I think your complaining is just for show.
If you have the latest 7 why in the world would you buy the 8? The days of phone "flipping" are over; the jumps in tech and features are really slim these days.
I have a 6 (not the 6S or +) and considering it's paid for and the newest versions haven't been a big enough leap for me so I have been waiting to see if the 8 (or whatever it will be called) is there.
What do I want?
1. Screen size without jumping to the plus sizes.
2. Bright screen.
3. Battery Life.
4. Battery life.
5. i like the waterproof feature.
6. Battery life.
Other than these things the current phones work really well!!!!
Price is certainly a good point but for the same storage size, this article says it's only $130 more. Totally worth it in my opinion, and I'm one of the people who buys the base model, base storage iPhone because I can't justify more than $649. I can't imagine dropping $869 on a phone then balking at something objectively way better for only $130 more. But I'm sure you're right that people will buy it. And Apple has probably whittled down production costs and can produce the plus size relatively cheap now.

The flash works really well even with people now.
there is no silver trim... if you zoom in that's the lip that the stops it coming gut of the hole. Will be flush.
The back looks glass / ceramic - so "shouldn't" scratch like the jet black.
No glare issue. Not how flashes work.
I think for sure this is it. If u look on the iOS 11 software way of doing things. Like the way lockbutton/homebutton is essentially removed by merging notification center with a lockscreen. it leaves the option for making the lockbutton a home button.
The outline on the battery makes tons of sense and the layout change of the signal bars. This is a change apple has been working for a long time, when looking at how the ui now functions we have seem clues for years. I for sure believe there will be a gestural way to get to multitasking tray or they might even merge the powerscreen and multitasking screen together. I see that as the largest layout and ux issue. Like they already combined one screen. They have also done numerous tweaks to the audio hud, in smart adapting ways to what you are using on your screen. I think siri will move into control center as a toggle, but also be available as the traditional «hey Siri». They have for sure opened a door to create control center toggles for developers.
We might get a function bar at the bottom with contextual menues, which is an easier nicer and richer approach for most use cases. It will make sense that this is very linked to control center toggle actions, or close to the share menu toggles. I think they’re trying to integrate pieces they already have and unify the experience and polish them. It will be very difficult to predict what way they choose, but the Apple way is the way to be smart about it, and reuse what they already have, at least for me this seem to be their trend.

No they won't or they wouldn't have done it... they will be space for the icons. so more screen space for the main apps - as per the concept designs. probably wrong as the designer s
BUT - I think the concept photos are probably wrong as the icons / battery will change to fit the space better
Hands up who gets incredibly restless at the sight of iPhone components and gets a sudden urge to go down the Apple Store and preorder the next model - even if it's Sunday afternoon and the place is closed? Me for one!
So imagine how excited I'll be when I see actual photographs of the real thing and assembled as well? I've already joined the iPhone 8 Owners Club in readiness.

Apple = real innovation = embedded Touch ID on to the freaking screen.
Monkeys = just move it to the back and call it a day.

THIS is what I skipped the iPhone 7 for, and I am thinking that was a great decision. Please let this be real and please let the price tag not completely bend me over.
Same, but i'm getting it before you and your order will be back-ordered 2 months
I’ve just upgraded my internet to 1000 Mbps just for this so you’ll have to wait after me
You are probably right... I really hope not though. I hate how Apple calls things "edition". Can't stand that type of naming theme.
I am surprised how many people can't see that t his is flush... that's a bevelled edge lip it slots in from behind.
you need to see the full size image I think...

The price can can be bend me over. I'm buying it. Ready for something different and refreshed. Especially OLED being the biggest factor and more display.
Er. What? Wait no...er? What? Did you just say that? Um... I am currently trying to decide if you are serious or have a different idea about camera lenses and how circles work? Or you have chunky fingers?
The CE 0682 is a certification mark in the EU*. My iPhone has this marking in similarly sized text as this picture. The biggest difference is that it is usually a subtler colour. I don't really notice it on mine like you do on the one in the picture.
The boldness of the text might indicate this is a fake, but it could be the lighting making it show more or it's just a prototype without the refinements.
* CE 0682 mark is a designation that all mobile phones in the EU display.
Let me see if this will clear this up. Current iPhone 7+ for landscape video you have to hold phone landscape mode where the current camera is vertical. New phone already vertical camera=landscape mode video?
