I currently own an XR, is it bad that I want to go back to the 8 plus? The 8 plus seemed wider to me whereas this XR seems more narrow

The 8 Plus is wider when holding it horizontally due to the aspect ratio, it’s 16:9 whilst the XR and others in the same form factor are 18:9.

You are better off sticking to the XR and getting used to it though, all flagships and most new devices are using this aspect ratio now.

It’s the new standard.

😂😂😂. So no i don’t think it’s weird at all. Matter of fact I would find it perfectly normal behavior
 
It’s up to you what you like. I personally like the non home button devices better but it’s all personal preference

You can’t just post this and not share a comprehensive and detailed post about that upgrade and downgrade cycle you went through.

The 8 Plus (in my opinion) has the best screen of any current iPhone or any future OLED screen iPhone.

XR is a better phone in almost every way.

Seems like you have a sort of disease 🤔

Your opinion doesn’t cope with any technical analysis.

Your question was mine as well. I ended up selling my XR for a new 8+ as I like the screen better and Touch ID. The XR was a great phone though.
