Hate the lens bump. But it might be useful for external camera attachments; which I don't use.
Ugly as sin must be a new design fad. Anyone remember when good design was a thing?
Would be nice to see a smaller dimensioned XR mini.
It's your money. If you can afford it, there is no point in holding back if you like the new features.
2nd time I could care less about new iPhone rumours...
After iPhone X, the XS, XR, XS max XSi, TFSI, Turbo, Twin Stroke, etc. can't get me exited.
I just WISH Apple could release an iPhone XS mini (orso) with the size of the iPhone 5 but with the features of the XS.... pllleeeaasseee..?
STOP. APPLE, THIS NEEDS TO ****ING STOP. DID YOU NOT LEARN A DAMN THING FROM THIS YEAR AT ALL!?Apple has been aggressively marketing the iPhone XR, a lower-priced alternative with most-but-not-all features of the flagship iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max models. A dual rear camera could increase the $749 starting price of the iPhone XR, or eat into Apple's profit margins slightly if pricing remains unchanged.
The best external camera attachment is an external camera that has better ergonomics, a viewfinder you can see in sunlight and the ability to take proper specialist lenses that attach with a mount that is supported for more than 18 months, external flash etc. - the whole point of having a camera in a phone is the convenience of an all-in-one device.
I'm not objecting to multiple lenses per se if they help with foolproof photography but actually fitting within the body of the phone is pretty much #1 on the priority list.
One point of multi-lens technology is to solve the problems associated with ultra-short focal length lenses that fit into phone bodies. If the lenses still don't fit then the technology isn't done yet (or maybe the phone doesn't need to be that slim)
If Apple want to innovate, work with Canon or someone on improving the way phones and cameras interact so you can augment a proper camera with the display and editing capabilities of a phone.
Here we go again with the split between with the XS & Max.
Gotta raise those profits...
Biggest differentiator will be the price, $1800 for 3 lens phone because we all need 3 lenses. That said, I am not feeling in the "Apple Just Works" zone anymore, prices are ridiculous. Maybe Balmer was right after all, lol.Here we go again with the split between with the XS & Max.

'innovation' they said..
Man that triple camera is gonna look hideous!
not a fan of the tear drop on x/xs either
bring back the 7/8plus horizontal dual cam!
Except ergonomics. Try writing a novel on an iphone. Oh, and OS, too. Kind of a biggiegood god, this phone is almost every way superior to my 2015 MBA.
These all sounds like bad moves. This then gives the Max an edge over the XS, like they did with the 7 and 8 Plus, which sucks to people who don't want a giant screen. I already have a slight difficulty in holding my XS, I would not want a XS Max. If it's more profit they're going for, it seems that the Max is already selling more than its smaller sibling this generation, so I don't know why they need to change that.
Then, if the XR gets a dual lens as well... what is the point of even selling a XS? Lol. There's gotta be other perks for the XS if they do that.
Lastly, 3D Touch is a really cool feature, and I will be bummed if they fully nix it. From home screen shortcuts to the keyboard cursor movement to peeking at links... I understand that many people don't even know it's there, but that's simply a marketing blunder. Freakin' tell people that it's there!
If they switch to all-OLED by 2020, and also remove 3D-Touch...the XR wil not be longer needed...what would be the difference between XR and XS?
Here we go again with the split between with the XS & Max.
