The smaller screen width was a deal breaker for be. I'll wait for the next iteration which purportedly will have a larger screen.

- jrs95 9y agoI hadn't really thought about it but I suppose the current width is why I'm so comfortable typing on it coming from an iPhone 7. If I'd had the Plus, it might have felt like kind of a downgrade.
- rconti 9y agoHated every minute of my 7+, happy to have gone back to a sane size with the X. I could see how someone with insanely huge hands, or someone who needs a phone to "make a statement" wouldn't want something smaller, but for most of us, it's great.
- glhaynes 9y agosomeone with insanely huge hands, or someone who needs a phone to "make a statement" Or somebody who prefers a larger screen and finds that to outweigh the drawbacks that come from it... I know lots of people with Plusses and none have particularly large hands and, more often than wanting to "make a statement", they count it as a drawback that it appears so large.
- rconti 9y agoYes, I have friends who liked the larger phone who (say) commuted on the train and did lots of reading with it. I never found it particularly easier to read on the larger screen, but to each their own. I wasn't trying to malign the phone as just for those looking to stand out, just that I felt there weren't many other advantages -- other than, in the case of the 7, the dual camera system.
- dilap 9y agoI was worried about that coming from a plus, but it's really very close. Or just wait until next year, when they'll (probably) have an X Plus. Which will feel like a frickin' iPad.
