True dat. That's why Apple DGAF.Everyone is going to call this ugly and buy it anyway. Just like you did with the iPhone 5's ugly glass panels, the iPhone 6's ugly antenna lines, and the iPhone X's ugly notch.

The X and XS camera bump depth is a 1.2mm.
If the phone was as thick as the camera bump, it would only be slightly thicker than the XR.

This may all be true, although some of it is subjective.And people already complain about how thick and heavy the XR is. Despite what some think, people really don’t want thicker/heavier phones. For Apple to do that just to get rid of the camera bump is the very definition of putting form over function.
Despite the “Ive is obsessed with thinness” meme, the iPhone has been getting thicker every year since the iPhone 6. Every single year. It’s now finally gotten to the point where people are actually saying the XR is too thick.
Apple could get rid of the bump by using a less complicated lens arrangement, but again that would be putting form over function. Apple’s ok with the bump since it allows them to use higher quality optics. A couple hundred million customers agree with them that it’s an acceptable trade off. Not much different from the notch; an acceptable trade off for FaceID/smaller bezels and a display that goes all the way out to the corners. Function trumps form.
You’re right, my bad. Due to my ignore list, I didn’t see the post you were responding to; I thought you were advocating for a “thicker-than-XR” XS. I usually hit the “show ignored content” button so I can see the context of the post, but I neglected that crucial step. I apologize for misinterpreting your post and unloading on you when you clearly didn’t deserve itThis may all be true, although some of it is subjective.
The thing is, I wasn't arguing for or against a thicker phone in my post.
I was just pointing out the fact that the camera bump is not 2-3mm deep, and losing the camera bump for a thicker phone would not make it 30% thicker.
Geez. Just make the phone a tiny bit thicker and lose the bump. Added bonus: more room for battery!
Nobody:
Apple: more cameras!!!1

Everybody: get rid of the notch and bring back the jack?..
Apple:
It really isn't that much of a phone then. It's a tablet than can fold.The ability to have a tablet in your pocket. Pretty obvious.
Probably lol. At least you wouldn’t have to worry about picking up a nail... but termites, that’s another issue altogetherreally? people still care about the headphone jack - in 2019?
Are they still lamenting the wooden wheel?
I much prefer the vertical camera design with a camera flash ring design. Seems so much more futuristic than a cube.
That's the whole point. A folding and portable device that is a hybrid of a smartphone and tablet.It really isn't that much of a phone then. It's a tablet than can fold.
But essentially you are always wasting money. You are the perfect Apple customer because you buy everything from them. If it works for you, great but keep in mind that you are being manipulated. ;-)Because I'm on the Apple yearly replacement program. I always get a new phone. This way I never have to be one of those people who are always trying to decide if they want to upgrade this year or wait. I just always get the new one. Stress free living.![]()

This is inaccurate.That'd still be 20% thicker than now, which is a huge jump for a small mobile device.

Well, here is an example:Why is that wasting money? How I am being manipulated? Is every person who ever buys anything being manipulated by the company selling the product?
I don't understand why they didn't do this. It makes absolutely no sense. What kind of feedback are they getting that they continue to push these godawful design choices on us?Geez. Just make the phone a tiny bit thicker and lose the bump. Added bonus: more room for battery!

read my previous response, please.So if you enjoy the product that means you are being manipulated? Cmon...
People won’t buy the iPhone 11 for design it could be for the amazing camera performance
right! that's because DSLR cameras are not getting larger and uglier. i'm all for improving the quality of the camera, just not when it makes the phone uglier and bulkier. i just happen to find apple products very attractive and i hate seeing renderings such as these.
And those bigger batteries weigh absolutely nothing more, or need more room for heat dissipation. Nope you can just stick a bigger battery in it no problemo, right?
Nobody cares about the jack or notch in real life.
Well, the problem with photography is that you can't get around physics, so bigger lenses and sensor are necessary for better image quality (or, in the case of the iPhone, more lenses.) At this point, the camera is just about the only advancement I care about in a new iPhone, so I'm ok with it, if the image quality is a jump in quality. Plus, I use a very thin, black case on all of my phones, anyways, so the camera bulge won't be much of an issue to me.
