Moved from an iPhone 7 to the 8+ yesterday, 3/9...first + version of the iPhone since starting with the iPhone 4. So far, wondering why it took so dang long for me to consider the + versions!!

Got the 8+ after three years on the 6. I love the camera and the real estate. But I still can’t accept the dimensions of the phone - it’s so huge!

That's because the design is so old.It's practically a dinosaur. There is absolutely no excuse for a 5.5 inch phone being that huge in 2017/18. Large bezels are out.

Completely agree with you. I find it unjustifiable to sell the same design for 4 years. I had waited out on the 6s and the 7 waiting for a refresh in design. But I couldn’t wait any longer as my 6 was not cutting it anymore and I couldn’t afford the X.

Just upgraded from the 7+ to the 8+. Hoping to hold onto it for a year (or two) until they finally do a redesign of the plus models.
