I have a SE and it is working fine but it suddenly felt too cramped.
I like the wireless charging but at that point, am I better with a 7 Plus?
I did not watch the Apple Event.
Coming from the SE is a little different. How important is the size to you? The form factor and the size of the SE is extremely appealing and the 8+ is a whole different world.. Amazing, but different!
Having the portability of the SE is such a strong point with me.
I think I could get used to the 8 Plus. I like its portability, like in a pants or purse pocket but my eyes cannot take it anymore. And I would like to do more on my phone, like Netflix. Which is nearly impossible on a 4" screen.
More screen size, I believe, is always a plus.
What do you have to say about it?
I have a SE and it is working fine but it suddenly felt too cramped.
Do a comparison on the Apple website between your current phone and the 8 Plus. Go to the Apple store and check one out in person. Play with it and ask questions.
There are big differences once you compare them on the Apple web site, and in person.
For what it's worth, my 8+ fits into any pocket I have/wear, just as my 6 did. No issues at all. Handbags might be a little different, like if they have built in "cell phone pockets" or something, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Those smaller pockets are perfect for keys and chapstick, and there are always (well almost always, lol) other areas in the handbag for my phone.
Netflix and I share a close bond. I love watching on my 8+! Also, reading on the phone is nice too. It's not so small that you feel like you're turning a page every 6 words, you know?
Good luck with whatever you decide!
