> The ‘iPhone 8’-esque description suggests it would be based around Touch ID though

That's too bad if true. Having a smaller phone size / screen should warrant having an edge-to-edge display without having a button take up any screen space. Maybe they can put Touch ID on the back of the phone or integrate it into the phone screen like the Samsung Galaxy 10 does now.

Does nobody hold their phones anymore? Why would that ever be comfortable? I hated my Samsung phones with curved edges, the last thing I want is a phone that I can't hold onto without touch being triggered. That seems completely antithetical to the SE.

The SE has those lovely square edges. New phones are too curved and slippery, like a bar of soap
