Hey!It's just a matter of preference for everybody. Some prefer the iPhone 8 because they're not interested in the iPhone X and vice versa. You have options as a consumer, an Apple has some of the largest iPhone line up options available for everybody. There is no wrong choice what somebody chooses, it's just a matter of what they want from the device.
You better watch where you spout all that “reasonable” and “sensible” thinking! We don’t much like that ‘round here!
