How about people who don't want a giant phone?
- mcintyre1994 9y agoiPhone 8? All those points apply (I think?) and you save even more money over the X. Or the SE, if you want to go smaller but the internals there are a bit older now.
- listic 9y agoI meant that it is said as if the iPhone X is the best phone, if you are willing to pay for it. But some people are only willing to deal with non-Plus sized phone, at most.
- glhaynes 9y agoThe X is very close in size to the non-Plus phones. (As someone who doesn't mind big phones, I'm really hoping for an X Plus next year.)
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 9y agoThe main distinction is the dual camera on the Plus, which let's you do the portrait modes they demonstrated. The other difference is battery life. As someone that went from 7 to 7 Plus, it is a considerable improvement. Portrait mode really is amazing, too, it would be hard to go back to a normal sized iPhone now. The main advantage of the X, that I see, other than OLED screen, is that you get a display closer to the Plus in a much more reasonable form factor. For some, the Plus is still too large.
- phinnaeus 9y agoFor some, the non-plus is still too large.
- miguelrochefort 9y agoThe iPhone 8 is roughly the same size as the iPhone X.
- darrenkopp 9y agoThe iPhone 8 Plus is roughly the same size as the X, not the iPhone 8.
- bbatsell 9y agoNo. The iPhone 8 Plus screen size is roughly comparable to the iPhone X, but since the bezels are gone, the iPhone X is significantly smaller in physical size.

- darrenkopp 9y agoah, my mistake, i was just looking at the numbers on apple's comparison tool. thanks for the correction.
- basseq 9y agoReal answer: the X (5.65" x 2.79") is a little bigger than the 8 (5.45" x 2.65"), but smaller than the 8 Plus (6.24" x 3.07").

- a_c_s 9y agoNope: the body of the iPhone 8 & iPhone X are almost the same size. https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-iphone-8-size-comparison/ https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-iphone-8-size-comparison/
