> The oddities this time are that the iPhone 8 isn't called the iPhone 7s (even though that's what it so obviously is)
The "s" generations always physically looked exactly like the prior non-s. They would keep the same exterior design while improving stuff under the hood. But the 8 needed a glass-back design to better enable new charging methods. Thus, it is identifiably a different phone than the 7, which makes it obviously not a 7s.
