I hate that little camera nipple thing, it looks so pathetic, I want either a full on camera bump or for the phone to be thicker and it to be flush. Camera bumps don't have to be ugly, you can make them look nice like the Nokia 1020 or the 808, they had massive bumps and they were done with style. They were the main feature, it looked like you have a proper camera, along with the Xenon Flash.
I just don't get why we have to make do with the tiny 1/3 sensor of the iPhone. We had those massive sensors years ago, while now the phones they're in aren't capable any more, no one has out done the camera module since.
Just focus on the camera bumps here...

The rest of the phone aside, I just don't think the bumps look bad, I imagine them on a iPhone and I'd be excited to buy one again. Whats the big deal out of just making them a feature and doing them with style? It allows you to fit a massive sensor that everyone will be talking about. Rather than doing this pathetic looking ugly nub that every time I see I want to chisel off. It would stop the phone from rocking as well as it expands to both side of the phone, not just one corner.
I look at the iPhone 6s and how it's meant to have this 12mp camera, now looking at all the leaks just confirms that the sensor isn't getting any bigger. So Apple will just reduce the pixel pitch for resolution, rather than just giving us a nice big camera sensor.
It doesn't have to be the main phone, but surely they could make a third with an emphasis on the camera. Until then, I just fail to get excited, especially since Apple are so reluctant to do full manual .DNG modes.
