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

Looking at Samsungs far superior cameras and they don’t have an ass like my iPhone. And they are superior….. by a mile.
Defines the same phone we’ve been paying for since the 12… 😂 with “ MINIOR “ tweaks. We’re getting more of the same. And you all know it.
Thank GOD. The size of the bezels on the current iPhone & iPad make them virtually unusable. 
Some amount of bezel serves a function. Some of us put cases on our too-fragile i-devices to compensate for their fragility design flaw. The smaller bezels go, the less the overlap protection and larger the case needs to be. Not a win/win, and very short-sighted non-big-picture thinking.
The thinner bezels look really nice.

I know these are just renderings, but what is the point of a thinner phone if you are going to have a thick camera bump? I'm not implying that the camera has to be flush, but I'm sure the hardware engineers would love that extra space when trying to cram everything into the phone.
That camera bump is KILLING me. How the heck did Samsung manage to get a totally competitive camera WITH a periscope lens to boot in such a svelte package?!?!
That's why I think the iPhone 15 models may be thicker than people think. Modern stainless steel and titanium alloys may allow this to happen. A thicker phone would better accommodate the periscope camera and would also allow the introduction of vapor chamber cooling for the A16 or A17 SoC itself.
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;

For those that are still in doubt. 9to5mac had posted a nicely written article. It will be revolutionary since the iPhone X.

3DTVs grew year over year as well. Then everyone realized they are dumb and have too many drawbacks. Same thing will happen with foldables. You will be proven wrong in the end.
I keep telling myself I don't need to upgrade my 14PM, then I see this...I guess I'll be voting with my wallet this Fall...For those that are still in doubt. 9to5mac had posted a nicely written article. It will be revolutionary since the iPhone X.

Yea all you need for a foldable is the device. 3D stank because you needed so many extra things.
I am quickly becoming a don't-upgrade-unless-it-breaks Apple User. Once my 12pro dies I think I am going to get w/e version of the mini is available.
Currently have an X, and would have been putting off upgrading or a while. Finally decided to get a 15 Pro this coming year, but if that's the actual camera bump, hell no. I've handled the 14 Pro a bit and reluctantly came to terms with its camera bump, but that is the very limit of acceptable. I'll sooner get a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, or S24 or whatever the latest and greatest will be this fall.
I hate cases, but have an Otterbox Symmetry on my X because it makes the phone sit flush. Also have an Otterbox Symmetry on my work provided 12 for the same reason. Defeats the point if even the case has a camera bump.
Urgh that camera bump is disgusting.

Oh I know, I have a S20fe that came out in 2020 and it takes better pics than my 14 pro max does once the sun goes down. Not sure how they pulled it off in a mid range phone. With gcam it’s a beast, murders the iPhone.
As far as camera bumps though it may seem that way because Apple chose to make each lens have its own bump, instead of the entire camera lens area being raised like most other phones have.
I wish they’d do something like that, the triple triangle shaped lens array is pretty old now anyways. Just not sure why the lenses on the iPhone seem to stick out further than others. Using a periscope lens for the “zoom” lens should allow it to sit flush, not sure what they could do with the wide and ultra wide lenses though. Anyways it doesn’t bother me, I just want them to improve the pictures on the iPhone because yes the Pixel and Galaxy’s both have them beat. They are even falling behind in video quality now, the Pixel is better than the iPhone 14 pros at night by a noticeable amount.
You shouldn't have to shoot in pro-raw to not get the crap software-ruining pics. Apple is going the complete opposite of Samsung and google and their photos don't look great compared to those.
