Ulgy to some, beautiful to others. I am from the latter.

Do really think so? I mean it's not completely awful, but I don't think Steve Jobs would have liked the camera cluster that looks like it has just been stuck on the back.

  +1 this. They literally put a camera bump on top of a camera bump. I'd imagine in 2019 they'd at least have no camera bump like the revolutionary iPhone 4/5 design? I love my SE for that reason primarily (not to mention form factor).

  From what I saw on reddit it looks much nicer in person.

  This has never bothered me.. I always have a case, which evens out the back surface. I'd get the small camera bump for good photos. I realize that this may not be acceptable by everyone, so speaking more as a personal choice. I love the design of iPhone 4 with this gorgeous glass too.

    How about a phone that’s 2mm thicker, comes with 30% longer battery life, and no humps?
    - gchokov 7y ago
      I really don't know. Maybe it would be heavier, and maybe I will get used to whatever. I'd agree with you - it will appeal to many more people this way, apparently.

  It's hard to imagine what he would do. I'm sure he wouldn't like it, but if faced with the reality that the iPhone needs a camera spec bump in order to stay competitive, would he really still stick to his guns and demand a flush back? Would he make the entire phone the thickness of the cluster? (I'm assuming here that he couldn't magic the camera cluster thinner with his reality distortion field)
  - gadders 7y ago
    Yeah, I mean obviously I can't speak for him. And he doesn't have magic powers, but when he was looking after the iPhone there were no compromises, and this just looks like one big compromise.
    - fnordsensei 7y ago
      Right. Maybe he'd gone for a heavier and thicker phone then. 1. Modern camera 2. No camera bump 3. Thin phone Pick two. Or else, what would be the solution?

        If I knew that, I'd get paid Steve Jobs wages.
