So I will try and make this quick. Firstly does anyone know the battery size on the phone? How good can we expect the battery to be? I ask this question based on the tech in the phone. The more efficient processor + screen size should deliver pretty good battery life right? Also would you guys say that besides the new processor and GPU the standard iPhone 8 is better than last year's iPhone 7+? Just curious if the upgrade would be worth it.
 
Lot of questions, bud. Depends on your desires. First, the battery is smaller in all of this year’s new devices. However, you can expect similar battery life. The X will last I believe it was stated an hour or so less than the 7+. That’s acceptable. As for the 7+ being better than the 8...dual camera, bigger battery, extra 1GB ram and 1080p-401ppi screen are all exclusives to the +. I’ve purchased every plus device made. This year I’m buying the 8. Tired of the huge profile of the plus. One-handed use means more to me this year. X would’ve been perfect not for the $1349 price (AC+ included).
