I don't understand why people think it's so ugly. It's no more or less so than most modern smartphones. One or two YouTubers don't like it and suddenly it's a thing.

I just wish the bump would go away.

It's difficult for some people to feel good (about themselves) unless they're complaining about some thing, some person, or some company. Provides a wee blip of power, too. It has become normalized here.

I tend to be tolerant of things from both Apple and Google but that thing just doesn't look good. They should arrange it in a stoplight at the very least. The camera bump looks tacked on.
 
might as well make standalone cameras...

at some point I feel packing everything into one device will wane. I love camera technology and its great to have high quality lense that are better and more compact than a point and shoot, but not for the sake of a goofy a** phone.
 
So far the rumors for this year’s iPhone have been SO BORING!

We should be about 6 months out from a new release and the only consistent rumor is the addition of a 3rd lense (with perhaps a very ugly design).
 
please no. that camera bump is so THICC it hurts my soul.

Why don't we have a mockup yet where the backside is nothing but an Apple logo surrounded by bumped out cameras, flashes, and mics?

Edit: Speaking of the mic, this new mockup doesn't seem to have one...
it does. Its sandwiched in btween the top left and bottom left cameras. You might have to turn up your brightness to see it.
 
Whoever thought that a camera bump is a good design and cool must be out of their mind. Everybody is doing it and even that giant Energizer phone also got a camera bump. This is getting out of control!

I'm sorry, but this is truly hideous. I don't even use the second camera on my X, so this isn't even appealing to me from a functionality standpoint either. I hope Apple does a better job than this rumor.
