Or in a movie theatre, online at the store, on a bus or anywhere else where it gets on everyone's nerves... Unfortunately, the people that show disrespect for others make me want to see a headphone only device. When the user steps outside of the range of their home's wifi, the speakers shutdown
Just kidding around.
EDIT: Fixed wording.

Tim Cook would't necessarily call it "the bump".
But he would insist, that if you're out on a field trip, taking pictures, it might be kinda nice to have...
Just wait for another generation. This year, they are getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Removing the Lightning Port is planned for next year's iPhone.

You go to visit your parents and you try to set up a FaceTime so they can see and talk to their grandkids, but the phone won't let you use the speaker because you're not in range of your home wifi?
Look up the word hyperbole. And look up hideous while you are at it. Somehow in your eyes the basic iphone 6 shape has become 'extremely ugly' because the camera is a squarer shape rather than a circle.
That's not a design mistake, that's your own personal issues coming to the fore, especially if it invokes an association with embarrassment in you.
The thing about these unhinged thoughtless comments on things like a low res temp render, is they don't have to be defended against the slow logic and truth of time. And in a few years, when enough Android phones have dual cameras and no 3.5mm jack you will have forgotten what you said here. Doesn't mean we didn't have to suffer through reading it though.
2016 will be a no upgrade year for me. No new iPad and no new iPhone. The Air 2 and 6S are solid products. Their half-baked successors (7, 9.7 Pro) are definitely not worth the upgrade. Now the supposed 2017 iPhone will be worth considering. I see the iPhone 7 as a place holder until the 8 or 7s, or whatever the hell it will be called is released.
It is flush, if you use a case, which 95% of people do. If you don't, your loss and risk every time you drop it, even then it's still fine to have a bump.
Also, millions in R&D? What year is it? Billions
If they change it to flush, lens is smaller, photos are compromised, or phone is bigger and heavier.
Slight bump is the best compromise, effectively no bump for all but a few, and better photos.
Must be tough having zero imagination. A new chassis design every 2 years is what most people look forward to...well except for you of course.
Do you realize this is a fake picture someone made for fun? It has no basis in reality at all.Two things -
1. Anyone realised the Bezels on the sides are much thinner now? Looks good. (EDIT: Nevermind, can't tell from an all-black front)
2. 3.5mm audio jack is gone.sh*t

Keep in mind there are a large number of posters on this thread that are anti-Apple. I am not violating the TOS by pointing that out because their signatures actually point that out. I would not accept their disappointment as genuine.
So the earbuds will plug into the
This is a big problem for me. Like... fatally bad. I often pop my earphones in while my phone charges at night. Are they really going to limit this functionality? It just seems crazy if it's only in favour of stereo sound. Any chance of two lightning ports?

You haven't read many of the comments or been keeping up with this rumor if you're still asking this question.
At a minimum there will likely be a simple pass through available in the connector cable of the headphones or adapter you chose to buy, adding no additional bulk, but there's at least a half-dozen other ways to easily tackle this problem.
I'm stunned that anybody continues to ask this question after almost a year of this rumor circulating. The answer is so simple on the face of it. And it presumes that Apple has not put any thought into solving this, despite the fact that Apple has already demonstrated this basic solution in many of its Lightning accessories, as well as its USBc accessories.
It is flush -- No it protrudes.
If you use a case, which 95% of people do -- 95%? Source please.
There is no reason for the camera to protrude. Shave 1/2 millimetres off the inside near the camera to sit it further back. Lot's is possible. This is Apple's fabricated can't do it, just can't until... yes we can do it. Apparently the iMac couldn't use a vertical CD drive at one point in its life, then, surprise a vertical CD drive, and a new reason to upgrade. A vertical CD drive was always possible, just like a device without a protruding camera.

Physics isn't required here. Shave off 1/2 millimetres inside the case around the camera assembly and sit the camera back further and just like magic, there you have it, a non protruding camera. Or, increase the case depth slightly. Lots is possible.
Headphone jack is a necessity for millions. Apple doesn't need to reinvent the headphone jack - they need to reinvent their poor design choices. The phone is similar to holding a slippery bar of soap, now with the added inconvenience of having no jack, and a larger camera bump to hit and scratch. I am sorry for your wrong opinion and lack of taste.
It's an interesting idea though. The device is self aware of the circumstances. Not sure though if I'm keen on my device doing its own thing... ;-)I was just kidding around. Seriously

Do you really think that wouldn't have reduced the thickness of whatever is behind the camera module (essentially the front glass and very thin black separation layer) as much as possible?
You simply prefer, everything else equal (which includes the thickness of whatever is behind the camera module), a flush camera over a better camera. There is nothing wrong with that preference but you should openly stand behind that trade-off and pretend that there is no trade-off. Maybe there is still some thickness reduction of whatever is behind the camera module possible but that still leaves you with the position that any thickness reduction there should be invested in removing the protruding lens instead of putting a better camera into the iPhone. There is no free lunch.
