Then white....but I don't think they're going to release an iPhone with a white front camera notch to be honest.
I think they will put it on the right side of the status bar since they changed the cellular design from dots to the old close bars = More Space!
Or maybe TouchID has nothing to do with applePay because the Awatch can have Apple Pay with an iPhone that lacks touchid already...
Also use the wrong finger on touchid 3 times and guess what you're prompted with? Your passcode..
I really hope they don't make the status bar black. I love it when it blends with the applications. It even makes the screen looks bigger and colorful!
or let them add status bar settings to Settings to be able to choose how it looks. It would make everyone happy

What about just doing a dark theme? Have the whole display blend into the phone and notch? Also if it's OLED, using a dark theme would save a good deal of battery.
I'd embrace the notch, but I am expecting a dark mode specific for the OLED iPhone 8 also which should make it all a moot point as it will hopefully blend in with the rest of the UI.
So iPhone 8 owner has to also own an Apple Watch? Yeah that will go over well.
Really hope they put the back functions on the bottom of the screen like that. Reaching up or double tapping to bring the display down is super inefficient.
bottom left for me please. For some reason I think the sensors look cool...I probably won't be saying this after a year with the phone, but for now it looks cool to me.
Hmmmm ya depends how well this facial recognition works but ya seems like it would be a bit of a pain to have to have it pointed directly at your face to unlock. That and price especially for us Canadians.
These concepts by random internet people are always the worst. They are a great way to get an idea of what the product will NOT look like.
I have 3 of them, but this is not a legitimate or funny thing, people shouldn’t need $400 to be able to glance at the timeTo Apple Watch
Don't get me wrong, from a visual standpoint it makes perfect sense, and looks amazing. But I just picked up my iPhone 7 to see how the ergonomics would work, and it's kind of awkward. Most people who hold their phone one-handed rest it on their pinky. Well, at least in my case, my pink naturally rests right below where the back button would be, making it weird to tap. Also, if you try to move your pinky to make it easier to touch that part of the screen, the phone feels unstable and top heavy.
Just my two cents tho, I'm sure we'll all get used to it.
It really has its drawbacks, especially with the Plus phones. I haven't even had my Plus a year (first timer) and I find the navi functions bothersome and super awkward to reach using one hand. Especially things like the music app.
