        "The status bar is also redesigned - it will be split by the earpiece and camera module," can some better explain this portion of the article?

              It's interesting how apple applies innovation years later but still sells much more units. Its neither the build quality nor the UI (some uis are soo d*** close to it) or the specs...it must be habituation. The whole marketing is built around it, unbelievable but successful.

YES they have great features but I don't like the design.

                      Who cares if Apple did it years later, or blatantly copied.
                      They're still improvements, so these are welcomed by potential consumers.

                      If anything, the more competitive they are, the better.
                      Apple iPhone 8 might be drastically better than the HTC U11, Galaxy S8, and Pixel2 which will force them to try to catch up on the next swing, and vice versa.

                      I guess the biggest let down, and an understandable one, is the lack of a fingerprint reader underneath the display.

                        better iphone 5s, 6 to SE if you want iPhone

                          apple so boring , lack of feature

                          oh my god , android already have that 20 years ago , innovation

                                Do you mean picking the phone up to wake? If yes, even iPhone 6s got that feature after last year's update.

                                  One-handed keyboards that look exactly like the Galaxy lines.
