I bought my iPhone 6s in June (2017), so it is 4 months old. I really like iPhone 8 plus, but I am wondering if it is good idea to upgrade? Should I wait for iPhone 8 plus price drop in next 3-4 months? I dont want iPhone X.

That depends on you. Should you? If you purchased the iPhone 6S outright AND can afford to do the same with an iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus then go for it. Still, it begs the questions, “Why did you purchase and iPhone 6S four months away from the sale of the newest iPhone devices, and why get a 6S instead of an iPhone 7?

Because I thought it is good deal- iphone 6s is still good phone for good price. Also, I thought 32GB is enough... wrong. (note: this iPhone is my first- I used to use only Android...)

Also I am considering buying 7PLUS because of metal body - I am afraid that glass back of iphone 8 is fragile...

I don't think getting a 6s is a bad idea, not everyone needs the latest and greatest and that phone still works great and will be supported for at least a couple more years.
Of course, there are things to keep in mind: do you take a lot of pictures? do you like to keep your own music (instead of streaming music)? do you keep a lot of documents, files? games? etc. any of these can take up large amounts of space, so try getting 64 GB and up.

Anyway, if you want/can afford it, go for a 7 or 8 plus... they all have their downsides, the aluminum back can bend, scratch, dent; the glass back can also scratch and break but at the end, it all comes down to how you use them and how careful you are.

Any device you choose will give you a great iOS experience.

Good luck and enjoy :)
