I too am returning mine. I know I was aware of the aspect ratio weirdness ahead of time and I wanted to really like this phone but I just don’t. The only thing that pulled me away from the plus models was the oled and after 2 full days of use I just don’t see it as “that” much better. The Face ID works great for me and the gestures I had down in the first 30 minutes. No complaints there. For me it’s 100% the weird aspect ratio. As others have said watching videos on the plus is just a much better experience and it shouldn’t be considering this is oled. Filling the screen is neat but I hate cropped video. The notch is also not an issue for me, It disappeared pretty fast but yeah I’ll go get an 8 plus and hope for a x plus next year.

We need to stop bashing people because they are returning their phones. This phone isn’t for everyone. If they don’t like it and have complaints, then let them have their reservations, or try to help them fix the issue (if it’s even fixable).

Thank you sir for your calm & rational post!
 
The deed is done. X was returned for the 8+. Oddly enough they've said they had a few come back already. Hopefully next year's will be undeniable!
 
I will not return mine. I ALREADY RETURNED IT!!!!! Back to my 7 Plus and could not be happier. Bring the X Plus and I will get it.

So what if the OP only had 1 day experience with it? It's not much different than it's predecessors. Same UI. Only thing physically different is the display, dimensions and an unproven Face ID. The X is not leaps and bounds better than the 7 or 8. It's the same 'ol same 'ol in a different body.

I’m returning mine. I feel cheated. The people I know who have Android have the same features, fast charging comes right in the box and the X is like $200 more. The Pixel 2 is just as good as a device in my opinion.

Anyone who's returned to ATT was their a restocking fee? Was it $35 I saw?
 
Anyone here returning it back to Tmobile online? I've waited well over a month to be refunded in the past on a returned phone.

I was told it would be $45 when I bought my Note 8 and Gear 3 at AT&T... each. But I love them so never had to take them up on it.
 
Yea I am but mostly because it really is an awesome phone. I have the matte black 7 plus and couldn’t bring myself to sell it, I’ll have it as a back up.

Yea matte black looks like the slate iPhone 5. Something you’d regret offloading over time :D

Not too shabby to have a backup device either

My SE came in handy for 2 days when I shatteeed my 7+ and before getting it repaired

Don’t know for some reason I like the 7 in the hand. Could there have been a way for Apple to take the 7 and make it edge to edge?
 
I am abroad at the moment but will defintely be picking up the 8+ when I get home to replace the X in day to day usage. If only Apple Watch was usable on Android I'd be taking the opportunity to try out something different for a year but as it is, have to stick with an iPhone
