Ok, for speculation or for personal reasons, do you think Apple will ditch the home button completely next year? Do you want them to? I personally hope they do, I would also like to see improved gestures and more of them.
It would seem they have FaceiD worked out, production up to snuff and can get the yield they need to roll this out to all devices. As with all technology costs to produce drop over time so by next years phone they will likely able to put it in all models and offer an LCD iPhone for the lower end offering.
If the rumors of display size are true and people can get a 6.1" with LCD they may opt for that over the 5.8 OLED.
Fair enough but there is actual code for a 6.5” OLED.
There are rumors of a 6.5” OLED X Plus.
The ‘actual code’ part got me. ‘Actual code’? ...from where??

Yes, actual code. From the leaked HomePod firmware in late summer. That same code showed us exactly what the X was going to be. There is code and device sprites for a 6.5” version in the HomePod firmware as well.
That's what I might want, except I'm probably not willing to dish out $1,199 or so for a 64 gb model. We'll see. I may just get a reduced price 8 Plus.
As much as I like iMessage, the Note 8 is an incredible phone. The only things I don't care for on it is it's lack of iMessage and it's curved screen that makes getting good screen protectors challenging.
Should Apple's 256GB flagship cost more than $1,200 next year I'll have to abstain. I don't love iMessage quite that much.
Actually, come to think of it. I'd rather have a cheaper 6.1" X-styled LCD than a more expensive 6.5" OLED any day. I like LCDs just fine and the X's OLED doesn't seem as good as Samsung phone's OLEDs. The way Samsung's phones screens 'pop' with vibrancy is kinda amazing.
The LCDs on the latest iPhones are pretty good IMO, and yes, the OLED on the X isn’t as saturated as Samsung’s phones.
You’ll appreciate the OLED when looking at pictures or editing videos, the OLED on Samsung makes some skin tones a bit more tan than they are.
