Why I went 8 Plus

[popkurn611]

I had a 8 before the X and battery life seems similar, no where near the plus, disappointing really, and I am not a heavy user and drain to 20% or less a day. If the 8 plus had no home button and a bit smaller, I would swap in a instant.

I find the X battery to be stellar. My 7 plus was maybe 10% better but have had zero issues with battery life. Lasts me all day

Lasts me all day

So does mine but the plus would go most of the next day too

Exactly. 8 Plus battery life is superb.

That’s exactly why I use the 8 Plus alongside my X.

I agree with the video above and those reasons, thats why i Just picked up a 8 plus SG 256GB 10 days old for $807AUD off ebay, so will get to test myself. Bargain.

Agreed. Rarely does my X get below 20% at the end of the day.

Do you have a AW, thinking it chews a fair bit with X v Plus.

Yes I do.

From Forbes:

"That 5.8-inch display that’s billed as the largest on an iPhone? There’s actually a bit of marketing speak at work there. The iPhone X uses a narrower aspect ratio than the iPhone 8 Plus. This means letterbox pillars when watching 16:9 HD movies (or going full screen and living with the notch cut into the display by the TrueDepth camera). But the narrow aspect ratio means the 5.8-inch iPhone X display (which is measured diagonally) actually has a smaller area than the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus.

Including the notch, the iPhone X offers 12.97 square inches of display. Take the notch out and that becomes 12.49 square inches. Some will argue it’s actually a bit smaller than those numbers because of the display’s rounded corners. The iPhone 8 Plus display is 13.04 square inches. Again, not a big difference, but take that iPhone X “biggest display” claim with a grain of salt."

8+ has a larger screen than the X. It’s simple math and math rarely lies.

Her has some good reviews. Looked at one about the iPad 12.9 inch screen a while back. I do not care much about the feature when picking up the phone the phone wakes up.
