Not that it really matters but I feel with the absence of the Home button ring and the speaker at the top, it doesn't look like an iPhone anymore. It's the first iPhone to remove those quite iconic aesthetic features.

Not feeling this new phone at all.

My current phone though is about ready to be taken out back and shot.

The front (the white one at least) must be one of the ugliest designs in long time.

I think that's why they've done such an idiosyncratic redesign. The notch is the new home button. They are banking on the 8 to be an iconic design.

If the rumors are correct about FaceID usurping TouchID as a gateway into the phone, this will be both an aesthetic and functional passing of the torch.

Like Red said they're hoping that the notch will become the new home button in terms of iconic design.

This post will confuse people lol.

To clarify:
The "new home button" in terms of being emblamatic part of of the iconography of the iPhone design. Not the literal spot you push to go home

The next challenge is putting the cameras and sensors behind the screen.

I've dealt with white bezel for years on my 6+. No reason I can't deal with a significantly smaller one here.

I wonder if video recording will be a special focus, to sell that storage capacity. How else do you fill that much space on a phone?

The iPhone lost its most (front) iconic feature - the home button with the 'square' icon - years ago.

I hate the gloss and hope that isn't final. Looks too much like iPhone 3G aka WOAT iPhone.

Yes. I regularly use 150+. 500+ is a crazy amount.

• this bezel is significantly smaller but also asymmetrical which highlights the contrast (and ugliness)
• White bezel reduces the likelihood of an iOS 'dark mode'
• Apple restricts color choices with white bezels i.e. they almost always limit the white bezels to colorful models and black bezels to black/grey models

But with the shape it really looks most like the 4/4S aka GOAT iPhone.
