No it’s what helped my sale. I pretty much got the full price of the phone back just threw in apple care as a bonus.

I have had the iPhone X since launch day, but I am strongly considering trading it for an iPhone 8 Plus. Has anyone else here made this switch? Do you miss the iPhone X?
The main reason I am thinking about switching is screen real estate. I am not a huge fan of the taller aspect ratio, especially when watching video. I also don’t see the value in the premium price of the iPhone X - this part doesn’t really matter now, but I kind of regret not going with the 8 Plus to begin with.
One thing I am worried about, is that I will dislike the LCD after using an OLED screen for a few months if I make the switch.
I agree with all that. My X gripe is FID is useless in my vehicle and slower than 8 plus TID, and my 8 plus gripe is its like a brick in the pocket.
I'm back to 8 plus didn't like the screen size of the X after using all the past iphone plus handsets it was getting a bit difficult to use the x with those swipe gestures plus there are some softwares issues with the X.i dont feel the difference as far the screen resolution of 8 plus is concerned for me this screen resolution is still crisp.face recognition is simply irritating coz at times it works and at times it dosent.touch id is great.me glad that I made the switch
What if the mobile phone owner is a guy. And the guy decides to either grow a beard or remove a beard. That will defiantly make facial recognition useless.
I’m thinking a doing the same. I really miss Touch ID and there are days where Face ID will not work unless I shut the phone down.
I am doing the same. I got my 8 Plus and now that I actually have some accessories, I'll be firing it up (I'm too anal to use a phone without a screen protector and case). There are just some things that I despise about the X, even though I do love some things. And I lost my sunglasses at Disney World a couple of weeks ago and had to buy some new ones. Apparently, Face ID HATES them and doesn't work at all if I'm wearing sunglasses. That's a complete deal breaker for me. I don't want to type my password every time just because I have on sunglasses.
I originally had the 8 plus gave it to my BF once I got the X. I miss it... the one feature I loved was double tapping the home button to move the screen down I miss that on the x. And Face ID is slower than Touch ID and mine doesn’t work half the time.

The one thing the 8 Plus does better is that it has better battery life.
