Call it a symptom of my tech journalist bubble, but somewhere over the past couple of years, I’ve lost the ability to be truly excited about new iPhones. Apple has contributed to this feeling, having kept its design changes incremental or, in the case of the headphone jack, haughtily unfriendly to the user. Apple’s partners have also helped things along by leaking almost everything about each new device, including the latest one to come this September.

Android phones, in the meantime, have been going through a renaissance of ever more sophisticated design and improving camera performance. Witness the Galaxy S8 with its multiaxial symmetry, or the OnePlus 5 with its iPhone-esque refinement, or the HTC U11 in its iridescent Solar Red garb, and you’ll find so much more visual variety and intrigue. And if you want to take great photos, the list starts with the U11, Google’s Pixel phones, Samsung’s flagship, and then maybe there’s a spot for an iPhone.
