It’s a very nice screen, super bright and lovely to look at.
I bought these screen protectors, and they are very easy to install, and look great!
But part of me misses the curved screen. Something about it felt more premium and differentiated from the iPhone.
I still love the 8 Pro though, and have zero regrets.
For me, the side swiping seems more smooth on the curved screen. I never really noticed missed or over inputs.
While I’m not sure I “prefer” them, I do think it gave the phone a more premium look and feel. There’s something about the side scrolling content scrolling around the curve and off the display, and the device felt…thinner, I guess.
And ever iPhone has a flat screen, so the differentiator on the front of the device was instant.
It’s definitely got downsides though, and I totally get it.
