Doesn't really matter because 99% of iPhone owners get some sort of case for it.
Also, may be more useful for 3rd party lenses/photography mods to attach to it.
It does seem a little odd that it protudes in my opinion. Like they couldn't quite get it to fit so "sod it - people are only going to put a case on it anyway". Not very'Apple', is it?
I expect it was either that, use a lower spec camera(like the Facetime one, which does fit), or make the whole phone as thick as the camera. I'm sure they'd prefer it was flush, but those were the options.
The camera's lens is the least concern. The phone is slim but fugly.
Looks like a second hand device from the 90s.
Makes efforts from HTC, Samsung, etc look stellar.
Err, where's the innovation? I'm sure they will sell millions since it's a nice package but, the price is ridiculous and brings nothing new or exciting to the table.
I can't believe these phones don't come with wireless charging. And as for NFC, well about time. I'll update my current Nexus 5 to the 6, been really happy with this phone and the price is excellent. As for the Apple Watch - oh dear.
Would it really have been the end of the world if the phone was as thick as the camera? At least then they might have got a better battery in it as well. I really don't understand the obsession with having everything as thin as possible. Sure, if it was really chunky it would be a bit cumbersome, but surely nobody would have noticed an extra millimetre.
I'm inclined to agree, though it seems Apple didn't. The extra volume would add weight though, assuming it's full of battery.
The pace of upgrades is never going to be as fast as in the early years of a new category. As smartphones mature it's understandable that they tend to be refined rather then revolutionised. All the low hanging fruit have been picked.
NFC is a good example of how Apple works though. Whereas Samsung would just chuck it in their latest phone as soon as the sensors are available, Apple has spent time getting agreements in place with banks to actually make it useful.
iOS+ a 4.7" screen is new and exciting. Best of both worlds, and will probably see a lot of people returning to iPhones.
do agree with you. But, I do expect a lot more from Apple these days, rather than refining existing technologies and ideas and eventually adopting standards and features that have been around for years(and making them work well: duly noted:).
They are a massively cash rich company and innovation used to very much be a part of their ethos, but for the last few years all they seem to have done is refined and redesigned a single product, allbeit in varying sizes which, in itself is a good thing.the 911 of the phone world, but I expect industry leading innovation from Apple these days, especially at the ridiculous prices they ask.
The larger screens will undoubtedly attract a huge flow of customers back to iOS, but I'm not so sure that this will be enough to keep Apple on the up & up in the long run.
And where's wireless charging?!?
