Shut your mouth!!
I don't think there will be a release this year or two keynotes. I'm thinking Spring, but if it came out this fall I would gladly buy it then!
He did do a lot of ranting, but if you could get through that he did make one good point he made was about the large screen small bezel designs shrinking the size of large screen devices. If they make a 5.8" phone that is similar in size to the current 4.7", then a 5" phone could be smaller and closer to the current SE size. I would consider that a good compromise.
It's the form factor (size & shape in hand) that's the draw. That video guy got it wrong (again); it's NOT the screen size. Reduce the bezels and squeeze in more screen and they'll have very happy former SE owners.
Unfortunately, his statement that the OLED 5.8" iPhone 8 will be only a little bigger than the SE is fantasy. If you look at the "leaked" lineup you see that even with no bezels the body ends up halfway between a 7s and 7s+. No, Mr video guy, that's not even close. :rolls eyes:
But as @camaroz1985 suggests, if in 2018 they keep the standard iPhone's 4.7" screen (not bump it up to 5.2" or something) and put it in a body with minimal bezels, THAT might be okay. But I'm afraid they'll keep the current 4.7" body size and increase the screen to fill it edge-to-edge (about a 5.2" screen). That would be a no-go for me!
... Until my SE can no longer smoothly run what I want to run on it, anyway.
