According to the rumors, the 7S is still happening along side the 8. I may hold out for 8S at this point.

Im praying that this design isn't real. That rabbit eared design just looks hideous, and it looks like pictures you take etc will all be abnormal because of such a stupid design!
Who is going to buy the 7s?
It will cost like iPhone 7 now, so a very high price, but it will be basically the same design for the forth year in a row.
Sound like a compromise to me, like I want a new iPhone but I cannot afford the new OLED bezel free model and I end up buying the 7s.
I'd rather keep my 6s and wait for another year when hopefully all their line up will be OLED and bezel free.
Perhaps anywhere on the screen? That wouldn't surprise me, and technically be possible.
I'm trying to figure out what the difference between stopping at the border of the cutout or stopping at the bottom of the bezel is. I guess I'm assuming that the areas to the left and right of the cutout would be used for informational icons, maybe trimmed to fit the restricted area (who needs the entire word Verizon when V would suffice) on a black background. Just my opinion.
If the entire front is really a screen then there are no bezels, only areas intentionally left dark/black, for whatever reasons. And, again if the entire front of the phone is a screen, any representation can be changed by software and may look different on the released phone.
All you have to do is look at the new prompt for Touch ID in iOS 11. It is right in the function area.
Totally get your point. Apple doesn't actually make freakin' amazing products, it's just that Apple tells people they do and people believe them. I guess that means these people are stupid or weak willed though I am not sure how that argument holds up when you look at the demographic that buy Apple products. What always amazes me is that Apple seems to be (one of?) the only companies that can do this, convince people to buy what are apparently crap products according to the majority of posters on MacRumors, but perhaps that's because they are (fill in the blank)? Maybe Steve Jobs' legendary "Reality Distortion Field" has lived on in the company long after his passing?
There is a "Reality Distortion Field" that exist here on the MacRumors Forum but unfortunately it has turned to the dark side leading to so many hateful posts with no basis in fact or reality, just complaints.
That’s actually pretty neat, I didn’t think about stacking them. Seems logical and actually looks decent. Nice work! Hopefully they go a similar route.
We're getting close to the part of the year where rumors start to become much more reliable. "iPhone 8" seems to be happening at this point but who knows?
My question is where in the screen is it embedded, is it all over the screen?
I mean, is it literally anywhere your finger rests? Or will you still have to move your registered digit to roughly the position that the home button sits on current and previous models?
Tired of seeing people butcher the concept, here's my edit that I made using ****** MS Paint. I really think the top area will stay black, looks much better this way.
Anywhere on the screen? How could you use any other 3D touch actions if the whole screen acted as a home button when force pressed?
Even if it was only the lower part of the screen that could act as a home button, it would interfere with 3D touch actions on icons in your dock.
The only solution I see, aside from putting the home button on the side or worse, on the back, is an always visible function area at the bottom at the screen (which the first rumors about this phone mentioned).
The problem is touch ID isn't magic; it's simply a camera looking at your fingerprint and comparing it to a stored image of that fingerprint. For it to work anywhere it would mean the entire screen would have to be a camera, not ever going to happen. For it to work a physical camera has to placed under the screen at a certain location, I'm guessing middle of the bottom of the screen. Or on the back.
It's the slightly larger that's the problem. I don't mind the extra height, but the 4.7 is on the edge of what I can grip one-handed and is still somewhat awkward to use compared to a 4 inch phone. The width is only predicted to be 5 mm bigger on the iphone 8, but I suspect that will be enough to make it too wide to grip in one hand. I'll definitely try in out in store to see how it handles since I may be wrong; I thought the 6 would be too big when it came out, but it ended up being okay. I have really small hands so I imagine the increased dimensions will be fine for most people, but I don't want to give up one-handed use.
Someone may have already said this, but what about the white-faced iPhones? That's the one thing that makes me doubt these renders. If that black cutout is white it will look like garbage.
Now I can totally see them doing something like thisTired of seeing people butcher the concept, here's my edit that I made using ****** MS Paint. I really think the top area will stay black, looks much better this way.
Ha. I just can't believe they would do anything like that?!?!
Looks good to me. I see no problem with it.
Oh, my bad. I envision a virtual home button with a touch bar like area to the left and right.
I cackled!!!I wonder if the front-facing camera will be prone to smudging from users swiping down for Notification Center.
