I know it's not the X, but this phone is gorgeous

The iPhone X will be the most talked about iPhone this year, but the 8 Plus will be the most underrated. It's just as powerful as the X and has most of the same features, and you can get it now. Enjoy your purchase. :)

Congrats on your purchase! :yes: I hope it treats you well :)

I've had the 8+ for just under 2 weeks now after having an iPhone 6 for just under 3 years. I decided to give the 6 to my father after his 5 broke.

Everyone I know with a plus size iPhone loves it. They all told me to get one so I did. I do like the screen, the camera and especially the speed. Only thing I don't like is the size. It just feels so darn big in my pockets and hand. The 6 was soooo light I hardly knew I was carrying it. I decided to try and order a X for delivery on launch day. I was able to do that so the 8+ is going back to Apple tonight. Hopefully all the new gestures don't cross me up too much...lol. :concern:

Congrats on your new phone! My wife has the 8 plus and loves it.
I’m not into the plus size phones and have a 7 but that’s why having a variety of sizes is nice.
Enjoy!

I have the 8+ and am on my 3rd one due to screen faults! This 8+ is being returned for refund and I am ordering the X.

I went to the Apple store today during lunch to check out an X. Beautiful design. I then started to play around and look at website to see how they would look with the notch, check other apps, youtube, take photos and videos. I found that the notch isn't really an issue. But man do you lose so much screen real estate compared to the Plus models. Just odd. I have a 6s Plus that is starting to show its age (battery wise due to natural deterioration) and if I do replace it, it'll be with a Plus model down the road. Maybe if they have an OLED plus model next year or something, then I'll get it. I'd take an X if I win a contest or something though.

I just hope Apple doesn’t stop producing the old school design with bringing the new X
I love the home button and the form factor of the plus It works for me.

You might be in for disappointment next year, though I wouldn't be surprised if they keep the 7/8 for another year for people like you that are having a harder time migrating.
FWIW you do get used to the gestures pretty quickly, and the button seems foreign after a while!

I came from Android and Samsung. I know it. Lol
I was just saying I like iPhone form factor

I am not interested in the X because I prefer Touch ID and also the price. That’s ridiculous. If I wanted I would get the Note 8 but I am over Sansung

You are insulting my intelligence and tech capabilities. I sold for Verizon for 5 yrs. I am not stupid

I’m already swiping up on my iPad.

It doesn’t work.

I'm hoping to upgrade from a 6s to an 8 Plus around Christmas. I've been a big fan of silver, but the gold model is so pretty. Did any of you get the gold, and could you share pictures? TY

I have seen the gold. It’s pretty. It has white front. My new series 3 Watch is the gold. I will get gold if and when ready

Wasn't my intention, I think you misinterpreted the spirit of what I posted. :)

But I had nothing to do with fear of moving on. I buy almost ever new flagship every year across iOS and Android. The X for me wasn’t special and I didn’t like it at all. Went back to the 8 plus. Just because someone doesn’t like it doesn’t mean there afraid of change.

Like I said I have had the Note 8. Pixel Xl 2, S8 plus, G6, Essential phone, Mi Mix and many others. Just don’t like the X.
