Notch vs bezels is subjective. What won't be is they'll still be way behind in their SoC performance.
Finger print scanner, headphone jack!? Lol I’m sure the people buying these phones want Cassette players in their cars
Except that it’s not as secure. Otherwise you could use it to authorize payments.
For someone who sings the praises of everything but iOS, you don’t half talk a lot in the iOS section of the forum...
Maybe it’s time to move on to where your opinion won’t fall on deaf ears.
I would rather have simple software experience that does not need weekly fix update like iOS11.
Yes, we know Apple is late as you indicated already twice in your post. But that's how they have always been with releasing certain technology, but I believe that they do it better than other competitors. When Apple releases a feature or product, it tends to have a more unique factor to it, similarly to the AirPods for example.
Airpod is worst design ever. Everytime I see them on somebody, I feel like throwing up. Do these people ever see themselves in the mirror to see what level of douchebag they look like with those two weird white sticks dangling out of their ears??
And that’s assuming the notch and protruding camera at all... most people don’t care about the protruding camera, its literally not an issue, same goes for the notch.
All I care about is the AirPods deliver the experience with comfortability and simplicity with excellent battery life. For those who are concerned with what someone else is wearing indicates insecurity to me.
You addressed this point, not me. But since you asked, I do like the AirPower can simultaneously charge the iPhone 8/X, Series 3 Apple Watch and AirPods at once.
In fairness, Apple hasn't really been the beacon of quality software recently. My personal experiences with iOS 11 on my iPhone 7 Plus has been overwhelmingly poor. iOS 10 ran relatively great from the beginning.

Most apple fans are very concerned about image, it's why they choose Apple.
And that's been your experiences, but mine differ from yours, I have not had issues with iOS 11 running on any of my iOS devices. It just goes to show you that there is varying experiences amongst all of us.
It's not even in retail...... there is nothing special about apple's wireless implementation in their phones . We all thought they would do something special ....nope....
Which has absolutely zero relevance to what I was referring to. You asked me about their wireless charging, I commented that I like that you can charge three devices simultaneously. It doesn't require an argument for a preference.
No I asked about wireless charging , and you commented about an accessory that is not even available. Your point is that Apple takes their time and does it better. Sorry, thier phones have stock wireless implementation. Let's not talk about devices that are not even in production ?
Not sure why you're apologizing for your own statement. However, it's not about necessarily the wireless implementation, ots what follows there after with the Airpower. Obviously there are third-party charges available, but the fact that you can conveniently charge three devices at once I find to be a convenience factor.
Regardless, it seems you have more of a concern then I do about this. So I'm not sure why you continually keep pushing you're narrative when it's not something that has to be mitigated with your own frustrations with Apple.
The best thing is you have to look at them, not the person enjoying them.
That's not an apology...... you are way off the mark! .....
No , I'm just calling you out in regards to you stating that Apple takes their time so they can do it right .
No, you're not calling me out, you're disagreeing with the fact of what I said based on Apple's history when it comes to releasing products/features. Fact of the matter is, that's how they do things, it's just your narrative doesn't agree with Apples timeline of what you consider "Better." If you choose to reply, at least staying on point without diverting irrelevant tangents.
So if the picture for the s9 is correct phones are getting little bit thicker now like the iPhone X I don’t mind that at all . But seriously what more can they do with these phones now pretty much new cameras and new better processors and ram and I guess new screens & bigger/better batteries.
I'm with Asarien. On my iPhone 7 Plus, I constantly have issues with the stock apps acting erratically. The biggest problem I have is the Messages app. Out of the blue, it will not show the input box. No place to type a message. Force quit and restart and it's fixed. Try to message a photo from Photos app and the app freezes. Those are just a couple. Never had problems like this in iOS 10.
