I'm currently rocking a 7 Plus and am looking to get the X right now.

I was wondering if there was any word on how likely a X Plus would be next year? I love how wide the screen is with the 7 Plus and that's my biggest hesitation to going with the slimmer X screen. I have huge hands and I'm not a big fan of typing on the size of a 7 or 8.

I may just bite the bullet and get a X, but if there's a big chance of a X Plus next year, I may as well wait it out. Thanks!
 
It does sound like the X Plus will happen next year, however only Apple know.
Iv'e come from the 7 Plus to the X, I enjoy the X.
Will contemplate the X Plus if it happens along with the extra $ and evaluate then..
If the X suits now, why wait? If you're currently happy with your 7 Plus, it may be worth the wait..

Only you really know.
 
I kind of hope it doesn’t. The X is the perfect size and I’d like to stick with it. But if they put more features in the plus then that will suck.

It's almost guaranteed at this point that Apple will expand to a larger 6.5 rumored iPhone X in 2018 by Ming Kuo. Logically it would make sense that Apple would offer another model next to the 5.8 iPhone to diversify.

You hope it doesn’t? If it’s a perfect size for you, then you do know that Apple will provide the same size for you next year with a few upgrades, so you’re not losing anything, size wise. Apple may offer the wider version next year for those that want it, and that should be a plus, and you personally will not be losing anything. And you should know by now that each and every year Apple improves on the previous model. So why should it suck?
 
I think we'll see another X like iPhone, not sure whether they'll call it "plus" but I can see that happening.
What I'd like to buy is something in the middle between my 8+ and X. I like the width of my 8+ but I don't think I need such a tall display, and I prefer the aspect ratio of the 8+.
 
I feel pretty confident there will be an iPX Plus next year... considering the X is physically the same size as the 8, the iPX Plus will probably be the same size of the 8+

It would also mean even higher ASP for Apple, which is a win for the company! However I’m not sure if I’d want a phone that big again... I adjusted from years of having a Plus model to the X and I’m loving it.
