What are the main advantages of the 8 vs the 6S? If I upgraded I see that I would get more memory (64GB vs 32GB) and better battery life. I would lose the headphone port, but thats okay if I get better battery life. I am tempted to go and pay off the $272 remaining on my contract and get the iPhone 8, but maybe it would be wiser to wait. Cant afford the X so don't mention it and besides I prefer the home button and touch id.
Got a tip for us?

Better camera, wireless charging, faster cpu and gpu, water resistance, trutone, wide color gamut display, stereo speakers... There’s more differences but, those are right off my head
Aside from the options listed from the member, the haptic home button is an additional feature and the processoring speed is fairly significant.
If you backed up to iTunes (encrypted) and restored from the backup it should have all your saved passwords
I’m new to iPhones (since July), however my understanding is if you do not encrypt then the passwords are not saved. When I went from my 7+ to my X, I iTunes encrypted backed up my 7+ and then did a restore to my X and my passwords were all there on the X.
You may have lost some of them - but signing into iCloud (Keychain Access) should bring a lot of it back - especially wifi and email passwords

Yeah stuff like FB and Twitter had saved passwords but I mean I lost all my saved WIFI networks and their passwords. So now I have to re enter them.
Safari may have them in the stored passwords? Keychain should have most of them - assuming you had iCloud enabled on your 6S ? - I have found wifi passwords this way in the past for many networks - hotels - friends houses etc. If not - you face the painful process of re - entering them.
