As I mentioned in my original post, it would be pointless for me going backward when the future is Face ID. If I buy the 8 my experience will be short lived, as theyll never be made again... so I’d be selling it due to Face ID only to be buying it again I future.. dammit Apple, why couldn’t they continue the same formula as last year with with 2 systems.

I get what you're saying, but your logic is seriously flawed. Why subject yourself to something you don't like now just because you might have to deal with it in the future?

I prefer TouchID over Face ID as well, so you know what I did? I got an 8 Plus. There's no reason why I can't enjoy this phone for 2 or even 3 years. At that point, who knows what my options will be? Preparing for the future is one thing, but there's nothing stopping you from enjoying what you want now while you can.

I've made a iphone X mock up out of cardboard just to get a feel of the size compared to my plus, have to say I like the size, like a lot have said it feels about right, guess the things that annoy me "notch/homebar/landscape /keyboard " did at the time, and are still holding me back, question for X user's, is the oled screen that much better than say 8/8plus, it's hard to tell in YouTube videos?

For black wallpapers hell yes!!! the led screens are horrible and so behind.. I can never go back to led and surprised some people have done that.
 
I love everything but the width of the screen. I been wondering if the 6.1 inch will be the size of a plus size phone? That would be perfect. If it were the size of my old 8 plus, but edge to edge display. I’d jump at that phone. I’m worried the 6.5 is going to be too big for me.
