I'll skip this year's iPhone unless it has 120hz refresh rate. I literally have everything I need in my iPhone X. Anyone else skipping also?
Got a tip for us?

I have no desire to upgrade myself. The 10 does everything I need and want it to do. The whole video thing doesn’t bother me one bit like it does with others. Watched Netflix for almost 3 hours on it yesterday and had no issue... LOVED how little it drained the battery. I’m in no mood to fork over another grand for another phone.
My Iphone X is doing so well I probably will skip the next two releases. My apologies to the Apple shareholders out there.
It's time for me to upgrade as I'm still on my four year old 6+ as my biggest problem is space so it's finally time to put it to pasture. I'm sure this year's line up will seem like light years ahead of my ancient model (in modern terms that is...).
Anyone who bought last year's model has to be nuts to go with another new one this year...

Well... people want the plus size model. I don’t blame them for that. Everyone has different needs. Perfectly understandable.
I’m skipping this year. I have the X and love it, although I have been paying attention to the X+ rumors. I wouldn’t mind having the X+, but I’ll purchase it next year in September.
if they had the X+ size last year, i would've bought that and not upgraded. It's strictly the larger screen that's driving me decision to upgrade. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
There comes a time when upgrading a phone every year get's to be as routine and common as changing your underwear. Yea you put on a fresh pair that might be newer, but they pretty much do the same thing you last pair did.
Phone updates are becoming so incremental and boring it makes me think is it really worth upgrading because a phone might have a few more PPI, or a different color? I understand with every new phone the camera might be a bit better, the screen might be a bit crisper, the phone might be slightly faster, but as I see it now the current crop of phones are pretty good as they are. I'm waiting for something new and DIFFERENT.

Probably unless there’s really significant increments in the 5.8” over the 2017 X. Don't want to go down the “Plus” size route again I don’t think, case of “been there done that”.
You don't have to upgrade every year. There's no need to apologise or indeed tell us all lol.
I’m skipping this year. My 6s is still running strong and there’s absolutely no need for me to upgrade. 
I’d even guess that for most people NOT buying a brand new flagship phone every year is the norm.
That's okay. I am skipping buying new iPhones and instead bought some Apple stock. I will keep my 8+ for the next year. Maybe take a look at whats out there or see what prices are for the x at that point.

I am confused should I be changing my underwear less often?
Define "nuts". I just sold my X for less than I wanted, but it works out to a buck a day ($1000-$650). For the missing $350, I get a another year of Apple Care, assume the XS is $1,000. I've seen rumors it may be $899 which would be even better. Ride the X another year and the resale value may be south of $500.
On the other hand, food, clothing, shelter and other bare necessities of life have to come first before blowing 1K on Apple's latest.
I don’t see it being that low after two years because it has the bad*** A11 in it. It’ll have a longer life of support. Apple has been put on the spot for OS bugs all over the place with iOS 11 so I expect Apple to be focusing on performance from this point on. iOS 12 is a big step up from iOS 11, especially with older devices.
I’d like to return to a Plus sized iPhone and I’d also like an increase in storage to 512GB (photos, podcasts, music, apps)....so tempted if the plus size has that storage option. I’m also tempted by the new iPad Pros, so waiting to see those as well. I think that I will pick one or the other to upgrade though, not both.
