on phonearena.com you can look at the iPhone x as it’s actual size, and when you compare with the iPhone 7 Plus, the screen of the iPhone X is 136mm x 62mm, versus the iPhone 7 Plus 121x68
My issue is, when watching most videos which are 16:9 ratio, the size then will be 110x62 for the X, against 121x68 for the plus, that’s quite a drop of 21% screen estate.
When you couple that with the inferior battery life for the X, it’s not looking that attractive for plus owners I must say
Might wait for the plus sized X next year if there is one
Any thoughts on the screen size for plus owners?
 
This is what has me on the fence at the moment between the 8 plus and the X. The thing pulling me towards the 10 is the better telephoto camera. But for reading webpages, the slightly increased 8 plus screen width will be nicer.

Either way it's time to move on from my 6+.
