The article discusses concerns over Apple's stagnating design innovation as the iPhone approaches its 20th anniversary. Recent renders of the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro suggest a departure from traditional design, notably with an elongated camera bump and a thinner device. However, this raises concerns about usability and balance, as well as a possible lack of true innovation beyond adding camera lenses. While such features might offer new functionalities, skepticism remains about Apple's ability to create meaningful design advancements, especially given the prevalence of memes lampooning their design approach.
We've been complaining for a while that Apple seems to be stagnating from a design perspective.
It certainly looks like there could be room for a second display up there, perhaps for notifications?
Countless memes have poked fun at the brand over the years, depicting its design teams adding an extra camera lens and calling it a day.
This time around it looks like they might stretch the camera bump to the end of the device and thus make the entire device look weirdly unbalanced.
