The iPhone camera bump is the "jumped the shark" moment for me when Apple went from unwilling to accept that level of quality to "I'm not sure... they might". Speculative to be sure, but I believe that if Jobs was alive we'd have a paper thin camera sensor because the bump would have been a nonstarter.

Same regarding your comment... I agree, the minimum QC does feel like it notched back a bit.

I disagree. The camera bump was functional pragmatism winning out over Jony Ive's increasingly form-driven ideals.

Even the Jobs Reality Distortion Field couldn't alter physics.
