Which one is uglier, the iPhone 8 or the Samsung S8, with its rear fingerprint scanner that matches Android?

Ten years ago, when people saw someone holding an iPhone, their reaction was: “Wow, he or she is using an iPhone.” A few years later, everyone’s reaction was: “Oh, you use an iPhone too.” However, ten years later, when people see someone holding an iPhone, their reaction becomes: “Huh? You are still using an iPhone.”

iPhone 8 design leaked again, fingerprint recognition surprise turns into shock

Although Apple holds press conferences and updates new phones every year, Apple is no longer a rarity. In the era of rapid development of new technologies for smart phones, Apple has been criticized for not making any innovative changes based on the original. This year is an unusual year for Apple. After the Steve Jobs era, many people said that it is difficult for Apple to achieve its former glory. After the release of Samsung Galaxy S8, the 10th anniversary edition of iPhone 8, which is expected to be eye-catching, has become the last suspense in the smartphone market this year.

As usual, before each new generation of mobile phones comes out, there will be various concept phones full of black technology circulating on the Internet. The photos and videos of Apple mobile phone concept phones are amazing. But unfortunately, the black technology we can imagine is limited to concept phones. Some netizens complained that the photos of Apple mobile phone concept phones can be used for another ten years. Recently, a new "down-to-earth" design drawing of iPhone 8 appeared on the Internet, and the rear fingerprint recognition really surprised many netizens.

Apple's black technology is hopeless, and users are disappointed by its increasing Android-like nature

In addition to the previous rumors of dual cameras arranged vertically to achieve VR functions, what is even more incredible is that the circular hole under the Apple logo seems to have confirmed the fact that the fingerprint recognition is rear-mounted. Although increasing the screen-to-body ratio is the mainstream in the current smartphone market, everyone can put the fingerprint recognition at the back, so why did Apple cause an uproar when it did so? In addition to considering user experience, what is even more disappointing is that Apple's move seems to be a follower of Android. Apple is no longer the cool Apple.

It was reported long ago that the iPhone 8 will be equipped with an OLED screen. At the same time, in order to achieve a full screen, the home button will be removed and under-screen recognition will be adopted, which sounds cool. However, the current Apple with a rear fingerprint recognition is really unacceptable to Apple fans. Some netizens said that it is just like an Android version of a copycat Apple. According to reports, in order to improve the technology, the iPhone 8 originally scheduled to be released in September was postponed for one to two months. Now it seems that Apple wants to use an OLED screen, and under-screen recognition is hopeless, so it can only shamelessly follow Android.

Rear fingerprint, Samsung S8 and iPhone8, which one do you think is uglier

At the end of March this year, Samsung held a new phone launch conference. As soon as the Galaxy S8 came out, the location of the rear fingerprint recognition was once discussed by netizens, because the fingerprint recognition position on the S8 was placed on the right side of the camera. Some users complained that such an anti-human design is very easy to accidentally touch the camera when unlocking. Let's look at Apple again. If the rumors about the rear fingerprint recognition of the iPhone 8 are true, it will be very awkward no matter where the fingerprint recognition is placed, which will destroy Apple's original simple and cool back design and lower the appearance of the entire body by more than one level. Regarding the rear fingerprint recognition of the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8, I wonder which one do you think is uglier?

In this era of fierce competition in the field of smart phones, Apple users still cling to Apple because they are used to the iOS system and they also value the body design. Nowadays, Apple is increasingly following the trend of Android, and it seems to have lost its own direction. The Apple that was always imitated but never surpassed has finally bowed its head and followed Android.
