the 11 Pro with it’s 5.8” screen, I don’t really remember anyone complaining that that one was too big
That depends on how they center it, if they center it at the top of the phone, then yes. But if they go too symmetrical and try to put it the middle (unlikely thats where they Apple logo goes). Then it would be way worse.Yep. And I’ve always found it annoying that 1) the phone doesn’t sit flat on a table, it wobbles around because of the corner lenses. Less of an issue with cases but still annoying.
And 2) you can accidentally put your fingers over the lenses when taking pics, especially if holding with left hand.
Both of these issues would be mitigated with centred camera lenses.
Regarding space constraints, I used to think that too, until Samsung started showing everyone up with basically no camera bump, even on their smallest phone. So it can be done. Kudos to Samsung’s design department on that one.Yep. The placement of the camera has always felt strange to me, I figured it was because of space constraints.
They will remove or downgrade components to make space. They did that with all their new products. Its how it keeps the profit revenue going.I don't understand how the iPhone Slim can have it at the center if the iPhone Fat can't.
Not really.You’re still missing the point. I get that the DI “does stuff”, but it’s stuff the notch could have done had it been programmed to do so.

It won’t necessarily be ‘above’. It might be just another branch of design catered to those who want elegant slim device and don’t need Pro (Max) camera (most people don’t).If the Slim is above the Pro Max is it really the Max Pro anymore?
There's no bump on my iPad 9th gen, wasnt any on my 5th gen either.iPads, too. I know almost no one who uses the iPad camera for anything other than a quick document scan or QR code, so it would be great to sacrifice that bump.
Liquid Metal!! That's how Apple called it internally.too thin for a USB-C port so portless phone
