In 2024 there will be an iPhone with the upcoming I3DTD (Infinite 3D Triplodepth) camera. This needs a bump just as big as the phone itself. The Apple design team will then find a way to make it flush again. Until then: patience...
Downside: V2 of I3DTD (also in development) will need one of the lenses being 3mm deeper than the other ones.
I'm glad to have my XS Max. This square camera bump looks awful.
A large improvement in photo/video quality and useability is basically the only reason for me to upgrade, any recent smartphone is fast enough for me, but add a wide-angle lens and better low light photos/video and I’ll temped to upgrade.
I feel the same. I’ll wait till September. If it doesn’t convince me I quit Apple ecosystem.
Complain now about it being "ugly", but we all know Apple will do it best and we'll all buy the new iPhones in September.
I think they will milk the multi camera trend until they have 4 cameras. Because if you have 4 cameras that are identical that add up to 1, you can still have wide angle and 2x zoom. But that’ll be saved for iPhone 12 .
Good luck to those with strong trypophobia, although these aren't irregular.

It doesn't for me because it's not shaped irregularly. However coral, sponges, and beehives don't either, yet they're irregular. Weird. Everyone is different.

No, it's not. Adding lenses is not to improve the "quality" of photos that can be taken with a single lens. Indeed, Apple's multi-lens phones still use only a single lens in most situations. Rather, adding multiple lenses adds a feature: being able to use a longer focal length, for example, when required by the situation. No matter how good image processing is, it can't substitute for a different focal length in situations where a different focal length is appropriate.
Of course, Apple can and should find a way to implement this feature without ruining the aesthetics of iPhone.
The Blackberry for executives. With no taste.
Rounded edge chrome frame squares... And you’ll see why 2019 won’t feel like 2019.

I actually am pretty OK with these new renders.
I don't feel the same. 64gb wasn't enough for me when it was the top tier option. I've got the 512gb now and frankly... I'd opt for a 1tb if it were available. And yes, I use iCloud, but I store my music locally. There's no sense in burning through your battery if you don't have to.
Dear god no. Samedung's new 'visor' is hideous. If your phone wobbles, maybe you ought to get a case.

Thought of it but will never give up my data or privacy to any other company so they can sell my data
So ugly... I’ve got a 7 currently and I’d take the X or Xs camera design any day over this.
The 7 is nice and moulded into the frame unlike any phone since the 5s/SE
I hope this years iPhone/s are decent enough for me to upgrade, the camera better turn out better than these renders

Wow, I'm not quite sure why there's such an obsession w/ cameras on phones? I guess I missed the boat over the last few years...? Give me a dependable phone w/ good battery, wifi, signal, and solid OS and I'm happy. Seems like we're buying cameras w/ phone features instead of a phone w/ some camera features.
I guess I'm old...

The cancer growth on the back of the phone keeps increasing. Frickin fugly.
Worst of all this could actually be true ... another good reason to keep my 6s with it's tiny camera lens & bump for as long as it lasts.

better tis way...if they centred it , it will wobble both ways
The reviews I've seen of the Pixel 2/3 are claiming it does the bokeh effect better than Apple does with two cameras though. And it has better low light performance.
I would say that having one camera with an adjustable aperture would be more useful. For low light scenarios etc - Also I've read rumours that one of the cameras may be monochrome thus used in conjunction with the other camera that does colour to give better photographs. If they end up doing that and the pictures still look worse than the Pixel 2 from years ago by the point this phone releases that would be embarrassing.
In-fact it's embarrassing that the Pixel 2 still beats the iPhone XS in photos. I don't want to downplay the importance in photography of having different focal lengths. But lets be real, most people 90% are just using the standard focal length and not really using the wider or telephoto capability present on some phones. They need to get the core usage better than the competition before experimenting with expensive additions like more and more cameras in my opinion.
