I'm hoping they don't move over to USB C until they sort out their accessories. It actually isn't as good as you'd think it is, and definitely not as good as lightning.

#1. The plus was the top selling model last year by 2:1 so you’re own experience - and your argument - are invalid.
#2. Apple didn’t lie. The x screen is larger. Seems math is hard for you.
There's always one.

Lets do three! Small, Medium, Large!

See reply above. It's a lie.

They didn't. Take a lap.

I am not sure what you mean by 'sort out their accessories'? And I don't really care about Lightning being marginally better than USB-C. I just want a single connector for all my things, and USB-C is more than good enough for all things needed anyway.
There's only one thing people are going to buy for their phones that will really hit them, headphones. Have you tried to buy USB C headphones? I have. Not every pair of headphones work with every phone. You read that right. Not every pair of USB C headphones work with every USB C port. That isn't getting into the problem where there are no good USB C headphones to begin with.
I think we will do fine with Bluetooth headphones. The industry is pushing aggressively in that direction anyway.
I love BT headphones. I really love it when the battery dies in cold weather. You know, that thing that happens during Winter?
Lucky you? But yeah, BT headphones are going to be a no go for a large portion of people where plugging in a cord just works.

The iPhone X screen is 2.6% smaller than the Plus size screen.
Someone already did the math.

You suck at this arguing thing. Which phone has more real estate? Look into it and get back to me. If it’s the iPhone X, I’ll buy you one. And again... when the only other option is TOO SMALL, of course you're gonna buy the bigger one. What part of that don't you understand?

Sorry Charlie, but your wrong. Sure, the diagonal measurement is longer... but that is a lie. You can't use the top portion of the screen because of the cameras. The corners are rounded. The bottom has unusable space because of the need for controls (no home button) and its as narrow as the smaller iPhone. You can't even turn it sideways and get all the split screen features because its so small. Its literally the size of the iPhone 8 if you're being honest.
SO AGAIN... FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME.... WE ALL LOVE THE SIZE OF THE iPhone 8 PLUS!!!! Just make a bezel-less version of THAT screen. Not a iPhone 8 screen size, which is essentially what the X is.
And again, and again, you complained about the iPhone X screen not being larger were it matters: width. Then I spell out exactly how wide the screen is and you start complaining about that the height is not fully usable. Talk about changing the subject when you get caught out wearing no clothes.
Caught wearing no clothes... mmmkay. I own both... the screen is MUCH LARGER on the iPhone 8 Plus. This is not debatable. All you have to do is step into an apple store for 2 seconds and see for yourself. Like saying your house is bigger than mine because you have a 12 foot chimney. Gimme a break.
I quoted the precise screen dimensions of all the current iPhones (minus the SE) which made it as clear as it could be that the Plus phone's screens are still wider than the iPhone X screen, but that the iPhone X screen was nevertheless also noticeably wider than the iPhone 6/7/8 screen, something you originally disputed. Somewhere in there you also accused me of lying about the screen widths.
I accused no one of anything. There is more screen real estate on the Plus models that there is on the X. Why do you insist on continuing this "wider" argument that means nothing to the big picture?
Telling me that I am wrong and what I said is a lie, is not accusing me of lying?
"Sorry Charlie, but your wrong. Sure, the diagonal measurement is longer... but that is a lie."
you have a very large wallet, Mr. Gates. not all of us do, though we love ❤️ apple
Lemme help you out... since you can't seem to differentiate between a meaningless diagonal screen dimension and actual screen size.

1. Great. Another mouth breather who thinks "top selling" somehow equals quality. Hey, did you know Taylor Swift is the best singer in the history of man? You know how I know? She sold the most albums last year. Yea... its true. It's also true Walmart is the best store in the world. And McDonalds serves the best food in the world.
2. Longer does not equal larger. See the video I posted above if you're having trouble comprehending diagonal measurements and actual screen size.
Here's the math on the difference in screen size between the Plus and the X.

Go get a CDMA phone, it has essentially the same thing.
On the main topic of the thread this would definitely be interesting, but I've grown tired of big phones and would hope that they also come out with a new bezelless phone in an SE case.
That’s pretty moronic of you don’t you think? Their goal is to please everyone, the IPhone X already has a screen size the size of the 8 plus. In my case I can’t use the X it’s way too small in my hands and I love the size of the 8 plus but would love the extra screen size and the newer features. I plan on buying the X plus when it comes out, I wanted the X and I’m very happy that I passed on it because I would’ve hated to have that phone in hand everyday. Anyone with half a brain cell would realize what their aim is and that they are going to achieve it while bringing out 3 phones.
