I refuse to believe that John Ivy gave the aproval for that ugly rear cam module.... It just doesnt seems right,and am hoping for surprise in the presentation.

      The time when i see iPhone 4 and 5 i always think that the design is clean especially on the black unit. In a glance it's only showing a slab of glass, earpiece and a button. Just plain simple. But now note8 seems to be better than that iPhone 8 dummy. Note8 looks way better IMO.

          I prefer the more blocky design of Note 8, but the too-big-to-hold measurements would kill it for me. (If I had to decide, but I am happy with my iPhone 7 and will keep it for several years)

              One is a smartphone, and the other is almost a tablet that will no longer fit into your pocket

                        That is the most ugly positioning of camera on the back. Dear Apple why do you do this to us?

                          iPhone will always be smaller than Samsung Galaxys. It started with iPhone 4 and Galaxy S, and still continues until now

                                As IF the iPhone bezel is going to be like that. I'll be gobsmacked if it is. iPhone is always the leader when it comes to design.

                                    " Would you rather have stereo speakers or a headphone jack? "

                                    are you joking ? seriously is that even a valid question .... definitely Mr. Jack, who in their right mind would do away with him ? you can still get stereo sound from you headphones.

                                        Apple should follow what Samsung did with S8/8+ and Note 8, keeping the front black.
                                        White border on Apple looks hideous AF!
