They are pushed to the side of the phone to make room for the battery in the center and right-side.

They could still center the camera module with Apple's L-shaped battery because the part of the battery that covers the center of the phone is in the bottom portion of the casing. More than that, Apple is famous for their ability to design the internals of their devices.  I have no doubt Apple could place that camera module wherever they want on that phone and make it work. 

Personally, I think Apple would keep the module in the upper left corner because of tradition.  It's always been in the upper left corner.  I hope these renders and mockups are wrong, because that off center squircle is disconcerting and just plain ugly.

I presume the wireless charging coil currently in the dead center could be an issue with centering the new cameras.

Two more months of pearl clutching by concern trolls and then we get actual reviews of the iPhone's triple camera system. 

I'm prescient.

Once the reviews are out, no one will give a fuck about the "look" of the camera bump.

I think most forum members here have always cared about how their phones look. They won't suddenly "not care". 

That also doesn't mean they won't buy a new iPhone anyway whether they think it looks great, good, average, or bad. Looks aren't the only selling point, just one of them.

“No one” meaning the millions of people in the market for a new iPhone, not the same 5-10 negative-Apple-Nancy’s who come to offer their opinions on AI.

The alleged new bump looks to be the same size as the GoPro lens. No one cares about those either.

Though didn’t the Pixel 4 Leak already confirm someone has stolen the alleged iPhone 11 design?

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that these neckbeards cobble together a gizmo that nears the performance of the Mac Pro with similar specs. [...]

You’re calling Linus a neckbeard? Does that term not actually require a neck beard anymore??

1) Linus uses macOS with off the shelf HW, not Linux? Can you back that up?

2) I don't see anyone referring to him as "neck" anything.

<snipped pic>

You've posted an image of Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, not Linus Sebastian, creator of Linus Tech Tips.

The term "neckbeard" used to be literally applicable to a certain type of computer enthusiast, describing what was viewed as poor grooming habits. These days, poor grooming habits remain but are somewhat different to those in evidence when the term was originally applied. So, no, you don't need to actually have a beard to be described as a "neckbeard" any more.

My bad, but my point still holds regarding a Linux user who is desperate to use macOS.

I think you need to go watch some Linus Tech Tips videos and come back before you look even more foolish.  I'd say he leans more towards Windows and the majority of his 4.600 videos have nothing to do with Apple so he's hardly "desperate to use macOS."  He and his crew do it because they can and it's an interesting techie thing to try, along with a lot of other weird tinkering they sometimes try (and fail) with other products.

1) Oh, they do because they can and yet you are arguing that Apple needs to make a special Mac… for Linux users? That makes perfect sense. :eyeroll:

2) It's amazing how you people can be so hateful of a company while at the same time begging that they offer more ways to include you, especially at their own expense.

3) While I usually don't care to see Apple close doors on any users—even the Hackintosh community—in this case I can't wait for them to make macOS secure enough that their T-series chip forces the "Mac Sux Linux Rulz" jump through actual hopes to install the OS. I remember when building a Hackintosh took actual talent, not just buying some off the shelf HW for which there were plenty of decent drivers written.

I think you need to re-read what I wrote slowly and carefully.

1) What the hell?  I have never said that.  Ever.  You still seem confused about people named Linus and their relationship to Linux.  I can't solve that synaptic disconnect for you.  I'm sorry.  Perhaps a neurologist would be beneficial to you.

2) I'm a customer.  Voicing what I'd prefer and want is perfectly acceptable.  They can listen if there are enough of us ... or not.  feedback@apple.com is a valid email address.  You don't get to tell me what products I, or anyone, should like or dislike.  You want to piss away your hard earned cash on sealed units when a minor upgrade down the road could add years to it, hey, go for it.  There once was room for both options.

3) The Hackintosh has very little to do with Linux.  You seem to think Linux is somehow "under" what is running a hackintosh.  While some can run macOS in a VM with Linux as a host (that was the way they first did it in the video), it typically isn't done that way.  Hackintoshes talk directly to the hardware as if they were a Mac.  They probably have inspiration for the bootloader from Linux, but once that awesome macOS starts, it is macOS.  Had you made it 25% into the video, you'd know this.  I can't help you with your attention span either.  Sorry.

Now tell me what real professional video studio whose livelihood depends on performance and reliability would actually buy homemade, unsupported hardware running an operating system whose licensing terms expressly forbids its installation on said hardware? So what is the point of this exercise other than to say, “We did it! Ha Ha Ha!” Self-styled techies are such holier-than-thou egomaniacs. inequals said:

I'm a die hard Apple-ite, but I use Hackintosh - but not to get a Pro substitute - I'd rather save up for a Pro (which I absolutely don't need btw) - no, I Hackintosh because Apple will never make a mid-tier PC, also known as the xMac. I love it, and as one guy who isn't on a production workflow it works brilliantly as my home desktop and server. Of course, using my MacBook Pro (2018) always feels spiritually better, haha. But they get on absolutely fine, even with AirDrop and all that (courtesy of some actual Apple silicon inside my Hack providing AirPort and Bluetooth goodness)

So you’re an amateur self-styled techie who does no real work on your machine. It’s a toy for you.
