The real Apple designs ingenious solutions for genuine needs. By contrast, these full-screen iPhones and foldables are gimmicks at their worst. Sadly, we can say goodbye to the real Apple, which now exists only as a memory.

iPhone X second generation. I hope it's as close as possible to the glass design that the X had
 
I don’t think the actual screen which you touch will be curved. I think they will wrap the screen inside the frame so that the black border we have now around the screen will be hidden because the actual black border will be curved into the sides so you won’t see it, giving us a couple of extra mm of usable screen.

Just think about an iPhone Air without the black border around the screen, but with the tiny bit of silver frame showing and triple cameras of course.
 
It's been eons since Apple blew me away with a product, so enough with the silly hyperbole about a phone almost two years away.
 
iPhone X was not a game changer. All the new features had been around in other phones and devices for a decade previous.

It served as a device to artificially increase the price by £450 here in the UK at the time. This was the device which kicked started the £1000+ iPhone.

I do agree with you on the price adjustment though. Next year will see a similar reset IMHO.
 
The iPhone of my dreams was probably the iPhone X.

It certainly isn't a slab of glass now and probably never will be but, hey, Apple, change my mind.
 
The phone of my dreams has not even been conceptualized yet by Apple.

It would be:

1. No walled garden, secure by design, instead of secure by marketing propaganda
2. Flexible use cases, no more Apple way or the highway. Many features selectable
3. Don't need cloud provider for most features
4. Selectable cloud provider
5. Selectable search providers, not just Apple approved providers
6. Support free speech. No more Apple nanny rules about acceptable Apps
7. Fully functional and configurable firewall
 
Here is the phone of my dreams. Just give me modern internals.
