Talk me into the 8 Plus

[tr1ad]

LoL!

From a personal standpoint, I would wait on the iPhone X. YES it's more money, BUT you are getting a much more innovative device. And these days we don't buy devices outright we finance them, so the X can be had for reasonable payment either directly from Apple or via your carrier.

Great camera. But doesn’t fit well in the pocket.

 

[raphie]

I am still torn. I think I will miss size of phone 7+ to X

 

[ItnStln]

Whoa, whoa. Why are we making assumptions?!

I think the 8 Plus is great. Can't complain.

But you're getting the X though

I had the 7 Plus and in a moment of weakness I picked up the 8 Plus. Don’t regret it at all. Don’t really care about the wireless charging but I wanted the best  Silicone available in the A11 Bionic so I made the jump.

I preordered the 8 plus on the first day and received the device on the official launch day. I previously had a 7 and a 7 plus and so far I love the 8+.

The one thing I am hoping doesn’t become an issue down the road is the glass back. I did like the all metal design of the 6 and 7 series phones.

But Apple has always done their homework and they say the durability of the new glass back is very good and only time will tell.

I do like the updated screen and the processor seems a little more zippy then it’s predecessor. I don’t use wireless charging so that’s not of reasons I upgraded to the 8+.

I feel the price point for the 64 gig version was right on point to what I was expecting and was not out of line compared to other devices in its class I.e the Note 8.

For myself I feel the device is worth upgrading to if you have the financial resources to do so. If not, stick to the iPhone 7+ and try and find a used 8+ further down the road.

PS: I am still going off and buying the new iPhone X as soon as preorders become available on 10/27/17 because I want to see how the gesture concept works being I am a old Blackberry OS10 user and liked it.

I'm not talking you into anything. You either want the 8 plus for whatever reason, or you don't, Somethings are just that simple. Be an adult and make a decision ...

 

[HBLEY]

yup that's right.

 

[HBLEY]

I have 7 plus. I am not convinced to shift to 8 or 8 plus. The only thing that I could go to is X. If the reviews are fine.

It’s a very heavy brick. Heavier than any Plus iPhone ever released.

I actually prefer the weight of the 8 Plus to the 7 Plus. It's not much, but it's enough to make it feel just a little more solid. I know not every likes that, but I do. For me, there is such a thing as a phone being too light. I don't know how to explain it and I may be the only one that feels that way. lol.

I hears that a couple of time.
Maybe it holds better because of added weight?

I am like that with my SE. I feel like it will slip out of my hands at the first occasion. Or if I cough and make it fly across the room haha it is SO light!

Barely back from the Apple Store. I am definitely getting the 8 Plus but I cannot make up my mind. Hesitating between Gold and Space Gray.

Gold is very pretty but tends to be harder to match with cases,space gray is more classy and matches every color lol

Even though I went space grey, I always like how with white faced phones I can’t see lint around the screen between the case and the phone.

Indeed! It is neutral, unlike gold!

And screen protectors are a lot harder to see, unlike with black bezels. It kinda breaks the clean, seamless look.

I see that on my gold 8 on the side of the cases but I'm a lint/dirt magnet LOL
