Trypophobia, its a thing! Makes me really uncomfortable too!
Pretty much
2020 is when the redesign is...why they are projected to sell 200 million phones then
One word: Boring.
Indian blog CashKaro has collaborated with OnLeaks to share new renders of the so-called "iPhone XI" and "iPhone XI Max," providing a side-by-side comparison of the expected successors to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
Both new iPhones are expected to stick with the same 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED displays as the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, but the thickness of each device is said to increase to 8.1mm and 7.8mm respectively as previously reported. Both the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are 7.7mm thick.
Apple's depth measurement does not include the camera bump, so with the slight reduction in size expected there, the change in overall thickness between 2018 iPhones and 2019 iPhones may be negligible.
As widely rumored by now, the new iPhones are expected to feature a triple-lens rear camera system in a triangular arrangement. While the camera bump has a larger square-shaped design, it appears to be less protruding, as the rear panel of each device is said to be formed out of a "single piece of glass."
The renders also suggest that 2019 versions of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will feature a redesigned circular-shaped mute switch within a pill-shaped cutout, similar to the one on older-generation iPads.
Beyond that, the renders suggest that 2019 iPhones will be similar to 2018 iPhones in many ways, complete with the same notch, bezels, stainless steel frame, Lightning connector, speaker grilles, and volume buttons. This would be more or less the same design as Apple has used since the iPhone X in 2017.
In addition to the static images, CashKaro and OnLeaks teamed up to create a 360-degree video of the renders:
Apple should unveil its next-generation iPhone lineup in September as usual alongside Apple Watch Series 5 models and other announcements. While not shown here, a new iPhone XR is also widely expected with a dual-lens rear camera system, up from a single lens on the current model.

Another one: Ugly
I hope they make this ugly beast. I can save $ for when they come to their senses and get rid of the notch and fix that fugly tri-eye getup.
It’s gonna be a switch with haptic feedback and a butterfly design beneath it, just like the current MacBook Pro keyboard.
On my iPhone X, the flash window is the same size as the lens windows and between them - the tiny flash lens makes no sense, especially in the corner. I might could see something like a 4 die with even corner circles hidden by the black coating.
Complaints about lightning charging speed when flash charging has been available all along - just buy an iPad charger for it. And now you can buy a USB-C charge and get a USB to lightning cable for fast charging as well.
If the XI doesn’t pick up the iPad Pro design aesthetic with the throw back to the best Apple designs, the iPhone 5s / SE, I guess I’ll be keeping my X another year.

Ugly the Notch Ugly the camera lens! Oops not sure what apples design team is doing.
Never say never. Apple needs a few new features to highlight at next year’s iPhone announcement and USB-C would be a big one.
The design isn't my favorite but neither is my XR with the massive bezels. But I love my XR nonetheless because its very functional for me. With that said, 2020 is shaping up to be the year to upgrade. 5G, new design, and USB-C (likely).
Fantastic design language and named after China's President. Seems like a winner!
At least it is a good thing they are not prioritising design over performance, like the Macs......
You mean the same notch Samsung has on the Galaxy Fold...you know that device everyone here is claiming is so innovative?
Sorry Apple, but Samsung and Huawei are currently besting you on phone design.
This is reminding me of the 90's when Apple added CD drives and to it's ugly Performa line and built in speakers to it's monitors.
Apple needs to go back to the drawing table and start with a clean slate...not simply tack on features to an existing design.

In case I should decide to buy this iteration, it might be the first iPhone I'd put in a case. And that's not to protect it...
Better yet, a case that fully covers the back of the phone. You'll just make do with the front camera.
