Each unto their own. Get used to Face ID as that will be standard on all iPhones eventually. As already said, cameras and earpieces and sensors need to go somewhere, and that will be shrunken bezels. Small, not got rid of entirely, and for good reason - it's a phone, not a television mounted on a wall.

After buying the iPhone 8 and iPhone X my verdict is...

Currently impossible. I'm not saying it will be possible soon, but yeah, the notch isn't going anywhere for a while.
I never had those issues with any of those phones, same with my X. The issues are overblown. Every phone has new tech and is susceptible to issues. The iPhone 8 has its share as well.
Yeah doesn’t the 8 or 8 plus Suffer from Split Gate. Where the phone just splits open after the battery expands.
Fair enough, it’s not for you. Just like the notch isn’t for a lot of people.
But I never said it was. Let’s face it until we become a less obsessed civilization that selfie camera ain’t going nowhere.
it still runs simple ios 11, just like every current iphone too.... feels in the end like, well, an iphone. those exaggerating threads on MR LOL
There will always be issues with some phones when it comes to manufacturing millions of devices. No reason to deem it a "gate" as that typically means it is a widespread issue. If it's a widespread issue, there is a recall issued.
Yes You are right just last week bought the iPhone 8+ with 24 payments so 2019 is good thanks for your point
Happy thanks giving
Ouch. Be careful though, I hear there is something even better coming out in 2020. That might be the one to hold out for, if you can.
My wife got an 8+ and I have an X - we love both of them. She isn't into technology so got the 8+ - I am so got the X.
Both are great.
Both are great.
That's what I did. I'd been wanting a Challenger since they came back in 2008. The car looked good... but could look better. I also didn't like the interior on the 2008-2014 models... too much like a minivan.
The blue is the 2015 refresh... based off the 1971 model. The 2008-2014's on the right are based off the 1970.
2015 interior vs the 2008-2014 interior.
It's not even close. Dodge nailed it with the refresh.
My 2015...
Was worth the wait.
4200 lb beast she is... I told my friends you wanna drive a muscle car... get a Challenger. If you wanna drive a sardine can... get a Mustang.
I can’t comment on the X but I did upgrade from a 6s to an 8 and I think hardware wise it’s perfect but iOS 11 is just a buggy pile of crap.
I’d love it if iOS 12 was basically just one massive bug fix. Iron out all the kinks and bugs and make the software as refined and perfected as the hardware.
In all honesty I had hoped for a redesign because I knew I was upgrading this year and I was a little sceptical thinking I’d feel like I bought the same phone twice. But I am actually really enjoying owning the 8. I adore the colour (went for gold) and I love the speed and camera improvements over the 6s.
The X was never in the running for me because for my needs there’s nothing it does or has that makes it worth £400 (X plus AppleCare+ v the 8 plus AppleCare+) more than I paid for the 8

Sorry for off topic. I got you beat. My Ford SHO weighs 4,327 pounds, but yet can keep up with a Corvette (But the Vette has a faster shifting transmission). Still fun though.
Nice car! I was just messing with him because we have been going back and forth on these forums for some time now. I have a 2015 Mustang GT so I can always appreciate another muscle car.
