I think you misunderstood the complaint. The holes don't line up with each other on a single phone, not across the phone family.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Time for everyone to buy a new case huh?
I understood the complaint: 'the center of the holes aren't in a straight line like on the iPhone'. What I obviously don't understand is why it should be like the iPhone

Aesthetics.
It's not a big deal, but it's something that's bugged me about Samsung flagships since before I switched to iPhones a few years back.
That said, as I've said here and elsewhere, the S8 is absolutely gorgeous (on the front anyway. Not a big fan of the fingerprint sensor next to the camera).
Bah. "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." I've seen no justification why I should care about this center alignment. Apple's fake holes for symmetry when there weren't stereo speakers were actually more offensive to me than Samsung's differently aligned holes

I slapped my ugly slippery ass iphone 6 in a case since day one. Looks much better for it if I may say so myself. If this iphone 8 looks good I may consider going without it.
google still generally better around where I live. no reason to switch back to apple maps, especially these days when i go between android and ios frequently. just more convenient.
If the front camera truly is embedded in the display, FaceTime just got a MAJOR level up. That solves the awkward looking at the other person talking on the screen while the camera is above.
Edit; I'm trippin. Based on the diagram, it's the same old placement, but behind the screen?

1k? jesus
You're basing your decision off unofficial guess renders? Righto buddy.
lmao, the hyperbole. It certainly is lacking speed, size and features if you are comparing it to more recent high end phones but it's still a fine daily driver and receives the latest updates.

Considering how the camera alignment is seemingly a AR thing, have we heard any rumors about AR features launching alongside the phone? I'm not even exactly sure what would be a useful application for phone AR...

Oh wow, that would look incredible with the bezel less design. Giving Siri a new sense to work with would also make... sense. Interesting, thanks for the link. Somehow missed this.
?
Size is entirely a preference and the 5S is still faster than most 2016 Android flagships.

I was using my iphone 4 till last year. All the updates apple kept cramming into it was really killing it.

The concept looks cool, but it really looks like they photoshopped an iPhone 7 and took the original iPhone home screen wallpaper and made it bigger. I am sure whatever Apple shows it will be better.
Also there were rumors floating around that Apple was having a hard time getting the touch ID finger print sensor to work under the display. I think it was a yield issue according to macrumors. I hope they dont delay this phone over that. Just move it to the back and be done with it. This is the year Apple moves to using the superior OLED screens. Its really time for it. Samsung has been using them for years and they have much better screens than iPhones. Thats not to say Apple does a great job color calibrating theirs, but I think their LCD's are maxed out in terms of what they can do. The press will tear Apple a new on if they release just a 7s and a 7s+. Selling just the same designed phone since like 2014 wont look good.
EDIT: I also doubt the base model of this device will cost $1000. The high end storage model could go that high, but a 64 or 128gig model should retail for less. I am on the Apple upgrade program so I will use that as its a pretty good deal.

That's fine, it will still beat out Qualcomm's offerings. Fuck, I'm super excited for this phone. Makes me not want to purchase anything on Google Play because I may not be in the ecosystem for long. Love my Pixel tho and if Google's offering is just as impressive then I may stay there.

Hard to say. The A7, A9, and A10 Fusion were all pretty substantial revamps, and the A11 is due for a process node shrink, I believe. I wouldn't be surprised to see it be only slightly changed from the A10 Fusion, sure, but the process node shrink ought to still result in pretty substantial performance per watt improvements.

It'll most likely jump down to TSMC 10nm, but I think they have major architectural overhauls on the opposite ends (like Intel used to with tick tock). A10 was already a big uArch overhaul so we'll probably see the "Tick" to that.
You know, as I'm typing that, apart from the not-big.little addition A10 big core is closer to A9 than A9 to A8 (a9-A10 was a 28% overclock, which was a large part of the benefit), so maybe we will see both at the same time after all. Hmm.
The GPU would likely see the easiest benefit from a shrink, since they're inherently so parallel.
The bonkers thing is that the A10 is already giving the brand new hotness, the S835, a run for its money. The per-core performance lead is getting silly and hasn't abated as I would have expected 3 years ago.

Anandtech better actually follow through and review it this time, heh.
Given what's going on with the iPad Pro, it looks like those are likely to get refreshed in October, too, so we might also have an A11X to look forward to (after literally zero non-iPhone devices with an A10-based chip).

Urgh, I still want to know the ways A10 is different from big.little, I was counting on Anandtech. Now it looks like the 8 may be out first :/

Slow? I use my wife's 5s every now and then, and's still pretty zippy for most common things.

If I had to guess the there will be areas of the screen developers never use directly (top status bar) or can only use through a sort of extension (special function keys at the bottom) at least initially. There will probably be a rectangular area with the same ratio as the current screen so legacy apps "just work"
Why not? It's beautiful and amazing. That render is drop-dead gorgeous.
I've decided to go for an iPhone with my new contract in June.
So I'm new to the Apple game as I'm fed up with mid-class Androids that run like shit after a couple of months.
Are these rumors/renders that pop up every year close to the final phone? Can we expect a huge leap over the 7 because it's the 10th anniversary? I'm wondering if I can wait until September (?) for the new iPhone...

So like, I can't put gum/tape over my camera without covering the literal screen?

The rumours start out sketchy but all the sources are starting to consolidate around a consensus. I think these will be mostly accurate barring last minute changes.
Do note this cost probably twice as much as your mid class android if the $1000 rumor price is correct lol.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Official price tag for the 7 is 850 (750$). So I guess the 8 will be 1100 (1000$)? This is crazy but rumors are 1000$ right?

I would imagine the 64GB would be officially $999, with the 256GB at a minimum $100 above that

Don't buy mid-class phones, then. You're making an unfair comparison. Pixel works great.

It gets kind of hard to justify shelling out so much for Android flagships when they get beat so badly in performance

You're telling me that iPhone 4 laser keyboard wasn't real?
Apple's just holding back until they realy need a sales bump.
Yeah, well Apple will surprise us all when this has microwave charging.
Are we talking the ability to charge the phone in a microwave? Or that the iPhone has the ability to microwave popcorn? Either one a true game changer.
