Agreed. I'll guess that more people watch 16x9 format more often than any other.

The iPhone's.If you're going to compare camera locations & bumps, the best comparison would be,
"Which one are you most likely to accidentally put your hand over?"
That's funny because I think the iPhone is ugly with that protruding camera that looks like it was slapped on at the last second.
Objectively this a comparison that doesn't make much sense. An unreleased phone with only mockups available that doesn't even come in the same screen dimensions. Bashing on about features like dual OIS yet not knowing if apple have that now. Bashing apple processors for some unknown reason, but admitting they're still faster. Showing a stylus that EVERY note 7 and before user either lost or put away, never to be used again.
I think the note line is a great phone minus the exploding issues, it was also stupid to continue the name IMHO there will be people out there who will on purpose try to make it catch fire for compensation. The media will go mental at the first fire. The iPhone could be almost anything right now all we have is a rough physical mocks with minor details, there might even be a plus model coming later to be a valid comparison.

The iPhone looks even worse from the front with the top notch.
Well you see I am the opposite. The iPhone 8/ pro is too small for me. And I'll be loose real estate over my 7 plus.
I do prefer iOS but the iPhone pro doesn't sound interesting to me.
The main thing is that it's going to be too small, especially when the competition are offering much bigger displays.
The price is also putting me off. On principal because I don't see anything cutting edge with the iPhone 8 hardware to warrant such a price. Particularly when android OEMs have offered the same for less for some time.
iOS 11 on the iPhone is a damp squid. Great on the iPad which prompted me to get the new 10.5 inch pro but not the new iPhone.
I'm sorry. Ur that's. It true. Whilst I agree there isn't much point in bashing Apple based on unknown features. However it's simply not true about the stylus on the note series. Some do not use it but many do and I've had 3 note phones and I've never lost the s-pen. My husband who is very careless had the note 3 and very lost the S-pen.
The reason your not feeling iOS 11 on the iPhone is because the real new features of iOS 11 are likely to be exclusive to iPhone 8.
Currently using the S8+ as my main phone.
I already pre-ordered the Note 8.
Also have an iPhone 7+.
The factors that really have to convince me to go for the iPhone 8. Battery size/life, how good Face ID is, and some type of wow factor. Otherwise, I'll just stick with the iPhone 7+ and wait for a 8S.
I'm concerned about battery life, cause my S8+ destroys my 7+ with onscreen life. 7+ has 2900mAh and S8+ has 3500mAh. The Note 8 will have 3300mAh. The Note 8 will be slightly less life or the same as the S8+. Which is very good. The questions is how much difference (if any) will the battery be between the 7+ and iPhone 8? And how much of a difference will the OLED screen make? I'm wondering if the 7S+ will get the biggest battery, but I'm not interested in that phone at all.

It cannot unless it is much thicker, simple as that. God, why those this crap come up over and over and over.
The reason: physics and the increasing focus on the camera; there was no bump before was because the phone was thicker and the sensor smaller (there is no real choice in this matter).

Actual tests don't show this "destruction"... and the reason the battery is bigger is that IT IS A BIGGER PHONE.
Unless your using the phones in exactly the same way, you can't really judge their battery at all (and that's what reviews do).
It's not the same as holding patents on the invention. They licensed (or whatever the terms) technology patented 30 years ago to make it slightly better than what is available today with still issues to be worked out.
And I've got a few people who lost 3-4, so what's the actual point of that comment?
Losing the stylus is not a real knock against the Note, those things are easy to lose in general no matter what device you have. Being a bland almost copy of the S8 is a knock though.
Not much of a difference to actually objectively say the design wasn't copied.

This is up for debate if one is objective in the comparisons of different screen shots between the two cameras that are across the internet,
It's not debatable. The professionals at DX0MARK who are paid have concluded Samsung have better cameras.
I am running ios 11 on two 5s. I can't believe how much better the beta of iOS 11 is over 10.3.3 in every aspect. Of course some features are hidden for new hardware; 7s and iPhone x edition.
Out of 20 phones.
S8+ came out #1.
iPhone 7+ #15.
LG V20 is last place at #20.
I've have the S8+, 7+, and previous had the LG V20. This test is absolutely accurate with my experience.
Hopefully the OLED display helps the iPhone 8.
