The area where reception and the battery display are looks horrible. apple should have kept the screen a straight line. I hope this design doesn't stick for the iPhone plus model in 2018.

Not right! Just look at the signalbars(dots in this case). They just took image from Google and put their current app over it. Clearly a publicity stunt from McDonald's to gather more attention.
Wait, you're saying Ronald McDonald's love letters won't be a good MacRumors replacement?

Alright guys, you'll have to endure me a little longer, maybe Burger King will get it right next year...

I don't know whether I hate protruding cameras or hate rat nibbled notched displays more.
Both solutions are just so unrefined and ridiculous. Apple design has lowered its standards.
This is how beautiful refined design looks. This is iPhone 5c. No notches. No protruding cameras.
Now, imagine that white plastic was actually glass.
Rethink your rubbish design, Apple!

Rat Nibbled Notches? Hyperbole. The design of the iPhone that you posted of the 5c is antiquated and outdated. One view point of a MacRumors forum member doesn't constitute the millions of iPhones that sell successfully on an annual basis because of what you Dislike over today's iPhone standards.

You Don't have to appreciate the design of the current iPhone or protruding camera, but you trying to short sell the iPhone by making it sound like it's garbage, is preposterous. If You choose to live in the past with the old iPhone designs, then so be it. But With technology and today's design changes are moving past your expired expectations and into those that can see passed your myopic view points of what you consider "Rubbish." Fortunately, you don't design iPhones for the millions of others who do appreciate the design.
 
Yeah, usually they have to keep quiet about this sort of thing ...
Of course you don't want to annoy Steve's ghost. I've read his spirit lurks Cupertino, often overseeing what the employees are doing. Sometimes Jony pours himself and Steve's spirit a snifter.
 
Wow, I surely hope iPhone 8 doesn't end up looking like that.... It looks horrible!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It looks so dated to me! The bezels around it are still fat. The reception and battery status bar looks so misplaced... I know it's a mockup so I hope it's not real. As much as I dislike the company Samsung, I've to give them credit for their design of the S7 and S8.
