I changed from the 7+ to X. I have not been happy with the X because of the smaller width. I plan to buy a wider phone. My eyes are not able to discern the difference in OLED and other iPhone screens, so I might actually "downgrade" from a X series to the 8 series for a wider width. I make many mistakes while using Swipe text input in the X.
Got a tip for us?

I bought an X and only recently sold it and went back to an 8+ - barely notice a screen quality difference but really didn’t like Face ID and the tall narrow screen.
Go for an 8 or 8+, will be cheaper now and still has great features.
I have the iPhone X and I want the following:
5G support
Triple rear camera with the idea of improved noise
Better battery life
USB C
eSim
MicroLED display so no more burn in risks

The amount of duplicated threads right now is astonishing. I think the majority will make their decision after the Keynote, which is usually what is normal.
Depends on the trade in value they offer me for my X. I cracked the back and so now its not waterproof. 500$ to fix? Yeah no... Ill wait and upgrade to the Xs tyvm.
Upgrading my iPad this year. My X isn’t even a year old lol.
Next year I will buy the bigger one.

I am torn and will be holding out until the keynote. I love my X , but would like a bigger phone. I am worried the Max model will be too big and heavy, and I was a previous plus owner.
My other concern is price. If they price the new Max model over the price for my X 256gb, I think I’m out. I love my phone and realize it is something that is used daily, is my camera, my gps, everything. But phone prices are getting out of hand IMO.

512 is huge, i wonder if you really need that much storage, i guess it depends on the individual.
Rick P. took a solid $500+ hit on the X for using it for 8 months lol
Upgrading for the larger screen size and battery for sure. X battery is dead by 3pm for me, so need to larger battery of the plus.
I have been dead set on the new X Plus but after seeing mock-ups and the case for it, I have changed my mind and will stick to my X for a while to see what everyone thinks about the X Plus first. The X and it's screen size has been perfect for me.
Last year I was convinced I'd go back to Plus size at the first opportunity, but I've come around to a smaller phone in the meantime. Suits me better, I never watch video (bar the odd clip) on it, and I've deliberately been using my phone less anyway, a habit that goes back to pre X days. Battery life was my fear last year coming from the Plus to X, but I aways have 40% or so left by the evening these days.
The one thing I'll be envious of though is better Face ID, if it happens. Not in general usage, works better than fine for that, but it is a pain when I'm waking up horizontal and it barely recognises me. Seems to have improved at that lately though, works most of the time.
I'm not upgrading for just better Face ID though. There may be an as yet undisclosed improvement that tempts me, but I doubt it, it's been diminishing returns on phones across the board for years now anyway.
I will be upgrading my SS Series 2 Watch though, ooooh yes.
.....and a maxed out new iPad Pro, whenever that is coming.
So Apple will still see a chunk of my wallet, ha.

I am betting not unless you are talking iPad Pro preorder or watch preorder.
Not saying I will not end up getting it, just maybe later.
If the battery on your X is dead at 3, the X-Plus would still not last you the whole day. Maybe till 4.
I'm skipping iPhone upgrade without hesitation this year. Currently on an iPhone 8 and don't plan to upgrade until Pro Motion/Face ID 2, and/or the LCD model of 2019 (if it still exists) gets a resolution bump.
Cameras haven't gotten much better in ages, processors are all fairly good, random access memory is mostly a non-issue, OLED is less preferred to me than LCD, iPhone X is approaching ripoff pricing. Those are my reasons.

I can get by with 256, but it’s always close to full and 512 is going to be awesome for me. I load my iPhone up with video podcasts and photos. I have 512 in my iPad Pro and it’s close to full. With that amount of storage on my iPhone, I’ll be able to store more music offline and add some TV shows and movies as well. Plus, I won’t be so hesitant to record my video in 4K with all of that space.
