people complained that touch ID was too fast and they couldnt see their notifications. in response, iOS 10 makes you press home a second time to unlock, but people complained about that too. now they're making it an accessibility option in beta 3, and presumably people will complain that their favourite way isn't default. others will complain that there's an option at all.

faster hdr maybe?

theyre too close together to be a 3d thing, yea?

most of the current dual-camera setups are useless marketing garbage set up with two different focal lengths. a normal focal length and a wide angle lens. the camera zooms seamlessly(ish) between the two cameras so you get better quality across a range of zooms without having to make the camera deeper.

yes they are too close together to get any kind of meaningful 3d effect.

its dumb as hell that they say it's Xmm thin when the camera bump is greater than X. the thickness should be measured at the thickest point, not the thinnest.

You actually raise an excellent point.
Someone start a class action about how it's false advertising and make up some way that this lie about its thickness impacted your life and companies will start making phones with decent battery life again.

can the pin connectors transfer battery power? Would be cool to get a battery case that didnt have to hog the only port on the device

can't be stereo unless the triangulation angle is like 45 degrees and its a loving microscope

theres some super resolution techniques that use multiple cameras though

they can on ipads pro (logitech, among others, i'm sure, make charging docks utilizing it). i doubt it would be any different on an iphone
