Seems like Apple is planning to introduce bigger size iPhones in 2018. I got an Iphone X and find it little too big and heavy. I would like a smaller OLED Iphone with outside dimensions smaller than Iphone 8. I believe that Apple will make one eventually but would like not to wait 3 years.
 
Personally, right now I do so much on my phone, I wouldn’t want any smaller than the 6/6S/7/8 form factor. The X is just slightly larger, so no issues with it. But not sure I’d want to go back to smaller.

Also wouldn’t want any bigger, but that’s just me. Had a 6+ when they first came out. Went back to the smaller form factor when the 6S came out.
 
For my hands the current X is just about perfect. I have a 7 for work,which feels too small. I traded my personal 7 Plus for the X.
 
Not going to happen.

The demand for small phones is waning. The demand for Plus sizes phones is increasing every year.
 
X is the perfect size for me.. I never liked the size of plus models but, the premium features they offer appealed to me so this is the perfect compromise..
 
Well sooner or later OLED prices would drop enough for Apple to put it in a value model. So maybe SE iteration in 2019 or 2020?

I don't believe the iPhone SE will ever see an OLED panel, because it was always priced cheaper to begin with intentionally as an affordable iPhone. Adding an OLED display will only increase the cost. If Apple does update the iPhone SE, it will be one of the only future iPhones that will retain an LCD panel.
 
I don't think the X is a Phablet, but also think anything smaller than the X is too small. So both poll options don't make sense to me.

If the second option referred to the Plus sized models then the Phablet reference would apply.
 
My eyes say “current X to bigger screen, oh sure, why not?!”
My thumb muscles say “ou-ou-ouch! 1/4 inch less wide, puh-leez!”
I fear “the ‘eyes’ will have it” in the marketplace, but I don’t plan to go plus again.
