There's no bump on the front of the phone.Ug! Can we please have a phone with just a "good enough" bumpless camera?
Not all of us want to take kissy face selfies at stupid high resolutions!
Got a tip for us?

I would take a thicker phone with a longer-lasting battery. #crazy.
Pretty soon the iPhone will be also used as a night stand table with all these camera bumps
Yep camera gets me every time I swear that LOL
I want one @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 ;-)
Honestly blows my mind that Apple keep making the cameras thicker, but down expand the battery so the phone lays flat. So many people are chipping the edges of their lenses. We gonna have some THICK ass cases!

If they’re going to make the bezels any thinner they’re going to have to include some sort of global palm detection. I can’t be the only one that keeps hitting things with the edge of my hand. Youtube seems to be the worst with it, if I adjust my grip or try to use the phone one-handed it hits a recommended video. I almost want to start using a case just for this reason (this is with a 14 PM)
They are out of ideas … but financially (Wall Street) stuck with force releasing a “new” phone lineup every year.
I think it's because it's the only spec they can reliably improve year over year. At this point the processor is fast enough, the screen resolution is enough, the wireless radios are fast enough. They've got to have some tangible benefit with each release to entice people into upgrading.
So the camera bump is now almost as thick as the phone.
The thing is, I might be okay with that if I thought the cameras were actually getting better, but the over-processing is making photos look worse than what I took with my 11 Pro Max. You can make the camera bump five times thicker than the phone. It won't change the fact that photos often look better without all this ridiculous processing (evidenced by the fact that when I have RAW on, I'm often more pleased with the results). The cameras are capable, but the way the phone thinks you want photos to look is often off the mark. And let us turn HDR off, like you used to be able to.
Otherwise, I agree that the camera is really the only feature that can be "improved" anymore, so they'll keep making it thicker. Wish they would get rid of those flat sides already, though. I'm down for the rounded iPhone X/XS/11 look to come back.
If the regular 15 has ProMotion, I might very go for it because it will most likely be thinner and lighter.

I miss the days of the phone sitting flat on my desk
*sits and waits patiently for a mini model refresh*
Other than that, I don't see a reason to upgrade anytime soon.

It's crazy how people used to complain about the Notch. Now people complain about the iPhone's rear camera. Apple can't win, LOL!
At this point design is absolutely forgettable
Glad we’re returning towards rounded edges. Much easier to hold.
With a slim case on, my 12 Pro sits pretty much flush. It’d annoy the hell out of me if it doesn’t.I miss the days of the phone sitting flat on my desk
Do you want one that scrubs your back? It’s a phone.
