    I don’t really get why the M8 is remembered so fondly but the M7 isn’t.

    Is it just that way more people bought the M8? The M7 was truly innovative and the M8 was only a small iteration on top.

      Plus the M7 had a nicer aluminum unibody. The M8 had plastic on the front. Still handsome, but not the same level of gorgeous macbook-style design the M7 had. Fuck, I’d rock an M7 today if they trimmed the glass bezel down, removed the hardware nav buttons, and tossed in some new hardware.

        Couldn’t agree more. I forgot to mention that the M7 also just looked better.

      I remember my m8 had so many problems in the first week I had to exchange. I hardly remember what that phone was like…
