I wish they had done the backs like the iMac backs. You know what I mean? Like have the sides be the same, but have the backs be richer. But yeah, I mean, my main complaint about the colors, I mean, despite the fact that I think the black and the white look really good, the black and the white take two slots that could have been other interesting colors. You know what I mean?

Like where's the yellow? Where's the purple? Where's the red? Yeah, that's true. But still, pretty good year for colors. I mean, all these colors leaked, obviously, although this is one of those cases where Apple's product photography of the colors looks better than the leaked shots of someone just taking a picture of them or whatever.

But probably the truth will be somewhere in between when you actually go to the store and look at these. But yeah, there's not an ugly color in the bunch, that's for sure. But the most important thing about these phones physically-wise is, and I know we talked about this, the vertical cameras, right?

but realigning them in that way minimizes the camera mesa in a way that we haven't seen in years because when they were in an angle it was always like there's a square mesa and it's got a bunch of crap on it and it's a smaller square than the pro square but it's still a square and now we've gone back and now it's like hey you know the phone that doesn't have as much camera stuff it's

That has a capsule. Back in โ€“ what was the last one they did? Like the XR maybe or the โ€“ which I don't remember which โ€“ or maybe the XS was the last one. They've used this arrangement before.
