iPhone 8/Plus How Long will the iPhone 8 Last?
How long do you guys think the iPhone 8 will be supported,updated and running fast? Do you think Apple will try to stop supporting it earlier to phase out the home button completely?

iPhone 8 to have Touch Bar like MacBook Pro?
This is just a theory of mine. Since the Home button takes up too much space and Apple prefers keeping symmetry between the top and bottom of the iPhone.... what if they added a Touch Bar at the bottom of the phone that took up considerably less space and also included a built in Touch ID sensor... -
