New iPhone 8 Glimpse Combines Leaked Parts to Show Off What Device Might Look Like at Launch

This one looks like a banana, because it has a bottom bezel and is less wide , because of the curved screen.
I guess the bottom bezel is there because they did not have room for an edge2edge design on the bottom(because of headphone jack?)
I've been married for 8 years and have two children and it has been about 90 minutes, but sure.
Over the years I've found that people who typically don't have sex are the ones who go around on the internet saying "What a loser bet ya never even had sex!"
If we're going to get technical about who did stuff first. This was Samsung right before Apple released the first iPhone:
Just saying.
LOL! And the best thing about this, its Samsungs attempt to copy Blackberry.
Maybe wait for the keynote before you say something you can't back up. There is no indication, based on any rumor at this point, that the screen around the cutout will be useless. Just another Debbie downer.
Ok, so side bezels determines if something is yesterdays tech, not the upper and the lower bezels? Because in that respect the s8 will look yesterdays tech, won' t it?
I don' t see what curved down bezels with no extra practical function and disforming content , triggering accidental touches make something looks like future tech.
hopefully!!! I already feel so bad about my 5k $ Gluebook ProA superior phone made for superior people. I hope it costs north of 1 k to make it a truly luxery buy
Why we need less bezel? Why Apple needs to do everything their competitors do? Why Apple need to play catch up? Where is the point of competition?
I just don’t understand. Bezel means nothing to me. I need a comfortably held phone not an eye candy. Honestly don’t understand some of those obsessions against bezel. Look at those iPad. Easy to be bent, although having thick bezel may not help much.

I don't understand how replacing the bottom bezel with some sort of overlay touchbar for Touch ID and function keys is any sort of real improvement. All it does it replace the physical home button and you still take space at the bottom away from the display. So a 5.8-inch screen becomes only a 5.2-inch one. How is that an improvement? I think a well-planned rear Touch ID would be a better design. Also I don't like the look of the cutout at the top.
Everyone will have more sex once those cursed bezels are gone.
A thin bezel design is as beautiful as it is impractical.
Being able to hold your phone in a variety of ways without accidentally touching areas of the screen is a feature. Personally I would prefer functionality over form in this matter.

Or close enough that there are only very minor differences. Because you're right, waaaaaayyyy too many people/companies/testers are involved to keep something like this a secret. Maybe for the first iPhone, when even the suppliers didn't know what Apple was making, you could keep it mostly a secret, but now every year all of the tech and news sites know that their will be a new iPhone, and will work hard to find out what has changed. You might be able to do a little mis-direction but too many people know. The rumors by this stage of the game won't be far wrong.
I'm going to miss having the time there. I also think the circles were better, easier to tell your signal strength. At least, I think that's the reason Apple introduced them in the first place.
Except for Joni (who will be declared clinically dead as he can't continue to chastise the planet with bezels)

Go pick up an S8. Hold it in your hand and come back here and tell us it's not amazing.
First, it looks incredible with bezeless edges (just like any other screen or device that does the same, like every high-end TV).
Second, without bezels, the phone is more efficient with space; it's either narrower than an equivalent iPhone OR is has a wider screen. To argue otherwise is incredulously "fan-boyish."
I love how even on Samsung's own images of the S8 the rounded edges are effectively unusable bezels.

I think these are bad examples for AR (as was the one in the keynote), because there is no interaction between the VR world and the real world.
The VR content doesn't benefit from being placed on the table, nor does the real world. You might just as well view the content in plain VR and lose nothing.

Right... Bezeless... That big ass useless curve on the side IS a BEZEL, so not sure what the hell your talking about.
Looks like tv remote for being tall... anyway it will be change after Apple release.
