I'm getting an 8, and coming from a 7+.

I LOVE Portrait mode, better battery and the full HD screen, but the size was just silly to me.
I did get used to it, but it was just too big.

Had to do most things with both hands, and it never felt right in my pocket.

I feel the form factor of the iPhone 8 is just right for me.
I will miss the + features, but at the end of the day, I just want a useable 'phone' that isn't cumbersome.
 
Hasn't anyone heard of a Loopy case? Required equipment for a Plus sized phone. You can do EVERYTHING one handed on a Plus phone if it's in a Loopy case and it is virtually impossible to drop it. Once you've used a Loopy with a Plus phone, you'll never use another case again- or go caseless.

I tried out 4 other 'normal' cases on the ip6+ and wasn't happy with any of them - until I stumbled upon the Loopy. It looks funky, but it's awesome.

I hate cases like that. Either has to be a nice leather pouch case, or at most, an ultra slim shell case for scratch protection.
