iPhone X Plus... opinions welcome

I’m in the no X plus camp. I mean how much taller and longer does the screen need to be? It will be too tall and the width will be pretty wide no?

Look at the S8+ for reference. The 6.2 inch screen is fine.
Rumor has it Apple will release a 6.4 inch + version that fits in the same size as the 8+.

Personally I don't think we will see one ext year.

Apple has been on a longterm attempt to reduce products within the same lines once they have located the sweet spot. Now is the a prototype unit that Apple is looking at, without a doubt. But consolidating to a single new style improves production, manufacturing costs and then leaving the 8 style will move to the base/budget minded. IMHO

The one thing that these pages have taught me, a site soley dedicated to trying to figure out what Apple is up to next, is that we never know what Apple is up to next.

I expect it is likely, though not necessarily next year.

I think there is definitely a market for it, and Apple would want to take advantage of it. I am not in that market though. I have small hands and useless tiny lady-pant pockets. I am thrilled with the larger X screen in something that is not too much bigger than the 6/7/8.

I absolutely want a plus version, and that is part of my hesitation about upgrading now. What scares me is the price tag on that plus version. I can’t see the regular X sized model going less than eight to nine hundred dollars entry level

No way, coming from a plus the last 3 this will be a big downgrade in size. I can’t wait for the plus.

Word is they have been working on it for a year now already. It will be here next year

Yes! Apple take my money!

I would pay a lot for an X+!

I don’t see Apple having 4 devices. If they got rid of the 8 style I could see it.

I keep reading about people saying that they will skip iPhone X and wait next year for the X Plus model... like it is a fact that it will be made.

What do you guys think? I feel like it is not going to happen and IPhone X will keep existing in just one size.

Because in all likelihood, it makes complete sense to Apple is going to upgrade the size of the iPhone X to a larger variant, more specifically it's been rumored to a 6.4 inch. It doesn't need to be a fact knowingly the logic behind it.

Keep in mind, the opinions of readers of this forum have exactly zero bearing on what is going to happen. We could all think an 'X Plus' will come out in 2018, but whether or not it does is a crap shoot.

I'm getting my X day after tomorrow. If there's a 'X Plus' next year, I'll trade in my X and get that, otherwise I'll trade in my X and get whatever the new one is. 🙂

Keep in mind, this is what the iUP was designed for. Not really a strong reason to hold off for an entire year hoping the next year's model will be 'better'.


Pro Tip: Next year's model will always be better.


Don't follow the logic of "well, next year will be better, so I'll wait until then" otherwise you'd never upgrade and you'll unnecessarily be keeping yourself in old tech when you could be enjoying new tech much more frequently.

I was just wondering... I have my 256 SG waiting for me at Apple Store on Friday ;-)

 

[Thelazysword]

If they have this next year. I am getting it day 1.

Wait till you see the ipad Plus with no bezel. You'll probably want that too OP.
