For those who think I am trolling

Was there ever a doubt ?

You and i7 are constantly trolling not only each other but yourselves.

How many times on this thread alone have you bitched and griped about Apple and the iPhone and how you would not buy it because it will be overpriced and now your back to proclaiming your ready to buy an iPhone 8 and yet only short while earlier how you hated apple now. It's like listening to the ramblings of a schizophrenic who has forgot to take their lithium most of the time. You are either purposely trolling i7 or moreover fooling yourself, but it's the rest of the forum that has to bare the brunt.

Actually we knew all about the iPhone 8 long before this leak. The GM leak is only telling us new software tidbits and certain small information about iPhone 8

The game changer is the curved edge beselless oled display.

BTW has an entire OS leaked before like this? I don't think so.

Actually not. Now that you have seen a leak two days before the reveal it's commonplace to proclaim, you "already knew this". However you define it, your gamechanger is my perception of apple iterating. I'm probably sticking with the unannounced 7s.

I don't know exactly who you're replying to as I have them blocked, but man has it become more enjoyable to read this forum since I decided to simply block the ca 10 worst bickerers and zealots here and be done with it. Do yourself a favor man and choose an easier life.

the iPhone 7 / 7+ with 32G memory are slower than the same but 128 / 256 options.

I used to think the same but that's only write speed. Read speed which is more important is almost the same.

With the absence of the home button in the iPhone X, they have messed up something regarding that part in the firmware or maybe if they set it at the same speed as in 10.3.3, the iPhone X variant suffers glitches.

If Android actually came up with a proper iPad competitor and Android wear, I would ditch iOS for good. Its thanks to the AW and iPad, I have to get the iPhone for the complete experience.

This... I'm really disappointed in Google for ignoring tablets and not putting a lot of emphasis into watches. Actually zero emphasis on watch hardware. I just get miffed with all the lackluster decisions they make, they really are the new Microsoft. Don't let me forget multiple, redundant, often unsupported messaging apps, and of course the incredibly bad fragmentation. Don't get me wrong I'm an Android fan, but I still find plenty of reasons to stay on iOS even though it's primitive and proprietary.

Agreed! I haven’t seen a good Android tablet since the Nexus 7 and Nexus 9. I’m looking to replace my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 but haven’t seen a tablet that gives me the features that I use on my current Android tablet. The S Pen in S Note is probably my most used feature and the 12.2 inch screen size makes it easy to write on.

Hmm I thought they would go with "edition", that's what they supposedly are telling case manufacturers.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they're going to have that design make sense. Looks totally awkward to me atm with that gap at the top of the screen, they must have managed to keep some secret from getting leaked.

I would think Essential's version would be indicative. Apps adjust in portrait with black bands on both sides in landscape.

Seems like "iPhone X" is going to be the name. I didn't think it'd be "8" anyway. It doesn't make sense to both release a 7S along with an "8" at the same time.

The 7S models will simply be called the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus...

The Verge:

Apple iPhone X name revealed in leaked iOS 11 firmware

iPhone Edition sounds better to me. Then again they may not call it X as it could be a plant by Apple, just like all these Apple Watch 3 leaks, which looks exactly the same as the current one and I'm sure their was some special edition model with coloured crowns like that.

we have an apple apologist that trolls the alternative section. Talks in circles...contradicts himself constantly. The problem is some just can't help but take the bait and engages the apologist. That leads to endless banter back and forth.
Everyone here should just not reply to or engage the apologist not matter what he says. That would end all this endless dribble.

I think some are having a very difficult time acclimatizing to an age where the iPhone does not represent the best smartphone technologically, aesthetically or value per dollar.

The smart phone landscape has changed dramatically. If you geek out on tech, it’s a great time to be alive. If you subscribe to the idea of Apple being the best, you’re not getting through your day without a massive dosage of cognitive dissonance.

At best Apple will become more competitive with the iPhone X, but it will never be like it was in 2011.
