You always see the button side of the phone. The camera is on the opposite side. 1mm is likely to be obscured simply by the positioning in the photo.
If they cared so much about it to doctor the photos in a completely obvious way, why wouldn't they just make the case 1mm thicker instead of risking the lawsuits?
This whole article is troll bait.

No, the phone is shown at exactly right angles, and they're right, the lens is photoshopped out. Meanwhile, it's 1 mm. What is that, the thickness of 2 business cards?

How can you tell that it is shown at exactly right angles? All they have to do is offset the angle by the tiniest fraction and "boom", the lens bulge is obscured by the case.
As you said, it is 1mm, and they are shooting it from the other side of the phone in every photo/rendering I have seen.
I submit that you have to be able to see the back of the phone, or perhaps be "dead-on" to the side to see a "bulge" of such diminutive proportions.
That's not really "parallax" by the way.

It can't be at right angles to both the front and the back of the phone -- they are parallel, non-coincident planes.

Hello fellow pedant.
You have to extend the planes into the plane of the camera view.
When the front and back planes are extended it is entirely possible for the camera view plane to be perpendicular to both. In fact, it would be impossible for it to be perpendicular to only one since you pointed out that the front and back planes are parallel.

Greetings, attempted pedant.
You cannot extend planes. Planes are, by definition, infinite in expanse.
You are correct in pointing out that anything orthogonal to one plane is also orthogonal to every plane parallel to the first.
