- I really don’t care about the notch it’s like the camera bump I don’t notice itnikkisharif likes this.09-18-2017 07:42 PMLike 1
- I’m going for the X. I’ve never been concerned about battery life because I’m never far from an outlet or a portable charger. I’m not concerned about face ID vs Touch ID. I could not care less about animojis. I am a little concerned about the removal of reachability but I am most concerned about camera and size and those are the deciding factors. I have had the plus phones since the 6 plus and as much as I love the screen size I hate the overall size and the X perfectly solved that problem.09-18-2017 08:08 PMLike 0
- The camera bump isn't in your sight each and every time you light up your display. There is no comparison, in my opinion.anon(10092459) and libra89 like this.09-18-2017 08:20 PMLike 2
- I’m going for the X. I’ve been wanting a larger display at a smaller form factor than the Plus and it’s OLED too. The design is beautiful, the new space gray and the polished stainless steel makes the device ‘pop’ out more.

- I'll be getting the 8 Friday and the X when it's available. I currently carry a 6s Plus & a 7 Plus..use to also have a 6s but 3 was a lot to carry lol. Although I love the wide screens of my pluses, the overall size of the device has become a pain. The final straw was an awards ceremony I attended last week & those pluses felt like bricks in my clutch, which became tiring after a few hours. I also despise the home button🤷🏾*♀️
So my choices stem from me wanting to downsize & I did love the glass on the 4SSince I carry 2 devices, I'll replace the 6s Plus with the 8 & I'll either replace the 7 Plus (give to my daughter) with the X or keep the 7 plus for my office & still purchase the X (I pay for 3 lines, so it's no biggie). As far as battery life goes, I'm not really concerned. I'm a heavy user on both devices & I can make it a full day. I do keep an extra charger in my bag just in case, but I barely use it.
If you're leaning towards the 8 Plus, definitely go with that one. First mind is usually right, plus you said you don't feel the X is worth the extra money & the notch is bugging you. No need to get a device just because it's considered a flagship. Get what works for you. You're not missing out on anything because whatever device you choose will have exactly what you need. Not what others think you need!!Annie_M likes this.09-19-2017 07:28 AMLike 1 -

In comparison to the 8 Plus, the 8 Plus gains True Tone "true color" display technology, as well as an upgraded camera, the same A11 SoC and wireless charging capabilities as the iPhone X.
The X has a better camera, oled screen, animoji, Face ID, and edge to edge screen. Photos and videos taken on the 7 Plus will be cropped on the X, unless you tap the screen twice. Then you see the images entirely, but smaller and not edge to edge. The 8 Plus actually has a slightly larger screen in total space. It's definitely wider than the X. I prefer the wider screen with the 16:9 aspect ratio. Bezels don't matter to me, and neither would the notch on the X. The only feature on the X that the 8 Plus doesn't have that I would like are the animojis. I would have fun with those. Here's the screen difference between the 8 Plus and the X.
For me, the X would feel too small, more like the 4.7" models. I have tons of custom wallpapers that would no longer work on the X. If the X had the same screen width as the 8 Plus, I'd be looking at it a lot harder. It's just too tall and skinny for me. I don't like my women that way either.nikkisharif likes this.09-19-2017 08:46 AMLike 1 - I don't have anything against the iPhone 8/8 Plus per say, I'm just tired of the same design of the iPhone 6/6s Plus after four iterations. Because I like Apple products and the overall user experience, I adjusted to the very larger bezels for the last three years and now it's time to move on. My next iPhone will be the iPhone "X". Is the X perfect...NO, but it sure beats (IMHO) having the same design for 4 years in a row. As with most new phones (except the iPhone 6 thru 8) a period of adjustment is required. I welcome the challenge as I have done with every new phone along with new specifications.nikkisharif likes this.09-19-2017 09:12 AMLike 1

You are right that the "First mind is usually right," but I am still not 100% on the 8 Plus.Tartarus and nikkisharif like this.09-19-2017 11:07 AMLike 2 - In the TouchID versus FaceID debate I can go either way honestly. On TouchID I have to wipe off the sensor frequently, but with FaceID there should be a higher success rate. But I do agree with what you're saying about the 8 Plus!09-19-2017 11:08 AMLike 0
- The X screen size is the same width as the 8, with both at 375 points across. The X is just a little taller.

I agree with what you're saying about the size differences though.09-19-2017 11:13 AMLike 0 - I don't have anything against the iPhone 8/8 Plus per say, I'm just tired of the same design of the iPhone 6/6s Plus after four iterations.

- I agree that the 8/8 Plus design is dated being four generations old now. That is one of the reasons that I am still looking at the X. However, I do have a lot of cases and screen protectors for my 7 Plus that will work on the 8 Plus so it is a double edged sword. I am sure that no other phone manufacture could get by with having the same design for four generations.09-19-2017 11:26 AMLike 0

- I've heard that they will, but I figure you are more knowledgeable than the person who told me that the 7/7 Plus cases will work on the 8/8 Plus.09-19-2017 12:35 PMLike 0
- That's exactly what I'm doing. I preordered the 8, then using JoD to get the X. I'm currently using a S8+ and can't wait to get back to iOS. I'm worried about the tiny screen on the 8 until I can get the X though. I haven't used a 4.7 inch screen since the 6 was released.nikkisharif likes this.09-19-2017 12:37 PMLike 1
- We’ll see how much of a difference that 0.4mm makes when people start getting their 8’s in. I’m just saying I’m hesitant about 7’s fitting 8’s. My 0.2mm back protector on my 7 Plus makes some cases not sit right.09-19-2017 12:51 PMLike 0

- I would get the 8 Plus if I were upgrading. I'm waiting until next year for several reasons, including I want to see if a larger version of the X is offered. That, I might be interested in.09-19-2017 01:00 PMLike 0
- If money were no object, I would go with the X over the 8. If the smaller form factor was what I wanted. But I prefer the wider screen of the 8 Plus more than the X screen. If you currently use the 7, you'd probably like the X. I think some upgrading from the 7 Plus to the X may be disappointed in the X screen size, IMO.09-19-2017 01:08 PMLike 2
