Man, they really have to get a handle on periscope lenses and eliminate the bump. It's getting out of hand. I just measured and on the iPhone 14 Pro it's a full 2.5 mm extra depth. You'd think given their obsession with design that the periscopes would be a very high priority internally.
Got a tip for us?

Rumored iPhone 15 Pro Design With Thinner Bezels, Thicker Camera Bump and USB-C Port Shown Off in Renders

From rough measurements of these render pictures, the phone body seems around 8.4 to 8.5mm thick, which will make the 15 pro the thickest iPhone since the 5c in 2013.
Do not forget than components like cameras do take space inside the body. Your proposal is not compatible with faceID HW.I get that top left is the default iPhone camera placement but ever since iPhone 11 the phone started to become really unbalanced. Bigger cameras are current state of tech, it's fine I guess, but can't it be better looking...?
Edit; okay messing around with the layout reveals that changing anything will look out of place immediately. Apple you'll have to figure it out yourself. Some sort of horizontal iPhone X pill shape doesn't seem too bad to me though;

You and the six other people in the entire world that actually use the phone without a case. The rest of the entire iPhone market will not care at all.
I wish they could figure out a way to make the camera flush with the body of the phone like the original—iPhone 6 era had. I understand that would be difficult with all of the technology that’s packed into modern phone cameras, but I’d even trade some thinness or weight for the phone to be more like those older models again.
Make the phone as thick as the camera bump. Flush back #BringSexyBack. What to do will all of that extra thickness? Well based on that camera thickness, they could almost double the battery life… whoever is in charge of the camera module just needs to be fired. Johnny Ive would have never let it get THIS bad. Aesthetically atrocious. iPhone 12 Pro was the best camera bump (after the 5 of course)
I swear the camera is beginning to look like a tumor on the back of an iPhone PM.
I want an all-bezel phone! I'm sick of the Ive-era obsession with screen real estate!
It's like you sucked the thoughts out of my brain and wrote them on the page. Thank you!
The camera bump is out of control! Hopefully it improves for the 16 (when I will consider upgrading from the 13) but I doubt it, every year it gets more obscene.
At this point, I'd rather they just build a thicker, more rugged iPhone that didn't require a case for protection and with no camera bump. Make it waterproof, shockproof, dust proof, etc.

100%. There is certainly a market for a slim phone with a decent enough camera that has all the latest Pro tech in it.
I couldn't care less for thinner bezels.
But the camera bump is absolutely hideous.
On the other hand, it will allow for the iPhone cases with enough space to store your credit cards, cash money, car keys, afternoon sandwich AND most of your sports gear. All in one phone case!
Bring it on, Apple!
