The "Camera Bump"
-
I really don't understand Apple's obsession with "thin."
My current phone, and iPhone 13, is absolutely fine and works very well. But, in terms of design, I just don't get it.
Although it's very "thin," the "camera bump" is obnoxious. It breaks the style of the phone with a distracting and totally un-aesthetic "bump" to surround the camera.
Just make the whole damn phone the same thickness. Maybe that'll give you more room for a bigger battery?
Ya think?
Imagine what an additional 3.5 mm of thickness could add in terms of storage, battery, whatever?

I agree George. The thiness of the phones make them somewhat uncomfortable to hold.

Steve Jobs was adamant that the phone should be a "one-hand" device, and the original iPhone was that.
Today's phones are not that, by any means.
But, returning to the "bump", I think none of my phones had that until the iPhone 8. Since then, it's gotten bigger and bigger.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The minis are.
Battery lasts 1.3 days, too, with heavy use.

Jobs would never have allowed the camera bump.
Can you imagine the flame-spewing, obscenity-laden tirade that Jobs would have unleashed at any designer who came up with this idea? Probably would have been fired on the spot.
I understand the need for a "thicker" camera. But, ffs, integrate it into the thickness of the whole phone and gimme a bigger battery!
