Apple Edits iPhone 6's Protruding Camera Out of Official Photos
Sockatume writes: If you've been browsing Apple's site leading up to the iPhone 6 launch, you might've noticed something a little odd. Apple has edited the handset's protruding camera out of every single side-on view of the phone. (The camera is, necessarily, retained for images showing the back of the device.) The absence is particularly conspicuous given the number of side views Apple uses to emphasize the device's thinness.
"Is that a camera protruding from your back or are you happy to see me?"

No, the bulge was where the U2 album was stored.
We demand strict orthographic projection in all marketing materials!
Don't blame me, I voted for Baltar.
No, the phone is shown at exactly right angles, and they're right, the lens is photoshopped out. Meanwhile, it's 1 mm. What is that, the thickness of 2 business cards?
I think they were just holding it wrong while taking the pictures.
You're looking at it wrong!
This blatant image distortion by the cwhoreporate media gives young apples an unrealistic body image. We can stamp out this misfructopy in our generation! Sign the petition!
I don't know how their design people allowed a protruding lens in the first place. It really runs contrary to Apple's design sensibility, but I guess we're seeing the first evidence of what happens to Apple without Jobs. The protrusion is ugly, and it mars the flat, smooth design.
And for what? Assuming that they can't make the camera any thinner, make the phone slightly fatter, and make use of the extra space. It's not as though the iPhone 5 was obscenely thick and needed to be made thinner. Hell, just fill the rest of the thing out with additional battery, and give us more battery life.
Well, you know what they say:
"You can never be too rich, or too thin; or have too much protruding bulge..."

Apple is about style and fashion. So why not use photoshop or anorexic phone models? Everybody in fashion does it.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
What did you do today?
I argued about a 1 mm bump on a phone.
Apple is like Justin Bieber. Lots of people like them, but they're still crap.
