Better than Huaweis approach
That's fine, let us know how early mediocre service is and underwhelming when you get it on another phone

I know 5G won't be available everywhere immediately but I want my phone to be future-proof in that regard when it is.
This design is on Nikoa 9 level of ugly as fuck. Look up the rumored Nokia 9 camera arrangement.
They can only do the "Same damn phone physically, but in a cool new COLOR!!" thing once (5 to 5S, 6 to 6S, X to XS), so if the next one after XS will have the same screen and shape, then definitely changing the camera cluster will be the only way to sell it.
That's only 5
You can fit at least 65 of those bitches on the back of an iPhone
Didn't realize you used your phone by looking at the back of it, my bad.
It's a battery case. The primary motivation is utility, not everything is about making the phone look cool. When you actually use that case in your hand it gives the impression the phone isn't really much thicker than it already is if you had a normal case on it. Apple decided that was more important than having it look amazing in a product shot.
6G will come out right after 5G so future proof already failed there
I mean sticking out as in standing out.
Excuse the photoshop but a pic might demonstrate it better.
Will look weird on pretty much anything other than the black case. They could of course change the color of the bump but then you'd have the lenses being very visible.
I know you're being sarcastic but 4G/LTE has had 4 solid generations. I'm just waiting on a 5G phone because i typically upgrade every 3-4 years.
Classic people not reading in this thread.
This leak, if true, is an engineering model. That means this is absolutely not a final design. This phone shell is likely just fo them to test the actual setup of having 3 cameras in a phone. If that hardware is good, then they'll move to the design phase which will adjust how that looks.
Is there a chance it still turns out like this? Yes. Is this final right now? Absolutely not.

Yeah maybe, but I'm not gonna hop on that train right away. 5G as it is right now kinda looks like crap unless you have crystal clear reception. ArsTechnica did a good breakdown showing that it's penetration inside buildings at its current frequency is kinda awful.

Oh. Well, I can't say I agree. In that particular case what bothers me is the uncomfortable distance between camera and Apple logo, otherwise it's just a camera cutout, regardless of color or size.I mean sticking out as in standing out.

5G won't change anything for reception or penetration in buildings, which is correct and most people don't understand this
The body is fine, what bothers me is the weird camera arrangement. Why can't the flash go in the middle of a triangle arrangement of cameras?
Right, but as it stands it seems like right now it's worse than LTE, as far as that goes. I don't want my signal halved or worse because I walked into my house. I'm sure they'll figure something out eventually and it'll be fine, but I'm definitely gonna wait a bit and let it mature before jumping in.
I remember when LTE was first introduced, HTC jumped in strong with their marketing showing the "first LTE smartphone!!", then everyone realized the battery life was ass. Nothing wrong with sticking to LTE until 5G really takes off.
Apple ffs, not everyone cares about camera quality, it's good enough already. Solve the notch "problem" and do something interesting please...
Inclusing mroe cameras will just increase the price of the phone by another $150 and calling the lense "the new and revolutionary Apple Lense powered by AI in our datacenters in Mars..."
Just make a damn phone.

Eh by 2020 5g should be widespread and battery life normalized. 5g benefits are speed and network congestion if I understand correctly. Waaaay faster.
Really looking forward to 5G, hope it spices things up a little.
I read that Apple won't support it for awhile, not sure if this because o the Intel moems or what though. Samsung has a phone this year with 5g and I bet the other manufacturers will too
This is it, really.
The analogy up-thread of "just add more razor blades!" isn't far off.
