This phone looks legit to me. I'll definitely be jumping on the yearly upgrade plan in September to get it (the SE was very tempting, but just couldn't downgrade screen size from 4.7).
I personally love the aesthetics of this new camera "bump," and I imagine that the apparently larger lens will improve low light pictures. FWIW, despite aesthetics being very important to me, I never understood the reaction against the camera bump on the 6/6s, largely because 1) physics, and 2) it doesn't look bad.
But the camera hole doesn't look like it could house a dual lens. Unless this is the 4.7" version.
Just shows that not everyone has the same taste and what one person considers ugly another doesn't. But I guarantee you if any of the products above had been released on Tim Cook's watch there would have been plenty of complaints about ugly colors and "Steve wouldn't have" comments.
Well of course. That's what I meant by "own context". At the time these devices came out, they were "edgy" and revolutionary. Today they would be a joke. That's what 'time' does.
Edit: And the sad thing about the "Steve wouldn't have..." argument that get's trotted out for almost everything these days; is that "Steve" is now frozen in time. Everybody references Steve from 2011. Not the Steve that would 'be' today. Nobody knows where his 'head' would be today in 2016. Yet I can guarantee you he would not be in the 'same place' today as he was in 2011. If Frank Lloyd Wright were alive today, I also can guarantee he would not be designing Prairie Houses.
A very good point, and the one thing that these 'Steve wouldn't have done this…' types seem to forget is that Jobs was the master of change and adaptation. If he wasn't then he would have made the same mistakes again when he returned to Apple.
