That means no bezel which is great news IMO.

So does anyone think this is the year Apple will actually reveal new features Android hasn't already had for years?

They haven't done that in many years.  What they arguably do is release Android features but better implemented and easier to use.

Different this time time around, totally ditching fingerprint touch ID for face recognition is actually a step in a new direction

What do you think the price tag will be for those of us that still have 2 year upgrades?

I'm not a smartwatch person. I hate the idea of being so connected ALL THE TIME!  But I DO like the idea of not having to carry a phone around. Nice their watches finally got cellular capabilities.

Only new tech I really saw was the face unlock in the dark. Is that just going to be a you need a bright screen for that, or will it really work in the dark?

Crazy! How much will it cost with a typical 2 year contract?

Most contracts don't give discounts anymore.

This phone is going to sell like hot cakes. They could of charged $1.5k and it'd sell like hot cakes.

So sad but so true
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Id be super surprised if it didn't
