At this point Apple should stop putting out a new iphone every year and go back to putting one out every 2 years like they used to do. I see no point in releasing a new version of it with very few updates/tweaks just to be able to put a new one out every year. It's dumb.

Apple has released a new iPhone model every year since its original release in 2007.

Really? I feel like it was every 2 years in the early days. Guess I'm wrong lol.

By 2030 the entire back will be covered with cameras, lights, and sensors.

Not me thinking this was the iPhone released next week and showing everyone at work without watching the video

Well firstly, they make a LOT of money releasing a new phone every year, even with incremental updates. Which not only makes their investors happy but allows them to continue to invest in R&D for more ambitious projects. But more importantly for the consumer, they update the chips pretty regularly. Which sounds dumb but at the end of the day it allows them to keep another year of iPhone updated to the latest iOS.

Weren't people saying the same about the notch years ago when it came out?

They always had an S model that would come out every year after a main iPhone release so they would have a big design refresh every 2 years. Apple still does a design refresh every 2-3 years, but the actual names have been all over the place since the release of the X.

Lol yesss, I remember, but the difference is that there already were android phones with the dot and never got used to them or liked them. Of course this is Apple and they might actually make it look good, but the notch was cool and aesthetically pleasing, at least for me, but that depends on the person I guess. Even if it was a full screen iphone with the dot hidden somehow, it would still be weird for me ! I need "land" on my screen, not just sea, if that makes any sense

I understand, it sounds like you need the aesthetic of it to be somewhat continuous, and not just a random grey zone in some spot on the screen. Have you actually used a hole-punch phone as your regular phone before? I agree I don't think I'd like the hole-punch but I think it's possible to get used to it and ignore it if used regularly.

Where have I seen that design before? 

What will Apple "innovate" with in the coming years? A foldable phone, a phone with the camera under the screen?  Oh, wait

I haven't, but my mom owns one and I handle it sometimes to help her with things. All I can think of when its in my hands is that dot  But I agree with you that with regular use you will probably just ignore it, it's just that as you mentioned, I don't like just a random dot on the screen. I find it weird tho because apple only releases features that android have had for years only because they want to make them "great". So it would have made sense that they skipped this design and make it notchless completely somehow.

Looks like the fake phones from alliexpress

There was this article when the X came out. Apple was so obsessed with symmetry and proportions that they calculated how the notch would look mathematically. I think it helps why it’s not annoying. 
 

I hate the dot too, being detached from the bezel makes it look like dirt. I’d rather Apple do the notch until they can embed the camera under the display without sacrificing quality. 
 

Also official renders of the phone didn’t “leak”. It looks cheap because Prosser and some guys made a render out of all the infos leaking about next year’s phone. This is all speculative.
