While I might consider upgrading just for the better cpu and camera, I owe too much on my 7+ to do it. If you've got the money to spare...
I used to have a 4 and a 4s but I can’t remember what the glass was like if it was more grippy and better with scratches than the aluminum. I hope it’s not as slick as the aluminum.
Just placed a pre order. The storage capacity bump from 128 to 256 GB and wireless charging was enough reason for me.

That is my issue. I still owe too much on my 7+
I’m on Apple’s iphone upgrade program and can upgrade my 7 Plus. I’m not interested in the X. I m a weirdo who actually likes the current form factor with the home button and bezels. So I want to update to the 8 Plus. I have a matte black and thought the silver 8 plus looks nice for a change. There’s very little out of pocket, maybe tax on the unit is all on the upgrade program. I get one upgrade a year so it’s fun to try a new phone out every year.
I’ve heard a lot of iphone tech people say don’t waste your time on the 8 or 8 plus if you have a 7. I disagree. It has a better camera, processor and for me a storage upgrade from 32 to 64 gb so it seems like a good deal at only $30 more at $799 vs the $769 iPhone 7 Plus. Maybe next year the X will entice me more.
I’m also tempted instead to get a 128gb red 7 plus as my local store has them still. I love the looks of it but the 8 has the newer tech I’d love to try out.
Are any of you planning on upgrading to the 8 or 8 plus?
The glass is definitely gonna be better in so many ways. Espl the 2017 glass versions are gonna be more durable than the previous ones.
That's a bold statement considering durability tests haven't been performed and in general the current body holds up fairly well in my experiences.
I still have a major problem with the price. Paying $1,000 for a cellphone is crazy
