iPhone 8/Plus Any iPhone 8 Plus owners now feel regret not getting the x?

Oh my god, yes, every press of TouchID fills my dark heart with joy!!! Bwahahaha!
No of course not, I was just having a little fun
I _always_ have fun, and if you'd read back a post of mine, you'd get my serious (and professional) perspective on the 8 and X It's almost 3 years old... which means it's out of style right?
BTW, wasn't aware of any car thread.
Very nice! No, you'd be completely wrong if you're assuming that about me - I'm one of the resident "car guys", a big fan of domestic muscle, both modern and classic, as well as all sorts of other vehicles, I've tuned, raced, built, owned some very interesting rides
In fact, my current non-family car is a '16 Mustang GT Perf Package convertible, undergoing continuous modifications.re: The Car Thread, I started it 3 years ago:

There's also a Cars Photo thread, but people just tend to post and move on, in TCT, it's more of an ongoing discussion, especially as some of modify, build, etc.
Reading all these threads and posts about the iPhone X anxiety further solidifies my decision to go with the 8 Plus.
Nah, the 8 Plus is better in several ways, and the ways in which the X is "better" do not appeal to me in the slightest.
No regrets. Had the X been released when the 8+ was released I would have gone with the X. Makes me sound impatient, but it is really about trying to stay in line with my AT&T Next new every year cycle. So next year (which will be here faster than you think) I will most likely get whatever the flagship is. As some have said the things that are considered improvements don't mean that much to me. The talking poopy I would use like twice and then forget about it, much like live photo. Better selfie camera? Do you folks think that is going to really make you look any less ugly than you already are? OLED screen, I'm sure it's nice, but for me I doubt I would really notice it that much. Bigger screen, well that is a whole slew of threads already isn't it? Have fun with the X folks, hope it is all you have dreamed of, or in some cases lost sleep over.

All good!
Thanks for the link too! I'll check out those threads!
Nope, I got the 8+ and I love the screen size coming from an iPhone 6 so I’m hoping next year they release a + version of the X and I’m really not a fan of the notch.
What I actually need is a nap... 62 hours in 4 days and I'm working late tonight and tomorrow as well.
Living the dream... thank god it's OT. No way I do this in a salaried position.
I have the 8+ and have no regrets. Since the internals are basically the same, I don't feel that it's a "downgrade" for me vs. the X. I took a look at the X over the weekend and I really liked the form factor, but Animojis, FaceID and the selfie camera weren't "must haves" for me.
Bottom line, whatever model works for you and you're happy with it, makes it the best iPhone for you. They're both great phones in different form factors.

No regrets here at all. I watch quite a bit of video in landscape mode and the X is a step back in landscape mode.
That sounds a good philosophy! No need to justify decision to buy 8 Plus, X or stay with what you have got. It's what works for you personally. We all have slightly different uses and priorities.
I have an X on order (still 2 weeks away) and using my 7 Plus over the weekend taking photos, very nearly cancelled the order - I just love my Jet Black 7 Plus. I am going to drop into my local Apple store this evening to get some 'hands-on' the X myself to see if I think it is right for me before making a decision.
Exactly how I feel. I've had the 7 and 8 plus now and have grown fond of the plus features. But mostly is that it's a first of it's kind in many places for apple. I have no problem waiting till next year where all apps will have been updated and tested running new UI/UX ideas. Maybe FaceID will or maybe it won't get better next year. The monthly cost was less than I expected honestly and that was another reason for skipping it. So I sometimes think that maybe I should've gotten it. But then I remember all the things I really like with the plus so it's not really that big of deal.
The biggest draw really to have it that it is new and exiting.
Nope, still happy with my 8 Plus. Besides, I get laid without having to have the latest and greatest as a status symbol
Lie. We all know you need an X for that
I regret not getting the Plus earlier and waiting on the X. Now I’m behind on my 12 IUP payments for next years IUP.
I’ll make you feel better. The Plus has more useable screen, better battery life, is better to type with 2 hands, is much better for watching video, uses Touch ID which is tried and true, uses the same super fast processor and nearly the same camera and will save you about $300.
Anyone who got an 8 Plus and not the X should regret it. Got a far inferior Phone with a 3 year design.
Got the X and returned it for the 8 plus no regrets at all. Wish I would have never got the X - way too small - I’m an adult so went back to an adult size phone
Ask me the screen is bigger on the plus more content to read with better format. They make an X plus next year I’m in.

Any X owners who had the 8, then the plus, then went back to the 7+, then spent a long weekend in New Mexico, then got the X, then went back to the 8+, then regretted that time they tripped their little sister on the playground, then went Android, then gave up phones, then got the X, the 8, and the 8+ and talked on all 3 at once?
Any end to the variations on the exact same conversations day after day?

I was not impressed with the X at launch. I tried one out the other day and was very impressed. I have a little bit of remorse, but I am not paying $1000+ for a phone.
Far inferior?
Processor = same
RAM = same
storage = same
You got a Face ID that isn't as fast as my Touch ID and a gimmick known as animojis that you probably use as much as I do.
But yeah, the 8 Plus is far inferior.

Better camera, front and back
Better screen
Better design.
Try again with a outdated design Apple should have given up. The 8 plus was just Apple trying to make a few more bucks.
