Many people are in the dilemma between the iPhone Plus vs. iPhone X screen size. iPhone Plus is still an overall bigger screen. As for me, I only need the bigger screen for watching videos. 16:9 formats will still look larger on the Plus. But when you’re watching 21:9 movies, all exisiting iPhones look smaller as it needs to be cropped along with black bars on top and bottom (watching landscape).

But on the X, wouldn’t this be an advantage, as the whole screen will be filled without and crops on a 21:9 format? And would be the same size as the plus?

If so, I think this will justify for me to get the X Over the Plus.
