    My opinion, without the sarcasm though.

    They should have kept it one mm thicker to eliminate the camera sticking out, and add the ambient light sensor.

    Exactly. It would of been win,win. Ambient light sensor in the ipt and no camera sticking out. What happened to no compromising?

    I didn't know anyone actually used the light sensor. Is it true that it really won't fit?

    Everybody uses the light sensor. Who doesn't have auto-brightness on?

    I never used it. I just didn't find it useful because it wasted my battery life. If it was bright, it took it to full brightness even when 75% could do.

    I agree it would've been nicer to have the camera not stick out and keep the sensor. Apple's obsession with thin is weird.

    That said, I don't care that much. iOS 6 makes the thing not even work anyway (at least I can't get it to) and I guess this is what jailbreaking is for (tons of convenient brightness slider apps on Cydia).

    It seems Apple is becoming anorexic
