Does the new iPhone creep you out? Scientists grapple with why tiny holes scare some people
#1
Three lenses are a lot better than two - unless they send you reeling in disgust.

That's the unexpected reaction thousands of Apple fans shared on social media as images spread of the back of the new phone, where the trio of lenses are crowded into a small square near the top left corner.
"The new iPhone is creeping me ... out with the 3 little cameras," one Twitter user wrote.

The backlash comes from people who say they suffer from an obscure and perplexing condition called "trypophobia" - a fear of clusters of small holes like those found in shoe treads, honeycombs and lotus seed pods.

An almost full page picture of yours truly appeared in that newspaper about 33 years ago. Overfold of the front page, no less…

I would say it's approaching arachnid appearances.

And I feel like I'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering, furry holes...

..........When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so f*ckin' special


But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here...........

The one of the, eh, dog's skin is just about the grossest thing I've ever seen.
