    The camera mountain on the back would have been flat. Maybe the phone would have been thicker with a better battery but it wouldn’t just bulge out.

      I’m not so sure. A phone as thick as the camera hump would be way more unwieldy than you think. And filling it with battery would make it very heavy. If they decided to keep the cameras shallow then the iPhone would be massively behind in camera taking ability.

        In Steve’s eyes, we would’ve used iPads for hours of pointless internet browsing, not phones.

        Phones would’ve stayed smaller.

      I can fit my 14 in jeans with a case on and a card holder on the back just fine. A phone that thick would be an absolute nightmare lmao

      Steve would have gone with a before making the phones thicker year over year.

      An iPhone 15 with the same camera and no bump would be thicker than the iPhone 4

      I no chance
