Comparison screenshots (i8+ vs. iX / i8 vs. iX)

[lancastor]

I like the iPhone 8 Plus display ratio more. iOS11 UI is not really optimized for iPhone X (yet). With iOS12 Apple can do a lot better job.

The following screenshots compares iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. (iPhone 8 vs. iPhone X a few posts later in this thread). Link: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/comparison-example-screenshots.2067876/#post-25036590

The NOTCH! So fugly...

This is the 8+, not the 8!

The notch is interfering in everything. Honestly its so in your face I am surprised Apple stuck by it

I think you don't see it anymore after a few days of usage.

But what I don't understand. Why is the "homebar" everytime visible? I hope you can hide it in the accessibilty settings. Or in iOS11.1 it dissapears after a few seconds.

Is it just me or does the 8 plus look better?

S*it. My mistake. Can an administrator can change the thread title please?

Those huge bezels and home button.. so fugly.
[doublepost=1505500738][/doublepost]Yeah, actually comparisons with the 8 would be interesting since they both have the same point width.

Great screenshots. Thanks for posting them.

Having seen those screenshots, I realize that you don't get that much more usable screen space with the X compared to the 8 Plus. Most of the additional .4" of screen space (do I have that number right?) is taken up by the home-button-bar-thing and the notch area at the top the screen. And the screen on the X is taller, not necessarily wider than the 8 Plus.

Hm.

The more I see pics of X the more that notch bothers me.

You can change it. Click the little gear just below the thread title. It should be sitting atop the very first post (your post), on the right.

Sorry but the X has to be wider next year.

It's calling out for an 8 plus.

Let's see some screen shots it next to the 8 4.7".

The X is lacking in landscape mode... lots of wasted space. I think it looks great in portrait, and thankfully that's mostly what I use

I'm not a huge fan of the long and skinny display... wish they'd widen it up a bit.

This confirms my thoughts. In reality, the X is a beta release. Has lots to sort out before it's ready for prime time. The 8 Plus is the safe choice for now for most consumers.

Here is the iPhone 8 compared to the iPhone X. On this comparison the iPhone X wins.

Nope. 8 still wins, because #notchgate

It sort of seems that way, doesn't it? It makes you wonder what we are going see next year. Will the design change at all? Will we see a larger version of the iPhone X? Most likely, for the latter.

IF there is any sort of drastic design change next year based on the design of the X, current X buyers are gonna feel shafted. Doubt that's going to happen by next year though.

8 vs X screenshots are interesting as the two are physically similar in size. Awesome how much more screen / content you get with the X.

 

[joonyaboy]

That delicious screen real estate! *hearteyes*

Has anyone suggested a #NotchGate yet?

 

[Peanut207]

I like the wider screen of the 8 plus. The X looks like an elongated 7.

 

[blackberrycubed]

8 plus will be the one to get this year IMO.

 

[BenTrovato]

The X will be known as the iPhone Notch
