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.
But... but... he has a 26X Optical Zoom on his DSLR Whatever the fuck that means. If he really has a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) I am not aware of a zoom lens with a range greater than 16x (18-300) You do know that the multiplication factor means the longest focal length divided by the shortest. Or maybe he meant 26x magnification at the sensor plane, in that case, he must be using a crop frame sensor with an 850 mm lens (approximately) or more likely, a 500mm (mirror) lens with a 1.4x converter He spent all that money on photography gear and still doesn't understand perspective...
"theverge" is not a hater site.
"nothing to support the theory": aren't the photos good enough to support the claim? You want links to Apple's site? Here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/ see for yourself. Check the photos under "iPhone at its largest. And thinnest."
Either you are blind or an Apple fanboi. So stop flaming slashdot.
My Nexus 5 is pretty thin. I don't use a case with it. The screen has not broken. I haven't gone out of my way to be especially careful with it, either.
It's just not that damn hard to use a phone without breaking it, unless you're ridiculously careless.
