It probably won’t look like that. There have been a lot of rumours suggesting that Apple will colour match the glass in between the lenses to the rest of the phone so there’s not a big black square. These are just dummy models, they’re not accurate. Yes the basic shape might be accurate but we don’t know the details. I highly doubt Apple would make their flagship product ugly.
Does it matter why? Or just that these manufacturers took a hit? Of course we always speculate on the “why”.
It’s not going to look like this! There have already been many credible rumours suggesting that the areas between the lenses will be the same colour as the rest of the back of the phone, so no black square. These dummy models and this article are stupid.
yeah it kinda does, cause FFR is casually stating huawei is gonna sell less phones cause their phone use less premium materials. but on the contrary they are going to sell less phones cause of political situation with trump.
First, the source of that information is suspect, to say the least.
Each of us has our own "biases". No one "bias" is less biased than another.
oh yeahhhh intel modem is so great apple dropped them for qualcomm next year and now intel is liquidating their modem business.
. You should keep your story straight. 
. Sure your not biased at all. have you seen whats out there besides apple? apparently not because if you have with a non biased point of view, you will see there are alot out there and wouldn't dismiss android phones with that ignorant attitude of yours. apple is charging more for less features every year, but you don't seem to mind, you seem to be quite defensive about it
What is amusing about the display of Android phones which "cloned" the iPhone, is that it includes the Essential PH1, which was announced (May 2017) and released well before the iPhone X, and which was the first mainstream smartphone to feature a "notch"Pretty sure I was. Android flagships aren’t capable of Dolby vision.
The other poster kept proving it.
And when he realized it, he lied and claimed he didn’t.
I even posted a screenshot.
Sure is.
Apples budget iPhone uses the same material as android flagships, aluminum and glass.
If your looking for something more premium, apples flagship, the xs and Xs Max, uses stainless steel and glass.
Sure your friends.
Don’t really believe you, in my experience the intel modem is great.
Yes the nvme storage is a high performance component, which makes it a premium component. Another component android flagships are lacking.
Apple uses faster and higher quality nand then what is found in that cheap Samsung drive, that’s why you can’t tell the difference between sata and the nvme.
Here is one that is a bit slower than what apple uses.
It’s not cheap like that Samsung drive with the weak performance you keep using as a benchmark.

No Kirin is not comparable to apples a series chips, not even close. Quaclocomm can’t even compete with apple a series chip.
8 core npu is another premium component not found in any android flagships yet they still charge flagship prices, guess android fans dont care about having the best processor and npu on a mobile platform.
I would say it’s a pity that android fans pay iPhone prices for an android flagship with less premium components compared the the iPhone, but you don’t seem to mind, you seem to be quite defensive about it.
Sure android oems cloning the iPhone is totally normal.
We all know why android oems copy the iPhone and sell their iPhone clones and no it’s not because everyone does it.
What is amusing about the display of Android phones which "cloned" the iPhone, is that it includes the Essential PH1, which was announced (May 2017) and released well before the iPhone X, and which was the first mainstream smartphone to feature a "notch"
. You think the essential phone looks like the iPhone X?
Talk about clutching at straws. Your hilarious. Android fans say the funniest things.
If you were being serious...why does apple have the design patent on the notch? .....That’s right because apple submitted a patent for it a year before the essential launched.
“This is the first granted design patent for iPhone X issued by the U.S. Patent Office under number D806,705. Apple originally filed their application back in November 2016.”
The essentials hole punch looked like the ones found on Samsung’s phones not the iPhone X and btw was patented by lg.
Maybe rubin shouldn’t have rushed an unfinished product to market just to beat apples iPhone X. Perhaps then the company would still have a website.
Hahaha, the essential phone launched the end of august and only sold 5000 units.
“Yep, the Essential Phone was a total failure”
https://bgr.com/2018/02/12/essential-phone-sales-deals-wtf/
One month after launch everyone was already calling it a failure.
“Essential Phone was destined to fail — will a $200 price cut save it?”
https://betanews.com/2017/10/23/essential-phone-200-price-cut/
Nobody clones a failure.
Can’t believe someone even suggested it, thank you for the humor giligan, it was very much appreciated.
Which people and what year? Steve Jobs? 2010?
Khardashian’s are rich, but I still see them with older Touch ID iPhones. Same with many other celebrities. Take into account, rich people represent a small percentage of the market and many are frugal (that’s why they are rich). Of course the diehard fans who need the yearly status symbol will upgrade.
Indeed. Right up until the release of the iPhone 6. And then they stopped preaching
You love moving the goal posts, don't you? Rob referenced the article about the drop in iPhone sales in response to you saying that Android phones sales dropped. The context here is the sale trends not the absolute numbers. You mentioning $31 billions here is absolutely irrelevant (but you knew it, you just wanted to deflect).
