i feel like more productive with 8+, better keyboard, apps already optimised, bigger screen and better battery, and i was missing a lot my touchid, for me still the best way to unlock iphone until today... so, goodbye X, see you when an x plus will be available
until that time, the plus will be my mobile!
Because were all full of pride?from other threads.
Disagree! I’m in the same boat! Had an 8 Plus for a month and having similar battery life on my X now. Probably the 8 Plus would’ve been still around 15-20% when X died today, but it’s very similar.That's unlikely lol

Correction: we are all apple prideBecause were all full of pride?
Screen is not bigger.
iPhone 8 Plus: 4.79x2.69= 12.88 sq in
iPhone X: 5.31x2.45= 13.04 sq in
But if you think it is bigger that’s all that counts.
Yes, data speaks for itself! Great video and so true, my 7 plus battery was a disaster!I’ll just leave this here. Lol.
You’re pretty spot on. Everyone wants to throw the specs out there, but usable space needs to be addressed. Most apps don’t and probably can’t ever use the screen on the X properly. Nothing is shot in that aspect ratio. It’s all just wasted space in landscape.You are both right in your own ways. Mathematically the X is bigger. The problem is in the narrower width and the amount of unusable vertical space which makes the usable portion of the screen smaller than a plus. The X looks like a stretched out 7, a scroll if you will. The width is the real problem and why people perceive it to be smaller. This is most noticeable when typing because the keyboard letters are smaller like those on a 7. Also if you like playing games on your phone, the width is very noticeable in landscape. Basically they could make the X 5’ (yes 5 foot) x 2.45” and it would still be to narrow when coming from the plus and most of it would be a waste of space, just like the extra .52” on the X. By trying to make the X a happy medium between the 7 and 7+, Apple screwed up in my opinion. It’s great for the ones moving up from a 7 but sucks if you have the plus and like the size of the plus. Just my 2 cents. Oh, we just cancelled my wife’s X and I am returning mine this weekend because we perceive them to be too small as well. Long live the plus! Haha
What's your average battery like on the 8+?
Never known battery life like it.

I have to ask, how many people actually use landscape? It sounds good in theory, and is what originally drove me to the 6S Plus, but I quickly found I never used it that way. Anecdotally, walking around, I cannot recall the last time I saw anyone using any phone in landscape. I have been hearing a lot about the width of the X and how it’s useless for landscape, and I would agree, but I guess I would question what percent that is relevant for.
I mean, nearly every game I play is landscape only, and whenever I watch video it’s in landscape. Wasted space.

Excellent post and point.I have to ask, how many people actually use landscape? It sounds good in theory, and is what originally drove me to the 6S Plus, but I quickly found I never used it that way.

Sure it’s taller and more narrow. It’s techinally bigger but it doesn’t feel bigger coming from a plus model. The phone felt cheap, fragile and didn’t find it imprsssive. Returned for an 8 Plus and I felt so happy to have that phone back lol. To each their own and I hope those that have the x will enjoy it. I just know moving forward I can’t have a “smaller” phone.Screen is not bigger.

8+ has more "usable" space. I mean watching videos, etc. the traditional way (fullscreen without the notch), it'll be bigger on the 8+ than the X.
