How's battery life between the X and 8 Plus?

I bet it's not that significant. Of course we'll know when the X is out, but the fact that Apple said that the X would get 2 more hours of life better than the iPhone 7 and specifically didn't mention the 7 Plus is what tells me that.

I thought I picked up on the 2 hours over the 7 instead of 7 Plus! What is the battery life improvement from the 7/7 Plus to the 8/8 Plus?

Yeah I'm torn myself but I haven't really seen too many pros for the X aside from the camera. Losing TouchID is a nonissue for me as I can just use FaceID or a code. However I'm more concerned about the battery life and I haven't seen anything comparing the X and 8 Plus in terms of battery.

Even Apple posted it about the same as the 8+ and about 2 more hours than the 8 standard. But everyone uses their phone differently. I have never ran out of battery on my 7 except in early betas.

That's what I mean. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the 7 Plus gets better battery life than the iPhone 7 does. So Apple decided to tell us how much more battery life the iPhone X gets over the 7 instead of comparing it to the better battery life 7 Plus which would be more interesting.

I'm not sure about the the 7 to 8 battery life. I've read that the batteries in the 8's are slightly smaller but that doesn't necessarily mean less battery life.

They did not because it gets about the exact same batter life compared to the iPhone 8+. Not sure where the issue lies, as the Plus versions do better than the non-plus versions. So the X should get about the same batter life as the 7+ and the 8+

Yes, of course. That's my point. It's much more easier to market as "2 hours more battery life than the iPhone 7" than to say "Just about the same battery life as the iPhone 7 Plus". So a 7 Plus user shouldn't expect better battery life out of the iPhone ex than they would a 7 Plus as they most likely would assume if it wasn't brought to their attention.

The iconic design is not boring to me. It's classic. It's elegant. It's what's inside that counts. iPhone is beautiful
I don't like the looks of the X...that notch...and if Apple is going to make a design change have the Apple Pencil be compatible with it. Offer a 3rd color and give more for the 999. SD card capabilities as well
I will stick with my 7+ for now and when ready it will be the 8+
I prefer Touch ID too

This!!!

Yeah the A11 processor could be more efficient than the A10 which could result in better battery life with a smaller battery.

That makes the decision even harder if battery life is the same!

It's all about the marketing!

If it weren't for horse beatings, this place would be dead.
The screenshots don't show all comparisons. If the first is the X, it compares it to the iPhone 7, not the iPhone 8 Plus or 7 Plus.

It does compare it to the 7 but the times are listed below that comparison. Here is the info for the 7 & 7 plus.

So in other words the X and 8 Plus should be comprable in terms of battery life.

Yup. So the X shouldn't be any better than the 8 Plus as I suspect the average consumer would expect because they're paying $200 more.

I'm sure that'll be the case, although I don't understand why. iPhones are pretty decent when it comes to battery life, depending on how you use them, but the X is a smaller form factor with a few more features & we all know Apple has this thinner is better mentality. That $200 is for the screen & some camera features, not battery.
