I really don't see the extra $300 justification between this and the regular iPhone 8. A slightly better screen and better camera with otherwise similar specs. Edge to edge and face scanning emojis are neat, but I just can't justify that kind of spend for it.
That, and I'm not all that jazzed about Face ID. Seems less secure than touch.

- Karunamon 9y agoNot appreciably more than the 7+ https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/06/iphone-8-compared-to-iphone-7-plus/ https://9to5mac.com/2017/09/06/iphone-8-compared-to-iphone-7... More PPI sure, but I think we reached the point of diminishing returns a while ago. (Ignore the headline - the opening image is an X set next to a 7+)
- jamesrcole 9y agoI was responding to someone comparing it to the standard model, not the plus models. See the text I quoted, and see their original comment.
- alkonaut 9y agoI'd have to see the oled next to the current screen to judge it. That said: I go through at least a screen repair, maybe two, for a phone. If I calculate the price of phone + 1 extra screen, it's probably looks even worse for the X.
