Not asking for anyone to make decision for me, just looking to be sure I am not overlooking anything.
Upgrading from my iPhone 6 64 gb and getting a plus model this time. Have spent considerable time with plus size iPhones of family members and my aging eyes appreciate the larger screen.
So, considering the 7+ or 8+......with the 7+ I would get 128 gb, since 32 gb only other option, price of $769.
For the 8+ would get the 64 gb, since for me 256 would be overkill, at cost of $799. Price difference $30.
Wireless charging is not important to me.
I tend to keep my phones long term and am not a heavy user by any means.
Thanks for any input.
 
If wireless charging is not important, and nor is the bit better camera or glass form, I would maybe say go with the 7+ simply as if you plan to hold onto phone for a long time (ie 2-3 years) the additional storage might be useful unless you use cloud storage a lot. But I do think the 8+ is a very good looking phone! I do not have it but I did play with one in store a few times. If you do use cloud and feel 64gb is sufficient for your needs, that would be my vote. The 8+ enjoys many similar internals to the X, so I think is a very strong choice overall. How much storage do you use now?
