So, I have a iPhone 6s Plus (128Gb) model currently which has just this month come to the end of it's contract with EE in the UK.

My former contract price was £40 per month for 5gb data (which I use half of it that to be honest).

I also have around 85Gb spare on the phone continuously.

The question is, should I simply renew on a SIM only contract for around £18 per month and keep my existing phone or should I look at getting the 7 Plus / 8 Plus in a smaller capacity with a lower data package?

I personally have doubts over the iPhone X, such as FaceID, lack of home button, the notch looking a little garish and not to mention the nice price tag :)

Is there a noticeable increase in speed etc between what I have and what has been released in the last two years as the phone I have works perfectly for me?

Thoughts welcome from owners of the last two years models please....
 
I went from a regular 6s to a 7+ so the camera was a big improvement (added wide angle) and battery life greater. Touch ID worked better - almost too fast. I increased my storage from 128 to 256 which I desperately needed as I was maxed out on the 6s.

Otherwise I can't really remember!

I went 6S to 7plus, but now the 8 is out I’d be looking it that or staying with the 6S another year. I wanted the bigger phone and better camera.

I’m not sure the extra cost of a 1 generation jump is worth it for you (as you’ve already the plus size) - if you were to pay for the 7plus a little more would get you to the 8plus.

To say it another way, if your going to spend loads getting a new phone, do it properly and get the 8 plus and 64GB sounds an option for you too.
