storage constraints compelling a new iPhone. I now have an iPhone SE and plan to upgrade to wither an iPhone 7 Plus or 8 Plus with considerably more than my current 16 GB. Beyond increased storage, I will get more screen real estate. Will I see any differences with iOS with a bigger screen?
Got a tip for us?

The Plus/Max models allow landscape orientation for certain apps like Mail and the Springboard.
The keyboard spacing is a bit roomier, though I don't recall if the layouts are modified to add extra keys.
It's not a world of difference, but there are small ways where the extra space is utilized.

This corresponds with my experience, although I ended up with a mere 6s Plus.
I was hoping for just a hint of multi-tasking, but I really like the bigger screen— especially the keyboard.
