0.2 inches more, and it would be exactly double the screen size of the original iPhone. Think about that.
And it's already double some of the early Androids that had smaller screens.

You can have all of the these features NOW and not be hindered or limited by iOS.....or you can have iOS and none of the others.....understandably difficult choice eh?
Timing is important. A few years ago people were actively missing the headphone jack. In 2019, when everybody can get Bluetooth earphones for the same price as Apple’s wired earbuds, it is no longer an issue.
For you and others, sure no issue.
Shrugs. I do not want something else to charge or lose.
Note is nice, but too big & $$$$ for me.
Am I the only one that is thinking meh? This is coming from someone who was considering going Android for my next phone. I'm just going to keep my iPhone XS Max this year because phone innovation in my opinion is dead. Bezel less screens, pop up cameras, Whoop de do. The Galaxy Fold if it didn't have problems would be tempting.
Other than a few quirks, I don't feel hindered or too limited by iOS ( I do have a Note 9 on a second line ). I prefer the UX of iOS over Android, but somewhat bottle necked by iOS's restrictions ( like true multi-tasking ) and the new iPhone's design language. So yeah, clearly a compromise on either eco-system for me.
They were always going to copy Apple several years down the track. After-all.... Samsung...
A whole month before the much rumored 6+. Like Samsung came out with the Samsung Watch first, after they heard that Apple was coming out with it.
It's foolish to put it on the left. There is a reason it always has been on the right.
How original...
It's not like they didn't have two successful models following the Note 7 fiasco.
What reason is that exactly?
Right or left doesn't matter... can I reach it? That's what matters.

I have just lost a BIG reason to replace my Note8 with this.
I still find Android way, WAY more user-friendly and intuitive to use than iOS's current finger-kung-fu-gesture-heavy-no-button-unintuitive mess, but iOS integration with my Macs is a VERY BIG DEAL.
Samsung just sabotaged themselves and leveled the playing field for me.
Perhaps. But so far my iPhones, my iPad Pro, and my 2014 and 2017 MacBook Pros all just work. YMMV. I understand Apple has made some questionable decisions no doubt, but they still offer the best options for me and I’m happy to be ‘hamdcuffed’ in their ecosystem...whatever that means.
Yeah...right. Someone who supposedly owns a Macbook Pro 15, iPhone XS Max 256, Apple Watch, Apple TV4K, Airpods and a 12.9" iPad Pro, and you were thinking of going Android? In the immortal words of Vizzini -- "Inconceivable!"
Come on man. Surely you have more to do than needlessly bash anything Apple on an Apple enthusiast website?? What you’ve described above is patently false on any account. Your watch doesn’t just stop working, particularly if it’s a newer gen.
Samsung never said the headphone jack was a forever solution. All they said was Apple removed it prematurely and that at the time it was bad for customers. I agree with that considering there were few quality wireless earbuds on the market at that time and the good ones were very expensive. Samsung has now has had two generations of phones that came with free wireless earbuds and quality wireless is not affordable to everyone. 2019/2020 is the right time.
