Anyone return the 8 plus for a X? Was it worth it or not? Thinking about it. I have till Tuesday.
I visit but don't post a lot here lately, but I just wanted to wish you well, you're definitely in my thoughts, I've been through breast cancer with my wife and can appreciate what you're going through. Stay strong and remain positive and it will work out!

I upgraded from the 7 plus to the 8 plus. After a week and a half I returned the 8 plus and got the X. I was having a little more trouble getting the 8 out of my leg pocket than the 7. With it being a little thicker than the 7 it was causing me pocket problems.
.
I was hoping to get the 8+ now but I don’t want to add 24 bucks to my bill. I am going to hold off until I have my watch paid off unless before XMAS Verizon does something marvelous and offers a trade in. I got 529 trade in allowance on my Note 5 when I got my 7+ so I am only paying 16.00 a month for my 7+. That is hard to give up. There is nothing wrong with my 7+. I just want the 8+. LOL. I need to be smart. I will have the phone a yr on Jan 13th. I did get the Apple Pencil....delivery on Tues. I am going to have fun with it.
I totally get it. For that monthly bill to go up it needs to be for a good upgrade.
I bought my 6s Plus last year right after the 7 came out at the ed of September. I thought it would put me on the “upgrade every year” path with iPhone and I’d get the much anticipated new one this fall.
Turns out I bought my 6s Plus 2 weeks too late for that and so wasn’t on the upgrade program. The good thing is it gave me some time to really think about what I wanted. I got a hands on experience with the X in a Verizon affiliate store and really wasn’t blown away. So after a lot of thought (and paying off my 6s Plus ) I went with the 8 Plus for the new A11 chip and the camera.
It has turned out to be a big upgrade over the 6s Plus for me and I love it. The camera is truly amazing! And the phone is fast.
But if I had gone with the 7 Plus last year I wouldn’t have had a good excuse to upgrade really. The difference would be more minimal. I was paying $29 a month for the old phone and it will be $39 now so up $10 a month. But got that $300 gift card from Walmart so that makes up for it!
BTW - hoping for good things for your health and full recovery!
