Haha I did the exact same thingCouldn’t take the iPhone 5 any more. I’m in a new city and really need a good phone for navigation and figuring things out.
I got the 8+ in red. Love it. Coming from the 6S and more recently the 5, it’s a nice upgrade. The pinnacle of the gen 3 iPhone. I had no idea that Touch ID was soo much better now as I’ve never used anything beyond the 6s. This was a good compromise that will hold me over until I pick up an XI plus or whatever they have next year.
Picked up the iPhone 8 plus 64gb in red. Will keep it until the new X comes out and has been out for a few months when all the problems have been ironed out.
Didn't go for the X as didn't see the point with a. new model coming out soon, which I new I would get so might as well get the cheaper alternative.
