The real question is - who wants wireless charging? This is how they achieve that..
The Nexus 5 had both wireless charging and a non-glass back, along with plenty of other phones. And even if they were somehow mutually exclusive, I'd still take a non-fragile back over the ability to wirelessly charge.
The memory is finally enough even on the base model (64/256). I know a couple people who bought the lowest before (16gb) and it was painful. They'd actually swap apps in and out. Solid upgrade. I'll hang onto my 6s and my wired headphone ways a bit longer though.
I imagine 4K video at 60fps would eat up a lot of that 64GB.

Wireless charging was slow and inefficient. Is this newer tech better? I like that the charging bay is long so you can charge multiple devices. That's cool.
The charging bay isn't a thing yet, they plan to make this in 2018, but it seems they need to create a standard for that.

No reintroduction of the headphone jack? Apple seems completely detached from the reality of what the trend setters actually desire. Needlessly locking customers to Apple-only ecosystem of hardware since iPhone 7, Apple now signals clueless consumption rather than high-status to me. Will be interesting to see what happens with the upcoming arrival of Pixel2. Edit Why the downvotes? If you disagree I'd prefer (and be…
You can use any Bluetooth headphones with the iPhone, it's not hardware lock-in. I believe Android phones are starting to abandon the headphone jack as well.
Neat, wireless charging, exactly like I had on my Nexus 5, around 5 years ago :) The best thing about the iPhone 8 is that it might finally make wireless chargers more commonplace, they are extremely convenient as Android users have been trying to tell for years. Here's another one trick Apple might want to pick up on: I own both an iPhone 7 and a Nexus 6P, and the fingerprint sensor being in the middle of the back o…
So many people already complaining of iPhone X black strip, how they overlook something so basic?
- Thin, symmetrical bezels (Samsung S8, LG V30)
- Notch at top (iPhone X, Essential Phone)
- Big bezel at bottom (Xiaomi Mi Mix & Mi Mix 2)
It does seem an oversight that they don't just black out the space on full screen video and apps, though. That works fine on the essential phone, and it still looks cool in the launcher which has proper support.

Try out the AirPods, all three of your issues are addressed. Sound quality still doesn't remotely rival my studio monitors, but I also wouldn't be caught walking down the street with them either. YMMV!
I find it remarkably difficult to actually get a pair of AirPods to try. Nobody wants to lend you theirs to stick in your ears to see if their comfortable or not, nobody I know or work with actually owns any. I wrote them off immediately because they look identical to the pack-in iphone earbuds, and those are unbearably painful for me to wear.
Guess you don't have an Apple Store nearby?
That said, if the regular Apple EarPods were as painful as you describe, then you'll hate the AirPods. They are almost identical fit wise.

It's like an electric car. Yes, it's slow to charge. But in practice it's always charged when you're ready to leave in the morning, so in daily use it's more convenient than spending 5 minutes at a fuel pump during your trip.
