I think the camera size is getting out of hand on iPhone 15 Pro (iPhone 15 leaks)
The camera size is already huge in iPhone 14 Pro that it doesn’t sit well on MagSafe Duo Charger wishing that they figured out a way to at least keep the size to how it currently is but it looks like there’s no getting around it. It looks like it’s gonna be bigger than 45mm Apple Watch at this point.

I don’t think people get how the camera has to be raised, to support the external lenses better so they never shift. So many creatives use the cameras for professional work so this is a carrot to them.
That is entirely true. However if one makes form a priority over camera performance it does not count.
Yes but Form should follow Function. Function has priority, and Form in and of itself is limited. It’s just Form.
I get that the camera bump is gonna be there (though it makes the phone top-heavy already) but I’m more concerned at the size of the camera since already eating up a lot of space at the back. Soon, it would be hard for magsafe accessories to attach as there’s less space for them. Right now, 14 pro doesn’t sit well over magsafe duo charger because the camera is touching the pad. If you notice, the Pro variant camera is the lowest across the series.
In regards of the bump, I saw leaks that it’s gonna be as thick as an old iPhone.
I'm okay with a thicker phone but I'd be much happier with a new Mini - MagSafe, thick or whatever. The next phone possibly be the last phone I buy before I leap to an Apple Vision Air.
I have to say, I've never found the top of the phone "heavy", even when I had a gimbal. Started with an 8GB iPhone, then a 3GS, 5, 7, 11. Had car holders (first bouncing on windscreen and then clipped to an air vent) so I can see why MagSafe is cool - but it's not essential. It's just more convenient.
I sometimes think we all suffer from this pick-and-choose-itis, as if there's obviously some magical combination to this piece and that piece and a quick juggle of compromises, to get to a phone people can afford and use for many, many years. I still have a working original iPhone in its box, and the 7 is in a drawer along with the wife's 5s in case our 11s fail (so far, not). I think the choices they've made have overall been good but also I trust them not to obliterate MagSafe without a plan. They want you to be satisfied enough that your current phone will never just be tossed.
If this were so important it could be solved several ways, the easiest with registration recesses or, better yet, a mountable interface. I’m not buying the line that Apple is beholden to 3rd party bolt-on lenses as the core reason for not producing a flat-backed phone.
