I love the 8 Plus. I think it feels great in the hand, looks sharp with the black bezels, and is so powerful. I chose it over the X last year and don’t regret the decision for a second. But now with the Max, it’s like the Plus on overdrive. I can’t wait for next Friday to open that box and marvel at the massive edge to edge OLED screen. It’s going to be great!
 
It was so obvious Apple had the “max” larger “X” planned for at least 2 years.

Typical Apple not to offer us the X and the “Max” in 2017 to save the “max” for 2018 as the “new phone”

Gotta love Apple. They know how to make money off people. I would have purchased the bigger X if they had it last year.

8+ user. Love it. Passed on the X as it was too small. Said when they make the X+ I am all-in. My issue now is price. I know.. in the AUP it’s only $15/month more than my 8+ but I am struggling with a $1500+ phone after tax and AC+. That’s a lot of cash..

I live on my phone.. use it too much probably. Social Media, some work, calendar/org for family/work. I do 90% of my photo editing in LR on my 8+ (another reason the X wasn’t an option.. not much ‘room’.)

Even with all that.. I am not past the barrier.. for me.

If price isn’t an issue it’s a no-brainer. Better screen, better camera, processor, better size as I alway wished the 8+ was just a TAAAD less wide.

Not sure I have helped.. but sharing my $0.02.
