They don't seem to be going out of their way to seek them out either. Here is their list of approved providers: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209096
Hope you weren't planning on using the eSIM on a trip to Italy, France, Spain, Japan, or pretty much anywhere because only 10 countries are currently supported. With a physical SIM you just pop it in and go and you know that it will work.
Oh, so is that you in my head asking that question ... ?
I've got a Plus I kept - mostly for dev purposes - and when I use it, it feels big, I'll occasionally compare it to my X, you know, pocket it, etc., and the X is just better. However, that's also comparing radically different designs, so it's a little Apple™ vs. Oranges. Just one other perk on the XS vs. XS Max and it might have been an easy choice, especially something relating to the camera (like when only Plus models had OIS).
To be honest, if I don't go with a Max, I probably won't even upgrade my X, it works fanatically well, I'm not performance limited, FaceID is like 99% accurate for me, it'll run iOS 12, and I'm set with my current storage capacity and carrier.
You’re forcing me into deep cerebral activity of the more obscure kind

I would have wanted one if it had USB C (note: haven't looked at all of the pro's and con's) as the computers are all going that route, not to mention my other phone, and Nintendo Switch.
Xr would be my choice to get and not the other 2. I was watching the Livestream on my i6 and I was fine with the LCD screen.
Soon Apple will supply a kidney replacement to ease customers returning

I fell asleep during the talk. Did I miss anything. No. Wow...what a boring event.
If you get it suitably excited, it grows into an iPhone XS Max Plus. (Requires in-app purchases)
You don't understand what ppi mean if you bring size of phone in the context
Looks like I'm going to hang on to my 6s Plus another year. Was thinking of getting an 8 Plus but with pricing @ $849 for the 256mb mode I think I'll just keep my 6s which still works great and does everything I need a phone to do.
I would have said yes until I saw it is £749 here. I doubt i’ll be able to get it on contract for less than £45 a month and that’s just too much. I’m not really into renting phones on upgrade schemes either as they are expensive just for the privilege.
Although it’s very boring and predictable I think i’ll be picking up an iPhone 8 which might look old but it’s a powerful phone for what I need. I’m quite disappointed though as I thought I could be swayed.
The only surprise remaining is Phil’s new pants size - increasing every year

^^^ Bingo. This right here. No real difference between the X and Xs. Only reason to upgrade my X is if I wanted the larger form factor of the Xs Max (and I'm not convinced I want to go back to that size in my pocket again. I like the X form factor and screen size)
I don't think that's true. 8 Plus is still for sale on Apple Website. Did you see explicitly somewhere the 8 Plus is going away? I don't think they'd get rid of all the larger plus phones with a physical (somewhat) home button.
I am guessing pictures and 4K videos will take a lot of space. It should fill fast.
That model is reportedly discontinued.
I assume they had the courage to take out the home button - to conclude that it didn’t have any remaining functionality then...
