Talk me into the 8 Plus

[mumfoau]

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

It’s harder to see with white faces though. Lol With black faces...whew

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

Space Gray!

Gold! It's so dang lovely! I couldn't stop looking at it! I kept it naked the entire time I had it

I have been an android user for the past few years, my last iPhone was the 4S. I recently purchased the 8 plus for the camera functionality and was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use. I love the size of the screen, the phone is blazing fast, and the pictures it takes...the best work I have done from a phone camera! I would recommend the 8/8+ to anyone. The X looks nice but I feel the OLED is new for apple and so is the faceID, Touch ID works every time and to me makes more sense for Apple Pay. I’d grab the 8/8+ and skip the X. Maybe after a couple generations faceID and OLED with no bezels will be more compelling a case to buy a phone, but for now the 8+ is the iPhone to buy.

My wife and I both have the 7 Plus and have no plans to upgrade for a couple of reasons. First, the 8 is not compatible with T-mobile's 600 MHz band that's rolling out. That's a big deal to me because signal inside a building is horrible. Neither of us need wireless charging and although I am a photographer and would love all the new camera features of the 8, I'd rather get a new 400-600 mm lens for one of my Canon cameras.

Yeah that'd be a nice investment.

I just exchanged my unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for an iPhone 8 Plus. I had an iPhone 7 Plus last year after the Note 7 fiasco, so when I got my iPhone 8 Plus, it felt like I was saying "hi" to an old friend again.

Maybe that'll help you decide?

I know that feeling well, I get it often when I wander off to the Android side but inevitably come back. Despite knowing that, I still really want a Pixel XL 2. Ideally I’d have two phones and use both but I can’t justify it!!
I know the X looks different and exciting (to some) but I’ve just found it a little underwhelming and I’m more drawn to handsets like the Pixel, Note 8 and LG V30.
I’ll probably stick with my 8+ though as it’s a really nice familiar handset, kinda like a good, trustworthy old friend

That's exactly how I described my experience when I unboxed my iPhone 8 Plus.

BTW, the Pixel 2s have terrible durability and are NOT worth the expensive price tag despite what the hype train is telling everyone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVKnt7H4zVc&t

I saw the 8 Plus in-store yesterday, and it’s gorgeous!
The new glass back feels great.

I got the 8 Plus with the full intention on getting the X and am now actually thinking I may stick it out with the 8 Plus for awhile. I came from a Note8 but before that I had the 7 Plus and this thing is crazy fast plus the camera is amazing with the included 4k 60fps recording option. I haven't had a single issue with mine and probably can wait until next year for the X.

I got the 64GB iPhone 8 Plus and it’s nothing short of amazing!

Space gray or gold? Thinking about the space gray myself but not sure.

Just returned the X due to its size and how it navigates I personally see the 8 plus as a better device.

I really like the new gold, but I prefer the black front. Plus the space gray is gorgeous, in my opinion.
