Just wondering how having an extra 1/2" of screen at the top and bottom benefit the user?

Do you think it's better?

Was there any problems with having a face that wasn't a full screen?

Having it means that everyone will know that I'm rich and cool. And I will become very popular. And I will go around with my posse and we'll make fun of anyone who has the garbage iPhone 8.

And the social media you use is not about that ?

Why have a touch screen at all? Why not have a dumb phone? Who's going to buy a cell phone for $400? Oh sorry thought I was in 2007 again.

Having a larger than iPhone 8 Plus screen in a nearly iPhone 8 size is very appealing to me.

If it's not for you, then Apple sells 8 different iPhones in multiple configurations. Personally, I'm sticking with my 6S until the X-2.

But it's not really like the 8 Plus screen size. The big benefit of the Plus is that it's wider and therefore it will feel larger than the X, which is almost as narrow as the regular iPhone 7/8. The X will however give you more screen vertically.
