I don’t like the X. I tried to like it, played with it a lot. But what I want in a phone the 8+ does and am happy with my choice.
I like the form factor, how it feels in my hands and the Touch ID. I like the bezel and it isn’t because I don’t like complete touch screens, because I do....just not the X

Your still working? You must be improving a lot if your going back to work.

Surgery wise. I do have to have chemo and radiation. I might have to go back on disability going into week 3 of radiation. My dr said it will be tough to handle and I know it won’t be easy. Will have to see what happens.

As someone that has 2 X’s I second guess that decision a lot. I like the X’s for sure. They’re pretty. While I appreciate them $2,300 for 2 phones is not insignificant

Do you use one for personal and the other for work?

Na, both personal. On Sundays I switch and forward my main number to the secondary device.

That’s super sweet... you’ve got the best of both worlds.

I figure the batteries will last a bit longer too, since each phone is only being used half the time. Yeah, that’s a crazy way to help justify spending an extra (~$1,200). Lol

It should help preserve the batteries a bit longer. Why don’t you use both at the same time (one for work, one for personal)? That’d be super cool and fun

I have an iPhone 6s and 6s Plus for work. I’m content with those for work. I like my job but I’m not letting them on my personal toys!

I’ve been using my 7 Plus as my secondary device, and I can understand why some users went with the 8 Plus. If I could afford to get the 8 Plus to be used alongside my X, I would!

[Westiemom]

I’m super enjoying my 8 Plus and don’t regret choosing it instead of the X like I thought I might.
I’ll be very interested in the next version of the new design though.

[tadpoles]

After having 2 x 7 Pluses I can’t really say my iPhone X’s do anything better that’s notable. They gave me the opportunity to spend more $$$$. Other than that my 7 Pluses (matte black and silver) were just fine. ...and I know the 8/8 Plus is just fine... but if I hadn’t gotten the X’s I’d be wanting to. That’s just how I work.

It also interesting that even many Apple-centric mobile forums, including this one, haven’t adjusted for the X’s display yet.

[Abu Khadija]

Still think a little here and there about the 8 plus that I had. The screen was nice. I’m not disappointed that I went with the X.

Work wise I have to get something for that. My employer isn’t happy sometimes when I won’t give my X to a customer so they can talk. Might have to get an SE or something for the work.

Most people are very content with the iPhone 8/8 Plus. I’m assuming that it’s due to the A11 and overall build quality of the device... oh the camera too!

When you consider there was nothing wrong, that I know of with the 7 Plus, the 8 Plus is just icing on the cake.

It truly is!
I know that the bezels and the overall design is indeed very dated, but the experience is still phenomenal

I went from the 7 plus to 8 plus. I dont regret it at all. iPhone X was too small for me lol

[tadpoles]

My other half confessed that he wished he had an 8 Plus instead of an X last night. Face ID. He’s not feeling it.

I upgraded my 7 Plus to the 8 Plus, and I don’t regret it at all! It’s a beast in terms of performance and battery life.

Will he be getting the 8 Plus?

I don’t know 🤷

I'm thinking of doing the same, as you probably already know by my posts ha

Speaking of battery life 😁

[imyigarcia]

Speaking of battery life

That is amazing. How does your battery last that long? I’m only averaging 16 -18 hours Standby time (which is still great compared to what I was getting with my 6)

[Beantool]

After having this phone for a couple hours now I am so glad I didn’t spring for the X. Feel like the only thing I’m missing out on really is the new svelte design because OLED vs. LCD is a matter of preference really. This thing is a beast! I’ve got the white/silver 64gb version inside of a clear Pelican case so I feel like I have the ultimate mix of form and function.

There’s a lot of variables when it comes to battery life. I believe that Usage is more important than Standby.

It’s a beast for sure!
The battery life, A11, and wider display is
