Well, Apple's releasing their phones on a 3-year cycle, so I guess this year's models are going to be the last iteration of the X design... with the purported additional changes.
To me it's the camera lens layout that's F-U-G-L-Y
Mantis shrimp everywhere high five and fist bump... causing all of their Airpods to fall out because they don't fit their ears.

It's like Apple wants us to keep our current iPhone's or something.
Geez, that silver one looks hideous
Agreed. The black one is hideous too.
No worries some of his long time friends and team members has left Apple looking for him. For now Timmy is taking care of the design and he wants to put more HUMPS to them.
Not a chance. Out of 1.1+ billion devices, almost all are Lightning, and there are well under 50 million USB-C only Macs. There are 3+ billion USB-A cables and chargers. On iPhone, USB-C brings nothing to the table for most, and would be a worse physical connector for all. Tons of downside with almost no up.
Glad the mute switch is changing, I hated how hard it was to flip it
Phones have gotten thicker every year since the iPhone 6.
So over the years we went thinner. Now we are going thicker and yet we are not getting any benefits. Where is Apple cutting corners? OLED is meant to draw less power, A chips are meant to be more efficient and so on so on and yet, the battery life is usually the same (except XR) but the phone is thicker. This simply doesn't add up.
Why? What is wrong with Lightning? Wireless charging is the real game changer. No cables at all. Do you need super-fast charging? Do you need faster data transfers? In what way is Lightning vs. USB-C holding you back? Or do you just view Lightning as inferior and you can't have that in your world?
Not planning to upgrade my X (no compelling reason) but if I did, I'd avoid the silver version.

might as well resign ourselves to the fact that the iPhone has become the iCamera
How is it bugging you? It's literally invisible in day-to-day usage, as the screen design wraps around it, aside from a few apps that haven't been updated.
I hear 3 positions have opened up on the industrial design team recently. Maybe I'll apply.
