The new iPhone will have similar dimensions to the 4.7” iPhone 7, while packing a 5.8” OLED screen.

Wonderful, I think the design for the iPhone 8 and 8plus will be fabulous, bigger display on the front but small body type like the Koreans are going. But please add SD CARD this time and I will buy some this time. We wait to see.

            The next iPhone will be the 7S and they will cater to their shareholders.

            Why sell a revolutionary phone now, when you can smash what makes a revolutionary phone and trickle-feed the tech over several years and earn more money?

            Hence the Samsung Galaxy series of recent:

            * Launches half a year before the next iPhone
            * Leapfrogs the latest iPhone by at least 2 generations
            * New iPhone when released are essentially already behind a device that was released half a year ago
            * Yes, Apple had enough time to make their devices better than the Samsungs
            * But they won't. Of course not. Why would they when they could make SO MUCH MORE MONEY not doing so.

            Don't get me wrong. iPhones are great. But the fact is the Samsung Galaxy devices from the S6 onwards are on a whole other level.

                      Really hope Apple fail selling these iPhone 8 so that they would know customers hate these 'slowly-add-features-every-year' method with overprice price tags.

                        Someone Else, 17 Feb 2017The galaxy S6 and S7 is already a perfect phone as you got ... moreIt was the year that Samsung lost the first place in cameras (HTC and Google built better ones and Samsung could not follow). Also second in a row with sealed battery (so the -so called- ample battery, won't be so in a year or two).

                        Less ram than the competition (LeEco, OnePlus) owning to one of the slowest flagships of 2016, despite the price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwED6s3rCQ

                        All in all , a mediocre galaxy S that only seems good by comparison to the attrocious s6. Still can't touch S4 (best body to screen ratio, best performance of its era, best camera of its era, removable battery). Samsung has gone downhill...

                          So basically the iPhone 8 will finally catch-up with Samsung and LG, after being technologically behind for years, and cost $300 more for it. Amazing.
                          Hope Apple shoots themselves in the foot with this and lose a lot of people not willing to pay 40% more for more or less the same thing.

                                    rails, 17 Feb 2017For the most part this not just true for fruitPhone but als... moreThe galaxy S6 and S7 is already a perfect phone as you got everything you need and want on a smartphone such as wireless charging, big battery, amazing display and top notch camera. It gave an impression that it is a 'small' upgrade compared to last year model. There are just little much they can add for the already good S6.

                                    The iPhone on the other hand only had minimal upgrade every year. When Apple add some feature such as wireless charging and water resistant, it will give an impression of a big upgrade. (they are just keeping up with other OEMs in term of features)

                                        all rumours. i follow apple pre launch forums for the last 5 years. every day someone writes something new and eventually when apple is released its a disappointment, same old design with same looks with th same home key.
