      Can’t do it, it is too sane and user friendly. Best they can do is further reduce flexibility and add more AI.

    This can IMO be both good and bad. Good if they take the existing design, thicken the body to make it flush with the camera modules and put a larger battery in that space; bad if they use the existing design and make the cameras thinner so that there’s no bump.

    But hey, we can’t talk much sense to manufacturers who are happy if we buy a new toy every year…

      and an nvme slot and whatever connector laptop wifi cards use.

      but we all know the extra space will be for more jank AI.

    This is actually a great way to test customers reactions. Just leak your design and see what people are saying. Obviously you still have issues with some people being louder than other, but it’s still a nice way to test stuff without actually selling anything.

        I personally don’t use the camera much so thinner cameras modules would work for me, however since everybody else seem so obsessed with the camera quality, it seems like a thicker phone is the only way to get rid of the camera bump.

        Honestly, if this would make the overall width and height smaller, that would be great. Having a “compact” phone without the minus of small battery

      But this rectangle is newer than the other rectangles, therefore it’s good!
