I hear you, though I will point out that Apple wouldn't do otherwise minor bumps that prominently featured camera improvements if their marketing research didnt show people cared at least a little about it

I would be fine with this camera system if it weren't a bump. I know it's tight in there but the wobbling of it to me is crazy - and no, I don't use a case - GO NAKED!
Also is it just me or do the new cameras each look HUGE? If you look at the size of the flash on the current XS max the lenses are only slightly larger but on this new one they all look like huge PANCAKES - what gives?!
Aesthetically, to me it looks bad. Obviously I'll get it and the photos will be amazing, but generally these kinds of things only lend credibility to the well-held belief that Tim Apple isn't innovative...

For the first time in many years it is nice to completely ignore new iPhones. Happily keeping my XR until 2020.
You got a lot of things wrong should probably take your own advice and “research first”.
A Phone is either premium or not.
Actually android flagships do not support Dolby vision.That’s the point I was making android flagships are missing premium features even though they are Charging the same prices.
S10 for example missing Dolby vision, nvme based storage, 3d facial recognition, cheaper aluminum versus stainless steel etc etc. For the same price.
Actually how many cores makes a huge difference and that’s not subjective.
Yes I said: flagship android phones don’t have these premium hardware components, the iPhone does.
No android doesn’t have some of the premium components I listed, that’s my point.
You seem to make a lot of things up, good luck with that.

Nope. People care about what they're told to care about. If there weren't daily articles for 6 months with a picture of a camera housing, no one would give a sht. They would just buy the phone, say 'that's a lot of camera', and then turn it around and use it and never care again.
Your post make very little sense.
The premium components in aggregate is what makes the iPhone a utility that works. You couldn’t care less but apple does and because they cared about the components you and other iPhone users who do not care can still enjoy using an iPhone.
Profit margin is at 38% mate, has been for a while.
Guess the shadow doesn’t know.
LOL. This is basically treading water. Why in the world would someone who bought a phone last year upgrade?
Are you serious? Ever heard of the iPhone Upgrade program. I can easily afford $120, for the taxes, to get a new iPhone each year. A new battery alone makes it worth it, not to mention updated hardware. Hmmmmm, maybe you are poor.
Sapphire is a possibilities for those lens, the problem is manufacturing scale.
Ceramic are more brittle than hardened Glass. Not to mention there are more investment in harden glass and provides clear roadmap in improvement.
I am betting this year will be all about Internal and Spec upgrade. That is everything from CPU, GPU, NPU, Memory, NAND Speed, WiFI, Speaker, Antenna, Modem, Taptic Engine, Fast Charge Controller, Face ID 2.0, Camera, Display, and new iOS 13.
Basically apart from the looks and design, everything under the hood, including the materials used will be different in this year's iPhone.
While this is all just a guess, iPhone XS to iPhone 11 should be a better upgrade than iPhone X to iPhone XS.
Then you may have to change your name from "iRutherford" to "Rutherford Galaxy" or "Rutherxperio", something like that.
The iPhone X had/has a beautiful design. It was a step in a good direction and this just seems like it's undoing all of that. The front will most likely still look good, but the camera setup looks like a major leap backward ... it's just ugly and bulky looking. I really hope that's not how the phones will look in reality, though it's highly likely they will.
Beside the fact this design being insanely bad aesthetically - if this is true - WHY on earth would they need a square bump for the XR? Could they not just use the current design?
At some point you have to decide if you want to make an iPhone or an iCamera because it's a little ridiculous when you force your phone into a camera just because you can. The camera is an accessory. Put a port on the back and let the user choose.
How do you know you hate android if as you say, “I’m going to have to give it a try”
Hmmm. Then i don’t get ur calculation. Isn’t the upgrade program $1200 in 2 years for the basic XS?
