How can the Galaxy 8 and the Note be flagships when they aren’t the same price?
I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask here to be honest.
That's actually available on the iPad which doesn't have 3D Touch. It's activated by holding 2 fingers on the keyboard, they could have done the same on the iPhone.
"Apple's market cap will tank, and Samsung will be the talk of the town until Apple catches up."
really you sound like the ANALyst that said Apple will go out business if they didn't' release a watch in the next 60 days.
IMO - Apple is going nowhere - Apple customers (or fanboys if you want to call them that way) only care about Apple products and it is very unlikely they will switch to a competitor over any particular technology.
I would go for the new iPhone LCD models. For me, anyway 10 bit extended color space doesn’t add anything to the phone.

You would have to ask Apple. Why isn’t the SE a flagship? Because to keep the price down some compromises were made. Seems like there were fewer compromises in the 8 than the 6.1.

I love my notch! Apple better not take the notch away or I'm done with Apple....
It'll be better if they can turn it down a notch though
Still waiting for an Apple Flip Phone!
Self-contained; droppable without breakage; no need for a case; flip open a la Star Trek communicator (or left-right; offer choice); and could even have 3 screens—2 on the inside (top & bottom; or left and right— so you could run 2 apps in each window or park a larger keyboard in one) and even an Apple Watch type display on the outside!
Dreaming, but it sure would introduce some real excitement — and INNOVATION!

So Apple is going to sell 150 million iPhone in mid-September to end of year when before the most they ever sold was 80 million in the same time period? Do these analysts realize that the world is post-peak Apple? Yes they will probably sell 80 million iPhones in that same period this year and next year, but come on...
'Cheesed?" Same context as "irritated", or "livid?"

Super Flagship. I'd hold on to one. Could become a collectors item. No S model this year. 6.1 LCD takes it's place and the 7/7+/SE become the entry points. I may be off, but if not mine will be discharged, sealed back in it's original packaging and placed in the "Archive Room."
Ummm... the article specifically states that the 100 million number is for the "model year" so roughly from Q4 2018 to Q3 2019. While Q4 is definitely the highest iPhone sales quarter it is not the only that iPhones are sold in.
Could someone please explain to the dumbasses at Apple that all they had to do was take the same screen size that was in the iPhone 6,7,8 Plus and make it bezel-less?! That’s it! Huge screen real-estate... much smaller phone. Assuming these rumors are true... they did just that with the 6.1 screen... but then went ahead and dumbed it down with inferior specs so you have to buy the "too small" iPhone X or the "too big" iPhone X Plus... or whatever they'll call it. Genius.
The idea is not replace a port with another one (makes no sense at this time and age), but to remove cables once for all. The future is wire-less, what you propose is a dated idea. We should be looking forward to new wireless technologies, not the other way around.
'Cheesed?" Same context as "irritated", or "livid?"
Yeah...p!ssed off. Livid is probably a little strong.
It's just a phone...
All the men in the world? Not me though. Count me out. I'm still happily toting my rose gold MacBook along with matching white-pink wallpaper and going to work in a bright pastel-colored polo shirt with beige chinos.
You don't have to go monochrome to be manly. Life has so many colors, so why limiting your fashion choice with just monochrome?
Manliness argumentation aside, for me darkUI is a necessity to ease nightime usage while still maintaining color accuracy. Not everyone loves their off-color, so-called Night Shift mode.
But the price isn’t down. It’s the exact same usual price we have been used to for years. This 6.1 is just a 2014 IPhone 6 Plus with a new CPU,more RAM and FaceID and an inferior display.
No, the display is bigger with less bezels. Similar to the SE being the size of the iphone 5/5s with upgraded internals. There is no dual camera lens as in the iphone 8. So apple created a phone with a larger lcd display, but less hardware than the flagships, which in September was the iphone 8/8+/X. So this phone follows a similar pattern and is not a flagship.
Wow, that's really stupid.
I have no desire to use Face ID. I don't want OLED, LCD is great. But I do appreciate a good camera, and the home button is very good technology that should be kept, and force touch is pretty cool.
So, how about a thicker phone (maybe even as much as a quarter inch) with a great processor, a huge battery (I know a quickly replaceable one so I can have one battery charging while one is on the phone is too much to ask for at this point, never mind that the technology to do so is readily available and very mature, and it would be incredibly easy for Apple to do) with great cameras and no stupid camera bump, a home button, and an LED screen without the silly notch?

Its not bigger.Its uses a 18:9 aspect ratio which means effectively the same screen area as the 8 Plus. The 6.4 OLED iPhone is the only iPhone which has a bigger display.
iPhone X~ iPhone 8
iPhone 6.1~ iPhone 8 Plus
Its even inferior to the current 8 Plus in many ways. It lacks dual cameras,lacks 3D Touch, the display quality is a downgraded TFT. Its bascially a 2014 6 Plus with no bezels, and a spec bump and an inferior display. Even the iPhone 7 Plus is superior to it and costs the same as before
Your basically proving the point it’s not a flagship and therefore similar to the iPhone SE it will be missing hardware. However the soc will blow the 7 out if the water.
I can’t figure out why I don’t like Android. I think the idea of more customization should draw me to it, but it doesn’t. Every time I use one, I always go crawling back to my iPhone.
Yeah, I have an 8Plus, but I’m not really sure exactly what 3D Touch does. It’s not incorporated into my typical uses of my phone.
