Different is not always better. Must have been a thousand other ways to configure the back of this phone. Anyway, a case will go a long way towards minimizing this.
I have written a press release for all new iPhone releases going forward:
This latest iPhone is slightly faster and has a slightly better camera than last years iPhone. Also it is slightly thicker or thinner than last years iPhone.

"It's the best iPhone we've ever made."
I wonder if the iPhone getting thicker has anything to do with the story of the three main Apple industrial designers leaving.
Triangle setup with flash looks totally weird design wise. Can't imagine this is going to happen...
I hope they stay with lightning. I have like 30 lightning cables and don’t want to have to buy new ones.
There. I said it. Please stay with lightning.
I totally agree, it looks so "un-Apple".
Recent phones have been a toxic hellstew of nonsense with bits of brilliance stirred in... why not make the backplates even a little thicker to handle the cameras and then occupy the rest with... oh, I don't know, MORE BATTERY?!
Perhaps this is why those 3 industrial designers bailed? One can only handle so much foolishness.

How heavy do you want the phone to be especially considering most people put them in cases?
[doublepost=1556302745][/doublepost]
Because people don’t want heavier phones. Most people put their phones in cases for protection which makes the back flush. And even if the camera was flush with the back people would still be complaining that the layout is ugly.
It's funny how so many people get all verklempt. Over a rumor. Chill
That pic of lenses all over the iPhone is so creepy like spider eyes. Eek!
I wonder why the cameras wouldn't be positioned along a 90 degree angle instead of a triangle like that. That would enable it to take 3D pictures in both landscape and portrait
IMO, the rear of every iPhone since the 6 has looked terrible, this just takes it to a whole new level.
We can hope that this is fake but considering the history of these iPhone leaks it's most likely spot on.

I generally like Apples deigns but this is pretty horrendous in terms of the rear camera. I guess we won't know for sure until we see it up close and personal but from these renderings it looks atrocious. I might for the first time have to skip out on this years new iPhone.
This phone was probably designed two years ago. We'll see their impact (or not) in the coming years.
I like the silver one the bestGeez, that silver one looks hideous
What do you want? Them to design a plastic screened phone that'll be released to the tech press and then get shelved because it breaks in two days?
