Surprisingly, I found the flush makes the phone much easier to pick up from a flat surface like a table.

Also I think stops the camera scratching as much.

Flush means the whole thing lies flat on the table, a lump means an edge of it is on the table but the bit on the lens isn't. Recessed would fix that but adds even more size.

> camera scratching

Camera glass in Samsung and Chinese phones simply crack from laying them repeatedly on a flat surface. With iPhones one at least has to be unlucky and hit the camera with some rock.

that's because Apple, instead of using glass uses sapphire for its camera lenses.
