Not for Everyone? New iPhone Cameras Could Trigger Trypophobia

For some people, the design of the cameras is more than just unappealing.

The new iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max feature three lenses. Some social media users claim that this design triggers their trypophobia. CNN reports.

Trypophobia is a fear of small holes and clusters of circles and irregularities, such as honeycombs, lotus flowers, and bubbles in a bath. The disorder can cause nervous trembling, skin itching, nausea, and a general feeling of discomfort.

Trypophobia is poorly studied. Jeff Cole, a visual scientist at the University of Essex in the UK, says that for people who suffer from trypophobia, images of grouped holes can cause a range of reactions of varying severity.

Apple's presentation also showed Kyiv's Comfort Town and a trailer for the new drama series "See".
