For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

The reason for all the lens's on the back is technical. They can't put a regular camera lens so they use multiple ones each with different focus ranges.
Even using a regular DSLR you need to swap lenses for different situations.
They are not interchangeable lens's though are they? They are literally different camera modules with different optics. When you're talking about a camera (not a phone) that makes sense. I'm not buying a camera am I? I'm buying a phone so all those optics and camera modules are forced on me to purchase when buying a smart phone. That's the state of today's smart phone market.
They can't be large DSLR style interchangeable lenses because of the form factor. Nor can a single tiny lens even have the range of a compact digital camera because of the form factor. But by adding extra lenses to cover different focus ranges, a smart phone can replace the compact digital camera device. They can't be as good as a DSLR, but I haven't needed anything but my phone and DSLR in years where before I bought a new compact digital camera every few years.
