Almost 6 Months on the X and not looking back.

I just switched to the X from a 7 plus. I was very interested in the smaller form factor and the added extra features including the awesome higher screen resolution. I’m not disappointed. I’m glad I switched.

The power saving claim doesn’t really apply to be because at my desk and in my car I have chargers, and I carry a battery pack in my bag so I’m always around power.

The issue wasn't power saving. The issue was that the phone would hard shut down when under heavy load because the battery couldn't provide enough power when it aged (or got extremely cold, or both). You could be around plugs and cables or battery packs galore, but, unless you were plugged in at the point of failure, the phone would shut down, with absolutely no warning.

And, of course, the vast, vast, vast majority of people are using iPhones without being plugged in almost all of the time.

And it was introduced with iOS 10.2, not iOS 11, for the iPhone 6 and 6s.

Whatever excuse apple claims, I never had any issues with the phone until apple throttled it to the point it was useless. My phone wasn’t plugged in all the time as you suggest, but I’m constantly around chargers. Also I skipped the iOS 10.2 update so for me it did happen with the iOS 11 update.

Nice, I’m thinking of doing the same to replace my Note8.

Eh. The battery life doesn't seem to be that great on the S9+. I'm not impressed.

I'd keep the Note 8.

How is the battery life exactly? My Note8 took a couple weeks for the battery to break in so I’m wondering if the S9+ is the same way.

I'm averaging about 30 mins SOT per 10%-12% of battery.

The standby time is horrendous. I lost 12% last night.
