Samsung Galaxy S8 fires first salvo against Apple's 'iPhone 8' with 'Infinity' display, AR...
Still has a headphone socket though.
Maybe Apple will copy that in the iPhone 8.

Security concerns force President Trump to ditch Android phone

It's worth noting that exploit has been fixed, as explained in the article.billybob88 said:http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/08/actively-exploited-ios-flaws-that-hijack-iphones-likely-spread-for-years/
So the Pegasus exploit has been around since IOS7, yet we claim iPhone are so super secure. No, we don't know what other flaws exist in the OS to really make that claim.
Obviously we don't know any other flaws in iOS until they're discovered and so we must take things seriously. However, that doesn't draw any conclusions as to how secure iOS is relative to other OS's. There is much reason to believe that iOS is very secure. That is, unless someone wants to believe it's insecure because of one article about an exploit, in which case we are all capable of believing nearly anything.

These phones and their operating systems are very complex, so issues will arise. But there really isn't such a big difference between them in the grand scheme of things.
