The Galaxy Note 8 will even make the 5.8-inch iPhone 8 look tiny

[44267547]

Given the size of iPhone 8 compared to Note 8 it looks really Small and downgrade to me Apple should have retained the Plus model in 6.4 form factor.

Have you seen the iPhone 8 yet? Then how does this look a like a "Downgrade" to you or how are you able to compare both devices based off a render?

Also, how could of Apple retained a 6.4 form factor if there was never a 6.4 iPhone to begin with?

I overreacted here i understand. Don't get me wrong i am actually very interested in this year's iPhone. Given the OLED and bezel less display. This is nearly a dream come true for me. The only thing i am little bit concerned about is screen size. But that's fine. That's only for one year.

Based on rumors Apple will launch 6.4 inch iPhone next year which i am looking forward to. Very very excited to see my 6.4 dream iPhone

The Note 8 is already tiny compared to my 6.44" Mi Max from last year. Yeah, tini tiny Samsung, so small.

theres a reason 7 Plus or Plus series in general outsells the standard size phone. Most importantly are Texting any male with normal or large hands may have a hard time texting and a smaller display or device. And while the new iPhone 8 is likely 5.8" diagonally its overall display size makes it comprable in size to the 4.7" iPhone along those lines a small device is difficult to hold. Sometimes I find my old iPhone 5s and its comically small.
Watching videos and Social Media are hands down better on a larger device.

My favorite form factor is 5s or se size. I'm using my old 5s to test iOS 11 and it is sooooo comfortable, what to do.

Would love to have a phone with the size of the iPhone7 and the bezels of the i8..... let's hope the rumors of next years phones are true.

Apple would never allow that many apps on one page. They'll limit it to 24-30 apps with thick spaces between each app.

And a true waste of space on the iPad.

Kinda like on my Pro ...

Apple really should allow actual live widgets..a home display with just icons is a boring mess.....

Widgets are like playing Flash. I have an S8+ and widgets are largely useless on the home screen.

Bixby’s integration of widgets is more valuable.

i'm happy they chose to release the smaller phone first and for once the smaller phone will be top of the line again.

Useless to you...okay

It seems likes phones are just making the screens larger by making them longer and not any wider. It's going to lead to some weird aspect ratios.

Agreed. The Note 8 is a bit too long and narrow for me.

 

[penajmz]

Next year I will probably be interested in a larger iPhone Edition which the rumors are starting for already.

 

[4ppleg1rl]

They should just add a call function to the biggest iPad and call it the iPhone 9

 

[janeauburn]

Now i am really hoping Apple make a 6.4 iPhone next year.

Well, my 32-inch Samsung monitor makes the iPhone look tiny, too. But then again, I don't carry the 32-inch monitor in my pocket.

It would be fun to field test various sizes. The Note 8 looks intriguing, but it's not like Samsung found the sweet spot. They have more of a kitchen sink game plan.

That camera bump, vertical alignment and fugly notch. Apple failed me this time around.

Apple didn't fail you. They didn't design iPhone with just you in mind, aside from the millions of users who they did design the iPhone for. Your preferences doesn't align with their design and engineering means because you have limitations that you can't see past why the Notch exists to maximize the display and the vertical camera for augmented reality.

Are you seriously implying that I am the only one that finds the design , the bump and notch fugly ?

You must be a paid shill, or blind to not see how many are in the same boat as me.

NO need to come to apples defense like its your baby. Jesus.

A paid shill? On an Apple related website? I will assume you're being facetious and Will ignore this all together.

And no, I'm not simply implying it's just you, but Did I read your post on here, therefore I commented On what you specifically said. What you said, was Apple failed you. Again, Apple didn't "Fail" you, because they didn't design the iPhone around you and you only. Blunt as it may appear, you do fail to grasp the engineering design of this new iPhone and the reasoning for the changes...because of a vertical camera?

You can't see past why the notch exists which I already explained the purpose and the vertical cameras intentions. If you think for a second Apple designed the notch and change the orientation of the camera from horizontal to vertical just to inconvenience you or others because of a physical design change, truly indicates you can't see past a simple physical characteristic due to being myopic.

Nice post and very true.
Part of the reason I got a Galaxy S Plus on Monday was the Note 8 Spec leaks.

S8+ 6.2" OLED vs. Note 8 6.3" OLED and they have Buy 1 Get 1 Free offers on the S8+ 0.1" I can live without.

What Apple fans are being trolled on by Apple is that a 5.8" actually more like 5.7" because the middle cameras intrude. Is that with No Home button is that 5.7" is down right lady like and roughly the same as the 4.7" IPhone in size.

Really hoping that Next years phones are 120hz Promotion HDR Displays really looking forward to the IPHone 8s Plus.

Not necessarily being trolled if the sides to the cutout are always on display. I'd gladly give a bit for always on view.

"Ugh hideous camera bump. Go back to the iPhone 4 days."

"Ugh horrible photos. My *insert DSLR here* destroys it."

Every iPhone has been called ugly.
The original had the black bump,
The 3g had disgusting plastic,
The 4 had ugly antenna bands,
The 5 had the horrid aluminum body wedged between glass,
The 6 had ugly antenna lines,
and the 7 didn't do anything and kept the fugly camera bump.

Someone is going to always be displeased.

The main downside I see with the cutout is that it can't be used for anything except status. That's like 0.5in permanently gone from the 5.8in screen. Minus another 0.5inch used by the soft home key, you are just left with 4.8 inch effective screen.
