-- anyone else find it annoying how protruded the lens is? --

  Yes, it is a minor annoyance and actually seems to be counter to Apple's historical product design

    Apple? The company that added a notch to a laptop? :-))

  yeah not a fan, my iphone12 mini is bad enough. I get that taking a photo and posting it to instagram is 95% of the use case for the iphone but i still don't like the way the camera lenses protrude.

    Since the iPhone 11, the primary stated purpose of the Pro variants has been photography. For users less interested in photography, the regular iPhones have a more subtle camera array.

      Only marginally. The iPhone 14 non-Pro has the (also enormous) camera system from the 13 Pro, only with the telephoto lens removed.

        I don't think so, judging by the images: https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-13,iphone-14,iphone-13-pro https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-13,ip...

  As long as it's smaller than a smartphone plus an RX100 taped together I consider it a net win.

  You’re not wrong at all. My 12 Pro was much better, but still a bit annoying. But optics can’t beat physics. Better cameras need more space for lenses and sensors. They could make the whole phone thicker, but haven’t done that yet. The trajectory seems unsustainable. We’ll see what happens I guess.

  When you say annoying, what do you mean specifically?
