Frustrated iPhone 6 Owner Grinds Off Protruding Camera [Video]

Posted September 22, 2014 at 8:53pm by
Frustrated with the iPhone 6's camera sticking out, this person took a grinder to the device.

Got frustrated with the camera sticking out; now it finally sits flat on a table.


Making a good design better.
...with a grinder machine.

I dont even notice the camera sticking out, and if your really worried about it not sitting flat on a surface then you need to get your OCD sorted out!

You shouldn't settle for a second class product, I am speaking when apple hid the bumpy camera. Steve jobs would have NEVER allowed such an unfinished design hit the stores. Simply no. And at such Price! Shame on you Apple and Shame on you for being conformist and accepting this when you know you deserve better.

I actually find the camera very attractive with a nice case. It gives it dimension besides its true functions.

The little camera actually bugs the hell out of me. I don't use a case.... I don't spend extra money on a device to need a case. If I drop and break it I replace it. If I wanted a camera bubble I could have just stuck with Android. Only way the camera could look worse is if it was square and centered.

This is called using excess brains over a camera ......

That's an ex Samsung user. Give them time to get their head on right.

On every level this is…, as bad as the who works for Samsung - the first guy who dropped his iPhone..

It's easy to use cover on it and it will be good and flat ;)

I can't believe I'm saying this, I'm going to end up like some of the fanboys on this site, but this HAS to be a Samsung joke or some crap: there is no way someone would genuinely care about the protruding camera, and I lay my 6 down on the table, it doesn't wobble or anything. Come on!

You have a point actually.

Is he that picky over tiny kens. Besides it barely makes a difference with it sticking out. He couldn't just buy a de net case?

I just want to see what happens when they open the camera app to take a photo... On a side note most of the time one would buy a protective cover of some sort and in that case the camera would then not protrude :)

Wonder if it were the size would he cut some off !
