Works for me. It’ll keep the phone from sliding out of my hand for sure. 😝
why are people so obsessed with this? Do you all just sit and stare at the back your phones all day?
The iPhone takes worse pics than several year old Android phones, and you want them to revert back to iPhone 4 sized optics? No thanks.
Why? For a few reasons.
1. It's a sloppy design. It just doesn't look great, and there are other phones out there that have a sleeker look to them.
2. It's annoying when your phone wobbles on any surface you place it on, or starts to resemble a corn hole board.
3. If they're going to make the phone thicker by adding a giant camera bump, just make the phone itself thicker and make the battery larger. Very few people are going to complain about that I'm guessing.
If the iPhone takes worse pics than sever year old Android phones, how were those phones avoiding such large camera bumps and can we to the size they're at?
They're fair questions/complaints. You can love Apple and feel this way because you want what you choose to be better.
1. In your opinion. It doesn’t look sloppy to me at all, in fact I wish it was much bigger! gives you something to hold onto when not in a case, and saved my phone several times before my case arrived. It’s a slight raised area on the back of a phone, have you ever used a dedicated camera? You think the iPhone has a big lens bump? Carry around a 400 or 600mm lens all day on a DSLR. Besides, most cases have a raised lip around the camera array along with little raised areas in the corners so cases protect the lenses and the phone lays down flush.

And yes other phones don’t have lenses that protrude so much, I personally wish they’d make the entire area around them one raised area so everything blended in like this.

2. My phone is always in a case except after I wash it and I never lay it down on a hard surface and rock it back and forth.
3. I think more people would be turned off by a 1 inch thick phone that weighs 2 pounds than the handful of people here that don’t like little lens protrusions. Of course everyone wants more battery life but there’s a limit to how thick and heavy they can go.
I don’t know much about photography so maybe even with a periscope zoom lens the optics of a decent camera system are such that the lenses need that much depth so, short of making the whole body really thick, the bump is here to stay in some form or another. In that case I agree with you that a more symmetrical and to me less visually intrusive bump such as the one in your picture would get my vote. It also gives more internal volume so might open up the possibility of shifting stuff around internally to free up a bit of space for more battery.…
