Their are?
Is the area for a comparable aspect ratio to the 7 plus larger or smaller on the screen on the iPhone 8?
I keep reading "the screen is bigger" but I can't figure out if people are including the top and bottom areas where the functions like signal strength and the home button will go.

The glass back is a bit annoying for me. Glass is much more slippery then a metal back. Also the white bezels do not work, would have been better for apple to make all the fronts black.
It is a mess, but how is this any different when the 6s was launched?

I'm tempted at any new SE as well, if it had Force Touch.
I was wondering if 7S will bring enough changes to be attractive for people who do not need “the latest & greatest”. iPhone 7 brought water resistance, not-moving home button, better sound, camera & brighter screen.
I've an iPhone 6 right now, works fine, maybe a bit slower and less responsive then at the day of purchase but I don't find this worth spending a staggering $1000,- or more for a brand new iPhone. So I'm going to wait for the iPhone 9 or 8S and probably buy the iPhone 8 then instead which will be lower in prize then.
But it all depends on the $1000,- mark, because I'm simply not going to buy a smartphone that will cost me over $1000,- dollars, period. Not that I can't afford it but because I don't think smartphones are worth that much money. It's just a principle thing for me.

Good point, I always think of thew question if a new phone is worth spending money on. Right now I own an iPhone 6, for me the biggest reason to invest in a new phone in a year or two would be, in order of importance:
- better battery
- better camera
- more responsive
- new features
Battery in combination with "snapshots" worth taking are the two main things I always looking forward to when buying a new iPhone because those two things, for me, are the most used features besides sending messages and e-mails, although battery isn't a feature that one really uses...
All the features starting to loose my interest. I used to have about 500+ apps all together, but the older I become the less I'm using them.
But I must add that I'm impressed with some of the AR features on the new iPhones but that comes along with the software I think. Measuring the length of your table or furniture with your iPhone camera is something I probably going make use of.
[whispers] Essy, blink your screen once if you want me to call the police. Blink twice and I will fight Por-

Porco: Yeah Mustang, you're not going anywhere anytime soon.
[Mustang cries]
Lol
A valiant effort Mustang, muhahahah....
I sincerely hope everyone looking forward to this new phone is happy with it, whatever they decide to name it. But it doesn't look like it's going to be for me. In some ways that is pleasing, in financial terms, for my wallet. However I would love Apple to design a new iPhone that really excites me more than the SE and I'm a little saddened they don't look like they're going to do that for the time being.
He did that once, how'd you get attached to that behaviour? Apple mistakenly releases firmware to the public and you want the police involved with those that downloaded it? That like me saying "I'm going to write my secrets on this whiteboard, please don't read it".

Jeez the guy probably hit "Post Reply" by accident, give him a break....
I thought about that too, but decided FT isn't nearly important enough for me to give up the better form factor. And if the 8's security is facial recognition only, FT could cook my breakfast and I'd still buy a FT-less SE.
I think they need to stop playing the number game with Samsung. That is part of the reason why I think it will be 8 or nothing. It's dumb, but I bet they don't want to come out with a 7 phone when Samsung has an 8 phone. Just for marketing reasons, it wouldn't be smart. One way to beat them at their own game is to just drop the number altogether.

Pro just means more features/better specs, same as it always has. This notion that pro has to mean something related to work or productivity is not accurate. It's just marketing.
Because this isn't an "S" type design. The 4 and 4S; 5 and 5S; 6 and 6S looked essentially identical. The biggest change was Touch ID.
The upgrade from 6S to 7 broke the tradition - the design was very similar to the previous generation.
This phone seems to feature a design that's as different as the jump from 6S to 7, if not more. Therefore, based on Apple's very recent history, I'd guess they'll name it 8.
Two separate comments.
The garbage refers to the video and why it is considered news.
The their comment is simply a grammar observation.
That's only your opinion. The official colors of Product RED are red and white, not black.
Here there is a functional reason for it to be black.

You'd say that, but you're completely ignorant of how this is actually going to work, and have never used the alternative. To form an opinion on things you know nothing about is simply to hate an agenda. A hater agenda.
That’s what I said in my other post but the OP stated ‘Pro’ was meant to differentiate productivity efforts. I agree that iPhone Pro (for the 8) would work perfectly and make sense marketing-wise to fit in with their other product lines.
