My thoughts after a while of ownership:

1) Fast, fluid, notably more so than my 7 Plus. That said, after updating from 11.2 (came stock w/ that), I noticed stutters in the UI - this was RIGHT after updating and it did not occur before.

2) Fantastic speakers

3) Fantastic camera

4) Good, but not great battery life. It'll last me through a workday, but I have to charge before leaving the house again at night.

5) Notch has not been that bothersome, but a few of my apps have not been updated

6) Fantastic display

7) FaceID is good, but it fails much more often than I'd like. I think I still have some getting used to to do. When it works, it's great.

8) Gestures are fantastic

Could you go back to 7plus?
