Think for a moment, if you will, about how boring the Galaxy S9 is. The phone looks almost exactly like last year’s Galaxy S8, using the same design, display, and even housing as its predecessor. Making matters significantly worse is the fact that it offers no exciting new features compared to last year’s Galaxy S flagship phone. It’s just a Galaxy S8 with a minor specs bump and a fingerprint sensor that has been relocated by about an inch on the back of the phone. There’s really nothing at all about the Galaxy S9 that might appeal to fans, and that’s why the phone is on track to be Samsung’s worst-selling Galaxy S device since 2012.

Are you still thinking about how boring the Galaxy S9 is? Okay good… now imagine what the exact opposite of that might look like on a Samsung smartphone. Think of the most exciting changes Samsung might make to its signature smartphone design within the confines current technological limitations. Are you imagining it in your mind?

There’s no question about it, 2018 has been the year of the notch when it comes to smartphone design. All smartphone makers out there except for Samsung launched phones featuring notch bezels at the top, mimicking Apple’s design. Just a few of these devices copied the feature that makes the notch mandatory on the iPhone X — that’s 3D facial authentication. And none of the notch phones replicated Apple’s corner-to-corner screen designs. Instead, all of them have bottom bezels of various sizes.

In a best case scenario, iPhone sales are seemingly stagnant. In a worse case scenario, iPhone sales are still trending downward. Just last quarter, for example, year-over-year iPhone sales remained unchanged. And though Apple still managed to boost iPhone-based revenue by an impressive 29%, the emerging narrative has been that we’ve reached peak iPhone.

Compounding matters is that once promising markets abroad haven’t exactly provided a cushion from declining sales elsewhere. So while iPhone sales in places like China have remained somewhat robust, the same can’t be said of India. Boasting a population of nearly 1.3 billion people, Apple has long eyed the Indian market with big eyes. Alas, a new report from The Wall Street Journal relays that the iPhone simply isn’t selling in a meaningful way in the country.

When 11-year-old Roxli Doss and her family were given the news that she had developed a brain tumor that was inoperable, you can imagine their dismay. They were told that the tumor — which was diagnosed by doctors at multiple institutions, including Johns Hopkins, as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) — had no cure.

That was in June of 2018, and now, half a year later, the tumor is nowhere to be found. Young Roxli’s MRIs are clear of any trace of the tumor, and doctors can do little but scratch their heads.
