You work at Apple and know their decision process?

The arrogance of some of these people sheesh... ridiculous ignorance.

You don’t have to work at Apple to know physical objects take up space.

Lol clearly you can’t think clearly. You choose your opinion as fact.

I’m done with this stupidity. I don’t need to waste time with blind ignorance. Goodbye.

This is the iPhone 8 Plus. See that Horizontal dual camera module? See how far it comes toward the center of the device? Now think about two more facts: the iPhone 8 Plus is exactly 7.2mm wider than the iPhone X, and the dual camera module in the iPhone X is considerably larger than the iPhone 8 Plus module because it has the flash and microphone placed in-between the cameras.

Do you understand yet? It’s really simple.

Both reasons are correct...internal component configuration and stereoscopic
lensing.....https://www.phonearena.com/news/Her...e-8-to-have-a-vertical-dual-cam-setup_id93555
That article is complete BS. They know absolutely nothing about AR. It’s vertical for one reason and that is space. The aesthetic reason doesn’t count because Apple wanted it vertical for the iPhone 7, but they knew they couldn’t place it vertically with the current technology, and the same for the iPhone 8. Both of those do not use the much more cost-prohibitive multi-layer logic board, which is responsible for allowing the vertical orientation (along with other things).

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Apple has been using multi-layer logic boards for years.

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. The iPhone X has a stacked logic board, which has never before been used in another iPhone. It’s what allows the X to have a slightly larger battery than the 8+ inside it, despite being only slightly larger than an 8. (X has two battery packs to form an L shape)

The stacked logic board is what the person you quoted was referring to.

Also the X has the Neural Engine, which I believe, on top of it doing a lot of the legwork for the TrueDepth sensors it does play into AR too.

The so-called neural engine is part of the A11 bionic in any iphone. Even the snapdragon 835, has a neural engine/network. Its part of the processor's/gpu's overall architecture. Just a fancier way of giving it some detailed wording.

A stacked logic board is entirely different than a multi-layer logic board. And yes, they are indeed using it for the first time in the X.
Additionally, in terms of AR...I was involved in AR 10 years ago utilizing both single and multiple camera implementations. The technology you will see in the X has its roots in code that my previous company developed. So, I know a little bit about AR.

And your post has any relevance to what I said how?

I said the Neural Engine helps with AR. Which is true. The Neural Engine handles things like FaceID, Animojis, AR and other machine learning.

Who cares what snapdragon has, and no where was snapdragon even mentioned or questioned.

Shhh. You can't give him facts and logic! That's against the rules here!

IGNORE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!

Keep the hate alive bro!

Yeah keep believing in the Apple jargon.:rolleyes:

No it does not make a difference. Think about it. You have a 8 plus with Horizontal cameras. Then you turn it landscape to take a video. Now your cameras are vertical

So you're saying the 8 plus takes better pics in portrait than landscape? Jk.
Good analogy.

Multi-layer = stacked. See definition for ‘layer’. Apple has always placed chips on the top and bottom of the singular logic board or the singular ‘layer’. Once you make two or more of those then you have ‘multiple’ layers.

Keep telling yourself that. And that the camera hump is necessary too, despite competitors not needing it. :)
Just one question for you: Do you actually not believe that Apple turned the camera module vertical due to internal space, or are you just saying that it wasn’t the only reason they did so?

As for the camera protrusion, competitors either have worse cameras, or they have thicker devices. Let’s give you facts you then do what you wish with them:

iPhone 8: 7.3mm (protrudes)
iPhone 8 Plus: 7.5mm (protrudes)
iPhone X: 7.7mm (protrudes)
Google Pixel 2 XL: 7.9mm (protrudes)
Galaxy S8+: 8.1mm (slight protrusion due to ring around camera module)
Galaxy Note 8: 8.6mm (slight protrusion due to ring around camera module)

As I stated previously...it is both for utilization of space...AND...AR optimization.
As to stacked versus multiple layer logic boards.....Logic boards have been using multiple substrates (or layers) for a long time and the number of those substrates has increased with smaller die sizes and technological advances. Stacking multiple logic boards, versus arranging them on the same plane is new to the iPhone. So, in essence they are "stacking" multiple substrate boards.

He won’t listen to facts. Too busy hating on everything Apple.

That always made me curious. Then, why not have the ability to make a photo always in landscape mode if physical phone orientation doesnt seem to matter? Or does it?
 
I don't think it will make a difference. The X will have a slight edge on picture quality due to components, but it's just a component space issue.
