Why would that really matter? Wouldn’t you rather have a phone that functions better than how it looks or sits?
That’s the best you could come up with?

I disagree. I’d hardly ever pull out my Sony a7rii or s if there was an 85mm or so equivalent.
Quite often, yes. It gets dark here at around 5pm this time of the year, and it’s often beautiful outside but the iPhone camera simply don’t do it justice
Low light photos have long been the Achilles heel of these devices.
I've been vocal about likely keeping the X three years. If the camera utterly blows me away though I may make an exception. Especially if there are decent trade in offers.

Quite often, yes. At least a couple every day, probably more now in the winter when we have less than 6 hours of daylight at this time of the year where I live. One reason I love my Huawei P20 Pro, superb night mode. Basically all pictures are usable, no matter what the lighting conditions.
Be sure that Apple is studying these like mad now that sales-panic is all around (despite formally there is a “business as usual” situation...)
And there is good reason for it. Now with phone prices are approaching car-level values, the second-hand market will mature and Apple must respond with better trade-in offers than they had before.
However that will eat into their current churn of cash flow that they’re addicted to. But they’ll have to respond to second hand prices in the market or their trade-in plans will fail.

We aren't talking about the dark we are talking about low light in which many people take many pictures, but yes, quite a lot of people also take pictures in the dark... both areas in which the Pixel 3 excels. Another user with another question designed to take the focus off and make excuses for why Apple are not as good at something as another phone. The usual "who would do, do many, why would you want" questions designed to imply that the only reason that Apple aren't as good is because Apple knows best and if they thought it was important they would do it so much better. The fact is that Apple have fallen behind in so many areas except in making sure you can't service your devices without emptying your wallet.... In that area they are a class leader.
I take pictures in low light and I want the low light photos to look like they are low light and have good dynamic range. There are some isoless cameras that have virtually no sensor noise and the range in post can pushed, google has done that with AI and is a really cool function. However, many of the samples now look like mid-day photos. As a photographer that isn't what I'm after.
Much more useful to me is the smart hdr and dynamic range on videos, on which apple is better than google. (And that in no way is to diminish the "night sight" feature)

No it doesn’t.

And that is why it’s Sub par camera phone. No one is really using the pixel.
Looks like that train left the station a long time ago.All I want is a flat flush camera

Don’t be too sure. Doing it like that might be easier/better than making the current camera component longer. It would also make the iPhone 11 stand out compared to the X, Xs and Xs Max so people spending bet. $1,000 and $1,500 can justify their purchase. Removing the notch would be another way to differentiate them.

They won’t line up the flash like that. I believe it will be a square, I just don’t believe that will be the arrangement of components within it.
And why is there possible only going to be one ? Apple wanna 'test' the water to see how popular it can be..... or maybie Apple are doing a 180 degree circle. and thinking "we'll try again with a top-"notch" phone" in the same way they tried with the Gold one,wish crashed and burned...
Apple running outta cash ? There are lots of things you can delude from this.

- one phone why not make quite a few ?
- can't remember the exact model, but Apple closed a few stores and pulled it after few years because Apple knew it was bad.. didn't get good coverage/press. and was targeted only at the fashion-based market.. branded as most expensive fashion people. u it didn't sell well.
Funny, there is no known media links on this now i can find.. It may have been around iPhone X type year....(this is not the same one as the third party companies you get doing "gold like feeling" )
There comes a point where you just say "make the phone f***ing thicker" to get round this lens issue. That point was a few generations back, when they first put the bump in.
Their priority should be low light pictures in my opinion.
As for the huge camera bulge I don't really care if it is the only way to have more features for the camera. I only seldom look at the back of my iPhone and it is always protected by a cover, so it would only be a bigger camera cutout on the cover, I'm fine with that
