          AnonD-544340, 16 Feb 2017and chipping paint. You don't say.Chipping paint is better than a shattered glass back, which is what all of those iPhone 8 owners are going to get.

          This idea has been tried and failed so many times. First by Apple with the iPhone 4, then Google/LG with the Nexus 4, and so many Samsung Galaxy phones. Glass breaks, it doesn't matter how "gorilla" it is. There is zero reason to put a fragile material on a part of a phone that does not need to be that way (unlike the screen). I can't believe Apple is repeating a mistake they already made with the iPhone 4. And it will make the iPhone 8 just seem like a design rip off of the many Samsung phones with this design now. Maybe Samsung can sue Apple for once.

          Anyway, blech. Smartphone designs have really become boring. The last interesting/innovative design was the Moto X, with it's curved back. And even Motorola/Lenovo has abandoned what they did well to go for the bad glass back idea, with the Moto Z. It's a heard mentality that has taken over all of these companies.

              Anonanoymoususes, 16 Feb 2017are those really useful ?Those are only two things of many. And you again side track factual points to ignore the point at hand and drag on useless bs.
              You got an answer to your side tracking and you side track that yet again.
              To fully answer it. Anything your iPhone will get for the next 10 years

                  The bigger iPhone was already a bad descision - it is clumsy, unnecessary large, it is not elegant at all. And elegance was always something special about Apple products! 5.8 inch phone will be another disaster pushing away a lot of customers.

                            Why not just make the regular iphone and plus betaine these instead of creating more diversion and confusing? Slim the bezel and increase the screen size and battery capacity of the regular one and plus and use oled on them. Boom..done.
