      android users can NOT make fun of the design because the new iphone looks like an android ( LG G6 and Essential phone) . I like that apple is doing this and finally having a full redesign to compete with the new androids. Since believe it or not, the iphone 7's cpu and gpu with their 3GB ram management became more powerful than any android phone in 2016 and early 2017, until the oneplus 5 6gb came around. As a long time android fan and user ( I've used iphones as well but still prefer android) I will finally switch over because iOS is slowly turning into Android with an ios twist. and now that the hardware is just like android devices . seems like the perfect time to try the android iOS hybrid phone!!

          its mad how you android users have so much time in your day to come and hate on an iphone design that's still a dummy if you haven't noticed. Samsung and every other company went to the one home button design because of apple in the first place but apples apparently copied everything just because they're releasing theirs new handset after the other brands handsets have already come out.. kmt

            Software buttons would have been more better and intuitive than gestures.

                More gesture gimmicks, I really don't want to see every bloody morning some idiots moving their arms in crampy metro trying to control their garbage devices. I really hate Apple seriously and obviously it will be marketed as innovative and unique! Facepalm

                                  gesture controls were used in Blackberry OS10

                                    I might get it IF they call it iPhone Edition or X and not iPhone 8 because we would know an 8s will be released next year. I wished for the anniversary, they go back to the original iPhone design but bigger, no home button, and no bezel. I loved that chrome bezel around it. But make the design a ONE-TIME thing. What's thd point of the tick years when the 8s will look the same and be the stronger twin? Might as well wait for 8s then.
