Apple Edits iPhone 6's Protruding Camera Out of Official Photos

Posted by Soulskill on from the truthiness-in-advertising dept.

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.

    Soon the Apple fans will come and show us all how some physics theory about light absorption when you point something at camera from the right angle will make the light bend just so slightly and cause an illusion that makes the phone appear to have no camera pointing out.

    I realize that this is slashdot and all that shit, and it is a requirement for members here to hate Apple.

    I see posts here talking about holding their iPhone 6 and it shows the bulge... interesting, where di you get YOUR iPhone 6???

    I see a lot of posting that it is obvious that Apple edited the photos - but the only link is not to an Apple site, but a hater site.

    I went to Apples site and looked around - there were no side views to be seen - hmm.

    So, it's typical Slashdot bullshit - pile on the hate, with nothing to support the theory.

    I agree. [insert shortcoming here]. [insert shortcoming here]. lame.

    they released the first smartwatch that people will actually wear. they introduced the first NFC system that people will actually use. they won't mine your payment data to sell more ads at you. they see you as a customer, not as a product.

    So instead of a crusty old veteran "maverick" and a cheerleader of debatable intelligence, we got a miserly career politician with impossibly white teeth (polished by repeatedly putting his foot in his mouth, no doubt) and a community organizer who demanded 10 years of tax returns from his opponent but deemed producing his own birth certificate a challenge.

    Sounds like a WIN
