Exactly we knew the design/colors of the 5C, 6(S), 6(S)plus, 7, and 7 plus way before they were announced.

iPhone 8 Exclusive: Apple's New Design 'Confirmed'

My needs are very basic. While nice, amazing photos aren't required when 99% of what I take pictures of are the contents on the shelves at the grocery store, so my wife can decide what she wants me to buy.
I'd much rather have less amazing photos of Blue Bunny ice cream if it means the camera is flush with the back.
A thing I won't be embracing, the camera bump. Sorry. There are other options. Perhaps not Apple options but I didn't follow Apple to Intel either (I am still firmly in the PowerMac/PowerBook era) just because it was the path Apple chose.
Why would you apologize and say "Sorry" for something that you don't appreciate? It's your preference. I would just take action on it and utilize your options for options this Fall to find other hardware. You obviously lack appreciation for the camera bump and the iPhone design for the past three Years. Just my opinion, but I don't think the iPhone is for you if it bothers you this much where you consistently referring to it as "Fugly" , which clearly you have already contemplated abandoning The iPhone before.
Granted I know you jailbreak and have been an iPhone user for quite some time, but I would highly encourage you to Find something esle if it's that much of a disapproval for you over the camera bump and lack of physical changes.
Allow me to say this, even if Apple chooses to use a protruding camera for the sake of making a device thinner and lighter, all I can ask for is to take quality photos and videos, which means Apple subjects us to a protruding camera, so be it. I also have an appreciation for the iPhone and I find aesthetically pleasing, but I also don't have to expectations to have every year with the iPhone to be different. The iPhone just works for me and it's well made.
The reason I won't abandon The iPhone, is because their ecosystem of course is well-known, their hardware and iOS is unrivaled, and their customer service is superb when you least expect it. If you think you can find any of those other contributors with another phone manufacturer, then I certainly wish you luck.

Nobody can make that judgement until the phone is revealed. Hell, even the price is speculation. It might be 1100, it might be 1500. It might be something else.
It doesn't have to be that much thicker though. And I never said Apple make it lighter and thinner than the previous models. Just that they keep it really slim and light.
Makes no odds to me anyway, the bump doesn't bother me.
The way apple would announce it will be quite different , in my opinion.
They will praise the advanced facial recog as recognition/authentication , but will mention that you can still use touchid if you want/need it.

The refined design are 3d models of case manufacturers, but almost no other leaks pointing to that design.
It could look like the picture above.
Who the f*ck cares about a camera bump? If that is the deciding factor for you about getting a phone you really need to get your head checked.
Get yourself a google pixel and ****.
Looool like really a camera bump? Who cares!! Lool the phone is gorgeous bezel less oled beauty.
Oh, it was meant more from a sarcasm perspective, not an apology. But I generally agree with you.
Just waiting to see what happens later this year. We'll be up for new phones in 2018.
The vast majority of leaks are the other design, not this.

It has to be as thick as the camera bump protrudes....the camera protrudes 1-1.3mm.
Yeah, that's the usual kneejerk response I get.
I care. That's who cares.
And if you don't fine. I'm expressing my opinion, not saying it should be my way for everyone else.
I don't need my head checked just because I happen to value aesthetics over function/performance. What I like just happens to be different.
Definitely. I do fine with it on the back on my Samsung but there are times it can be awkward when using a wallet case and I've pushed the flap over to cover the back.
BRAVO I agree 100%. if this is the new iPhone, personally, it looks awful. Will I buy it? Of course, but I have the right to say, it looks average. Absolute no wow factor.
If this is true, I will say no yet again.
Fugly camera bump. Not why I pay hundreds of dollars for a phone. Looks like a part you'd find in an old Erector set.
Case not an option? It's how I've avoided the camera bump on the 6S whilst gaining a (screen) lay-on-the-table benefit & phone protection of course.
Minimalist, thin cases are unobtrusive & don't add much bulk to the phone. Haven't had a phone without one myself.
It's an option, but not one I use. I was actually talking to a coworker the other day and she was surprised it was an issue to me. It's how I know I am in a minority. She always uses a case and buys the iPhone because of iOS and not necessarily for aesthetics. She never even noticed the bump until I pointed it out.
Cases aren't my thing so I notice much more.

Might be we know the reason why now.

I agree, the S8+ screen, while technically large, just didn't seem big because of the length of the phone and the wraparound edges. Also i didnt like the home button and finger sensor embedded in the screen like that, it always took me multiple tries to wake the phone/get it to register. I went back to an older phone. So I hope the new iPhone won't be a copy of the S8.
Fingerprint sensor on power button? Apple's patent might be why they stopped making it when it was on the previous model.
I highly doubt that, but so what? It doesn't mean the iPhone will have it on the power button. If Apple actually did that I would be absolutely amazed. It's just simply poor design. Anywhere but where it currently is, is simply poor design.
Maybe you weren't reading the rest of the thread, have been several mentions of the iPhone power button FPS rumors, not to mention the OP url has it.
Same here. Except it's just an HTML layer and can be turned off in the source code. I never disabled adblock for sites like Forbes. Sneaky, sneaky.
