Other Is an iPhone your 2017 phone of the year?

[tonybarnaby]

After years of android and never trying Apple, my wife and I made the switch this year and are thrilled with our 8 plus and X. But at the end of the day, I have the note 8 as the best overall phone of 2017. No phone can do more. If it was designed by Apple and ran ios11, I feel a lot of you would agree. As it is, I’m sure a lot of people call me out and complain about how bad touch wiz is.

1. Note 8
2. iPhone X
3. Pixel 2xl
4. iPhone 8 Plus
5. OnePlus 5T

For the phones I've used this year:

iPhone X
Pixel 2 XL
Galaxy S8+

The top 2 are very close.

The iPhone X is my phone of the year because its the one I choose. Objectively yes the note 8 is better but its not my preference.

So my top 4 would be

1. X
2. 8 +
3. Note 8
4. S8 +

Behold!! The iPhone X is not about the roman numbers or the number 10, is about energy. Phone of the year!

Yeah…it's got about 5 more minutes and then 2018 rolls around and it's last year's model of the year.

Haven’t used any other kind of phone in years so it’s my only phone every year.

Well yes the iphone is my phone of the year for 2017, and 2016 and every year back to 2011 when Verizon finally got the iPhone.
Which current iPhone? I swap back and forth between my SE and my 6S.

My Phone of the Year? iPhone X, closely followed by iPhone 7 Plus, which is what I actually used during most of 2017..... Loved my jet black iPhone 7 Plus and am now delighted with the iPhone X.

Phone with the best:

hardware of the year = Note 8
software/hardware combo of the year = iPhone 8, 8 +

The only ones qualified to answer this are those who've done comprehensive, unbiased reviews of many top-shelf phones released this year.

So, no one on Macrumours forums then.

These are 3 of the most controversial phones of the year for sure.

iPhone X is the greatest consumer electronic product ever created.

Phone of the year? Try phone of the decade.

Regarding the BlackBerry. I love their hardware. What I'd give to have BB hardware with iOS running on it!

I have three phones activated through T-Mobile so my top three are:

1. Note 8 It's simply an outstanding phone and can even be a computer substitute. I bought it on launch day but have never used it as my daily though, just use it at home.
1. iPhone 7+ It is currently my daily phone. Simply outstanding and I'm using it with three series 3 watches
3. S8+ Was using this as my daily before I got the 7+.

Can I ask why you have the Note 8 just for home use instead of a tablet?

I planned on using it as my daily phone when I bought it but I made the mistake of buying a huge OtterBox case with it which makes the phone twice as thick and just generally much bigger so I never bothered to use it at my daily. I was also not in a hurry to get a smaller case for it because I just used my S8+ as my daily until I got the iPhone 7+.

It's a silly reason as to why the Note 8 was not my daily phone but that's the reason. I'll probably skip next year's Note.

My top 4:

Note 8
iPhone 8 plus

Not Tim because Tim is very socially aware.
