Does anyone know if the iPhone Xs Max or Plus will be the same size physically as the iPhone 6/7/8 Plus? I'm not sure if I should get the smaller version or bigger one.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone X can't decide on whether to get the smaller or bigger iPhone?

My Suggestion would be maybe wait until the Apple stores actually receive the 2018 iPhone X models, and then handle them in store to see what you think fits best for your preference.
There's been plenty of mockups and renders based on rumors showing its ever so slightly smaller than the plus models (almost imperceptibly smaller). So if i were you, assume that the XS Plus will be the same size as a plus phone.
This is definitely a dilemma, but at least based on the rumors, now the regular size will get the same set of features (RAM size and dual camera). It is annoying on the 7 and 8 where the non-plus phones don't feel like a real flagship (less RAM, no dual camera).
Personally, I'm after the dual SIM feature, so it would be the bigger iPhone.

I'm hoping they release dual-SIM worldwide; it's looking like it's for select regions only. Not so sure Canada will get it.
I’m also hoping dual SIM is world wide. In fact if it’s not, I probably won’t upgrade at all.
I'll still buy the XS+ but i definitely wouldn't be happy about the no dual-SIM. For the price you're paying for a premium flagship model, they should include that feature for all phones; let the consumer decide if it's useful for them or not.
I have 2 phones right now, a work phone and a personal phone. It's annoying to carry around 2 phones. Also if you travel frequently, you can have a foreign SIM card added to your phone.
Wait until the official announcement is made. Pick a size to order. Once the phone is delivered, make use of the return period to decide if that particular size model fits your needs. if it doesn't, exchange for another size iPhone.
Not a convoluted issue.

Well I spend time in two countries and at the moment carry two phones as I need to be able to receive and make calls and texts on both my UK and Spanish SIMs. A dual SIM device would save me carrying, charging, updating & syncing two phones.
(I know you can use your phone while abroad, but not for months at a time and also local calls are counted and charged as international calls. )
