Wow really! Why not the X?
Face ID is kind of a huge turnoff for me. As far as my needs go I'm way more into having a FPS and the camera is the same on the 8 Plus as it is on the X.

They keep saying how easy and simple it is, but to me it seems like an awkward way to unlock a phone. Plus the swiping gestures seem annoying being that they decided to do away with the home button
I am keeping my 7Plus. I would love cellular watch and wish it worked on 7+. Maybe it will?

They say it's easy, and it is. But it's way too many steps.
I'm thinking the 8+.... but maybe the X if I can convince my husband! LOL! Seriously though... I'm really thinking the 8+... and either the silver or the gold (if it's a pinky gold!). I like white bezels, so that is not an issue for me.

The camera is not the same. The telephoto camera has a different aperture and OIS.
I thought he had mentioned the cameras being the same between the Ocho Plus and the X.I am going with the iPhone X myself, can't wait until October 27 when I can preorder the device.

I'm interested to see how many people cave between now and X release. I was an extra good girl this spring/summer release. My wait is almost over.
Good luck, Ten Lovers!
which was bound to happen since that is 99.9% of my job. Ironic.I beg your pardon! You're right! I hate to admit that I didn't dig super super deep into the camera specs. Deep, yes, but not super. I apologize!
Once upon a time in the Steve Jobs Theater I was totally overwhelmed by specs, specs, specs because all you need is love.I thought he had mentioned the cameras being the same between the Ocho Plus and the X.
