Your phone doesn't contain some sort of alien technology so if yours is the same size as another and your battery is bigger something has been reduced to make way for it and that has it's own problems or every other device would have empty space and they don't.

Well that’s just great , unboxed this morning trimmed the quad lock case to fit nicely ,backed up the 6s before removing sim & resetting to default . Put the sim in the 8 , installed my apple profile & account ✅
Then .. phone won’t software download factory is iOS 11, error unable to download wtf
Tried a soft reset , no diff , tried a hard reset it won’t function . Took sim out & tried whole process again : no joy . Contacted EE , 5 mins later , your phone is faulty sir we will have a new one sent out first thing . Great / app the good customer service but pi$$ed off all the same , so here it is waiting to get picked up after not 1 minute of use

I re installed the 6s after & iOS 11.2 downloaded no probs .
Also the 8 would not switch off doing a reset , the 8 also has a second reset press up vol , down vol hold home button on doing that it enabled the emergency call feature ( connects to the emergency services & counts down with a siren 3,2,1 whilst flashing red . Yea on doing that I’d pretty much say it’s lost a few marbles inside

It isn't Apple's fault as they outsource all that technical stuff to a sweat shop in China, so if you need to blame anyone then blame the Chinese kids on a pound a day for screwing up

Technical stuff in a sweatshop? Hardly, they lick the screens super smooth in the sweatshop with a final polish on bare chests. Pound a day, luxury!

Donald’s a Fandroid.

How’s your phone? Mine’s been excellent so far, such a great upgrade from the 6 and I suspect the pinnacle of its kind. I’m both very used to it and pleasantly surprised by it, iOS 11 is helping in that regard.
