It's a very nice screen, super bright and lovely to look at.

I bought these screen protectors, and they are very easy to install, and look great!

But part of me misses the curved screen. Something about it felt more premium and differentiated from the iPhone.

I still love the 8 Pro though, and have zero regrets.

If you swipe over the screen and reach the edge of the display, it just feels nicer.

Only if you don't use a case. It drives me nuts trying to reach the edge of the display but getting blocked by the side of the case, and that's even with a pretty low profile case. I never had that problem with flat screens

Now that you mention it... Yeah, that's why I don't use a case. Just a Popsocket, so I can hold it without holding it at the edge of the screen.

There are some cons. :D

The price of a replacement screen is wild. A non curved screen is objectively better. Bit I still like my curved one. :o

I can do it just fine with my pixel 6 Pro and the case that I have. Still feel the curve sides that is. Exaggerating a bit.
