One advantage of the iPhone 8+ over the iPhone X is that the display is wider, and that makes it easier to read larger accessibility fonts. My parents are keeping the plus size because of that.

That's something I noticed too. I don't like the new aspect ratio of the X, but I want rid of the home button so much I'll deal with it.

One advantage of the iPhone 8 over the iPhone X is that it's not a monstrous size. Even though the iPhone X is only slightly larger than the iPhone 7, the screen is still ridiculously larger, particularly since they got rid of the feature where it'll shrink the screen. I don't know why the market has decided that two hand smartphone usage is king, but it makes me sad. As someone who is frequently forced to use my device one handed and on the move its getting harder and harder to deal with.

  I know. I wish they would update the iPhone SE (my current phone). As it is, looks like I'm not upgrading anytime soon.

    I got sort of used to the size of the 7. After a year I'm still at the point where it annoys me at times but otherwise is fine. A hair smaller in height would be perfect for my needs. I was intrigued by the X in that I was willing to go a hair higher in height for a much larger screen until I realized they got rid of the small-scaling feature I still can't think of the name of. Considering I already use that all the time on my 7 and the screen is about to get much larger, it'd be necessary for me to get by.

  Having a flip phone I get a kick out of it how dorky people look using their gadgets, the same way the one button mouse made me laugh when I had an actual one. More of all that, please. As long as it's more than a piece of cloth people chew on while staring off into the distance it's still way too useful and all the important people know it.

  I'm getting the X, not cause I love throwing money around, but because I hate the wide width +'s. I'm coming off a 6+ so needless to say 3 years of no one hand texting has made me want to stab my own eyes out. I hate two hand texting.
