Excellent. I hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying my 8 Plus.

I've stated my reasons for why I passed on the X... being IMHO the prototype that it is. In the end nobody cares what phone I buy, you buy, or anyone else buys. It's all about what phone they buy.

BTW, I'm not being passive aggressive.. I'm being brutally honest. LOL

Well I'm sorry you took it that way... that wasn't my intent.

It's the beauty of posting on the internet. Take care! :)

I have no issue with you passing on the X, along with your reasoning, but the way you speak to it does come off as passive aggressive or trying to belittle the person your're comment is directed to. By saying things like "enjoy your beta X phones", you just kind of come off as a jerk. For some people, the X looks great and they look forward to Face ID and the other features. Totally cool for you to choose the 8, there's just no reason to knock others for their choice. There is no wrong choice here since it's a personal preference.

Well said. Point taken.

My preference was to go with what has worked the last 3 years and reconsider the X in a year or two.

Totally cool that you didn't. :) :)
