No i have a suspicion that apple may release a new phone each year. Its just a hunch
haha
But X (not X Plus) getting some form of a redesign after a year? That wouldn't miff you at all, hypothetically?
Again that part is unrelated to poll but for discussion purposes
tho by all means we can discuss X Plus speculation as well
If the plus size is going yo be $1500 then no, Im not going to be tempted by the X. But if they drop the price of the regular size X and the plus will cost $1000. Then ill definitely get it.
No. If I want a new phone next year, I will get one.
Technology does not rest while I have my new phone.

No- I want the X for bigger screen size than my 6S - the plus models are too big for me (I’m a 44 year old woman with child sized hands). A X+ will be too big for me as well as plus versions are now.
No as I’m on an annual upgrade so will get the plus version next year
I won't be anymore disappointed in a new phone than I'd be in a new intel chip next year, new car model, etc.. It's too be expected.
No, I'm fully expecting a plus X next year. I would actually be greatly disappointed if they didn't release a plus sized X. It's already in my plan to upgrade!
Nope
I'm seeing that the X is mostly for non-plus people, at least that's these threads show. Almost everyone returning it or complaining, wants plus size.
Having said that, a plus size X would be intriguing

nope - i think this size is perfect for me.
But i've also known since the development tools were available that this is a taller 4.7" device in essence. I knew what I was getting and am very pleased with it.

My pocket feels so liberated, compared to the Plus
My wallet, on the other hand. Digitally just got lighter. In a sense, liberated. In another, PUNISHED
haha
honestly I paid $879 for 128GB 7+ last year, and that sting hurt a little more. same form, and forking over half after selling my 6s plus (my last contract, subsidy phone)

There were only ever three reasons I considered a Plus-sized iPhone: bigger screen, better cameras, and better battery life compared to the standard-size iPhone.
The iPhone X ticks all of those boxes for me without also being gigantic and unwieldy. It's the best of both worlds for my usage.

Are they? I dunno if that’s true
Bought mine outright pretty sure lots of international people have forking over unlocked upfront engrained in their heads too. Since the subsidy thing was more of a North American thing (but not exclusive to)
Also people who Trade every year get over half back by a bit to fork over for the Next
It’s effectively like IUP except no monthly payments and flexibility to be your own IUP / planner and do it without worrying f about another bill
But I understand finances are different for peope and their approach too
No. Because one of the reasons I switched to the X is that I can have a good resolution, battery, screen size etc in practically the footprint of a 4.7” iPhone. Going to X plus (or whatever it’s going to be called) will be defeating that purpose. Some of my smaller purses couldn’t fit my 7 Plus in a case which sucked if I wanted to carry my phone in them I had to take it out of its case and still then it barely fit. Just an example of everyday inconveniences I faced (#firstworldproblems much lol) refusing to compromise what Plus offered over regular ones lol

I wouldn’t say it defeats the purpose. The current X, like the 5 before it, is optimized for portrait orientation. A Plus size screen would be necessary for a more landscape optimized phone. Given that photography is probably the most popular feature on these devices a bigger Plus screen in a smaller footprint makes sense just as the current standard size X makes sense in comparison the 8.
Defeats the purpose as in for me personally. I personally hated the size of my plus phone for various inconveniences I faced carrying it, I just never downsized because I wanted to get all the goodies like battery life, resolution, camera, etc. X offered me a solution so I happily took it... and then going back to similar sized phone (albeit way bigger screen) next year would be... I don’t know how to exactly put this... ironic? Either way I’m probably not going to unless the plus exclusive features are so great I am tempted back...
i'll feel hosed if they make X+ with features that aren't on the X (or next generation of X)..
like, trueDepth cameras on the back but only on the Plus version.. i don't like how they did that (well, similar) with previous regular vs plus models.

I’d say that’s a real possibility since they’ll have more internal real estate (and cost associated with it to charge customers) to work with
No. The plus-sized phones are just too big to use comfortably with one hand.
