Don’t be such a killjoy. So what if it looks like an iPhone 6? At least we know the design is tried and tested. I’m looking forward to getting my 8 on Friday, and I will enjoy it.
LOL I want the iPhone 8 - we don’t all have ginormous hands. Don’t see why it should be ‘retired’ (as you put it), lots of people enjoy the 4.7 inch form. Personally I see more of that size in the wild than the Plus size.
