While it's the long awaited switch from Lightning to USB-C that'll hog the headlines, along with the slightly more curved edges, I just can't get over the size of that camera bump. It's positively terrifying. Suddenly the iPhone 14 Pro camera cutout doesn't look so gargantuan.
The renders by prolific concept artist Ian Zelbo(opens in new tab)) are allegedly based on CAD files given to case-makers. And many of the design touches from our iPhone 15 rumours round-up are present and correct, including rounded edges, haptic buttons and of course USB-C, which fans have been requesting for around 400 years.
Overall, it doesn't look a whole lot different to the iPhone 14 Pro. Except for the camera bump. Of course, a bigger sensor means better pictures. But it sure does feel like those meme mockups depicting an iPhone rear that's all camera could finally become a reality. Do we really want to carry a mini DSLR around in our pockets?
And it seems I'm not the only one with camera worries. "I just want a phone that will lay flat on a table," one Twitter user comments, while another adds, "Somewhere Steve Jobs is shaking his head."
Things have been moving in this direction for a while – it's been a good few years since an iPhone could actually lie flat on a table. But as someone who prefers a phone that doesn't require three hands to hold (yep, I miss the iPhone mini), I can't help but think that the iPhone 14 didn't take things too far, then this certainly will. Of course, it's a fan-made render – time will tell if this is the real deal. In the meantime, check out today's best iPhone 14 deals below.
