Are you keeping, or returning/exchanging your X?

I know there are threads on this, but it would be nice to have a poll to see the numbers.
 
Keeping

Returned the 2 dud screen ones I was either gonna resell or give to parents (they didn’t want them so I cracked them open)

I’m picky tho

Mine was easily the best!

Really happy with the X
 
Definitely keeping my iPhone X! I think the face ID works amazingly well. The Touch ID on my previous iPhone 6 plus would fail more than the face ID on the X.
 
Still undecided on keeping it or returning it. There are things i love about it and things that i just cant stand....
 
Purchased mine on Nov 17th. Started using it on the 19th. I will be returning on the 22nd.

I came from a 6+. I like the larger, more "natural" aspect ratio of my 6+. For me, the improvements in the X doesn't justify the $1250 I paid after taxes. I'll wait for a plus version of the X.
 
Never going to return or going back to another phone after using my X. Every thing works flawlessly. I actually looking forward to next year 6.5 version.
 
Keeping it, but wish it was a little smaller in all directions and lighter.
Keeping mine too, and I hear ya'. It is definitely right on the edge of "big enough" for me. I'd be more than happy with something mid-way between the SE and the 8 in terms of size. As much as I like using the large screen, I don't "need" it, and find the trend towards carrying tablets around in pockets rather odd. Size matters, and that doesn't always mean bigger is better. The SE was a far better "mobile phone", no doubt about it (IMO of course, have to say this otherwise it'll be taken as fact!)

Came from a 7 Plus. Loving the X and will be keeping it for sure. Already sold my 7 Plus to a colleague and won't be looking back.
 
Came from the SE, and its been a great experience, not regrets, great quality. I'm very happy with the purchase - I better be given the high price ;)

love my X!
not crazy about ios 11.
FaceID works so much better for me than TouchID—I have problem with fingerprint reader at my fitness center also.
 
I bought 3.

One for myself, my wife, and my mom.

We are keeping all 3.

It’s the most fun I’ve had using an iPhone since the first time I picked one up.


On another note, we should have a poll asking what percentage of people actually owned an iPhone X who voted they were returning iPhone X...

I am very happy with mine. It's not perfect but no phone will ever be perfect.
Haven't missed my 7+ one bit. Love the size, screen, and overall smoothness of the phone.
 
I came from the 7 plus and it took me a week or so to get used to the smaller screen. I love it now though and definitely won’t be going back.

Will I get a plus sized version if it’s available next year? Probably!
 
I made the jump from the iphone SE, and I am without question keeping it. Last year I tried out the 7 and 7+, but ended up back at the SE. This year with the X, I knew I was not going to be able to go back to anything else.
