When watching videos I reckon the function area will become part of the display- allowing for nearly 5.8” of display- more than th 7+. And yes, it will be narrower, but have you ever watched a film on your phone and noticed how narrow the content is. Apple has thought this through.


Right and True but that Extra 0.3" when Watching a full screen video won't be like an "ahah moment" of how this how watching videos was meant to be. If you do not belive me go into any Store and try uisng the 5.8" Galaxy S8 for 2 minutes and you see how it feels.

Whats really gonna feel bad is when Texting or using Social Media, or reading or writting Emails or browsing the web or Forums instead of Having 5.5" Available like on the 7 PLUS you will have 5.1" and 0.7" of an action bar with virtual Home button.
 
What I'm really afraid of now is the future price of the iPhone 8.
I can sold my iPhone plus for a 7s next year. It's not a problem for me.
My choice will depend of the price
