    I don’t mind a camera bar (or “visor”). It’s better than the stupid bump they used to use, because it’s stable, and it also provides a slight angle that makes the phone a little more visible when it’s laying on a desk.

    What I don’t like is a super thin phone that has no meaningful battery and is easy to bend. “Bend” means that dropping it results in more than just shock force.

      Take a look at JerryRigEverything’s iPhone Air video.

      It took 200+ pounds of force, in the middle of the device, to bend it. It was very impressive.

        I’ve heard that, and it’s very impressive. Unfortunately, I weigh more than 200 pounds, and putting a significant fraction of my weight on the device is not a particularly remote possibility, given my track record.
