>"Thin on its own I get but thin with a giant bump 100% defeats the whole point for me. Seems clear at this point there is little hope of them engineering their way into thin cameras."

I have this recurring vision of what could have been if we never lost Steve before the industry went whole hog in on the camera bump fad. It goes something like this:

SCENE: Steve Jobs' office on the eve of the iPhone 7 release

"Hey Steve here's the new prototype for iPhone 7, we think you're going to love it!"

Steve picks up the phone, fumbles it around for a moment, flips it over, and runs his index finger over the camera bump

"You're fired. Now, you" points to another engineer "Get rid of the bump."

And just like that, we were saved from this nightmare. Alas, the world is shit now and no one cares about anything anymore. But I can say without question he would have never allowed it.
