We got to build up rumors of that revolutionary "teardrop" design again.This reminds me when everyone was getting all jacked up on the magical "Iphone 5" that was suppose to release after the 4, and all we got was the 4s. I know its the iphones 10 year anniversary but im just gonna stick with it being a 7s until around july when we start seeing some juicy potato camera leaks
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 8 will most likely have the most drastic hardware design change since the first iPhone. Hard not to be excited.
The Samsung hardware will probably be superior to the next iPhone. The software and battery life will keep me purchasing an iPhone. But, maybe Samsung will surprise me.
I find the On Screen Time with the S7 Edge and Note 7 better than the 6S+ and the 7+. iPhone is still king with Stand-By Battery Life. But the margin is becoming very small, especially with Nougat. Even the V20 is close to having as good of Stand-By life as the 7+.
Performance, that's another issue. If Samsung goes with the 835 chip, then a big maybe. If they go with the 821 chip, then it most likely will not beat the 7+ performance. They will most likely go with the 835 though.
My battery life is erratic on my s7 edge. Sometimes is good. Sometimes not. My 7plus battery life is as good or better than a good day with my s7.
That was my experience with Stand By life. But my On Screen life was always better with the S7 edge.
Well the latest tumors are only the flagship iphone in what may be 5.8" will feature a total redesign and the 4.7" and the 5.5" will be cut from the same cloth as the ip7 and will be the 7s and 7s+.
If that's the case, I may seriously consider the s8.
I'll be damned if I pay $700 for a LCD iPhone and the same old design.
I'd be more inclined to try Android then and in another 2 years when the standard 4.7" iPhone finally gets AMOLED...then I may come back.
At least see how the other half lives.

They had it on MR news recently. iPhone "7s" said to be without a change in design. But then again, we see conflicting theories all the time here so I should know better.
