Would Steve Jobs Have Allowed A Protruding Camera?

I'm not sure that Alexander Graham Bell would have approved of people putting phones in their pockets. 
Apple is not as premier precise and elite as when Steve was around but under Tim they are selling a whole bunch more. Tim is appealing to the masses more than Steve did.
Jesus would not have eaten pork or worked Saturdays; so really, does anyone actually care WWTRJD?
Jesus did work on Saturday. That's one of the reasons he was hated.
jesus christ, we are talking about an iPhone here!
did they even have saturdays then? ha!
There's no doubt in my mind that Jobs would have folded the whole company and demanded the executive team commit seppuku for even suggesting this outrageous abomination of a camera lump the size of Mount Everest disgrace the iPhone.
Feel better now?

Uh... you may want to look up the origin of the word "Saturday." Because yes, they had Saturday back then.

The camera on my Nexus 5 protrudes. The camera on the iPod touch protrudes. What's the big deal, really?
The big deal is having the hubris of imagining you can second guess Steve Jobs. A much easier task now that he's dead.
With a 2.2 Aperture on the camera I don't think the camera piece itself can get any thinner to be honest.
The aperture probably isn't the factor that constrains the thickness, but regardless, the idea that a camera could or should be extremely thin is rather absurd. At some point people have to grapple with the simple realities of these things. A camera can't be the depth of a piece of paper. No way, no how.
The camera is acceptable but those lines are flat out ugly. Steve would definitely not have allowed those
You actually believe he'd approve em? He's very into minimalistic and elegance. I think it's safe to say those lines are neither. General consensus between this community and even mentioned in some of the early reviews
I don't know if he would have or not, and neither do you. In other words, dude's dead. Get over it.
He would have mandated that the phone be even thinner and put in a really terrible flush camera.
He would have called everyone who tries to second guess his decisions a bozo and laughed in their faces.
He allowed the hockey puck mouse, so yes. And yeah, he wouldn't have allowed a > 4.5" iPhone 6 to be made in the first place, so it wouldn't really matter, right?
See, this is why speculation like that is completely asinine. What the man said and what he did were often two completely different things... just like ANY human being. NONE of us can say with ANY certainty that he "wouldn't have allowed a bigger phone" or that he "wouldn't have allowed a protruding camera" or that he "wouldn't have allowed the antenna breaks." For all we know this design was already in the pipeline BEFORE he died. So let's all stop trying to play Amazing Kreskin here, shall we? Steve Jobs is dead. What he would or wouldn't have done is completely irrelevant because he's not coming back. Ever. And no matter how savvy you THINK you are you do NOT know what he would or wouldn't have done, thought, allowed or disallowed.
I was just responding to the OP.
If you don't care for this question why even spend time in the thread
