iPhone X Thinking of upgrading to iPhone X

[atmenterprises]

I came to the X from an iPhone 8. There were not really any negative things that I didn't expect after doing research and some lengthily play time with one in the store. There have been a few pleasant surprises though.

1. I really thought I would dislike faceID. I don't and it works better than expected. The bummer of playing with one is store is that you can't test out faceID.
2. I thought I was going to miss the home button and not like the gestures. After 3 days I now love the gestures and don't miss the home button one bit.
3. The notch does not bother me at all. Day one I noticed it every time I looked at the phone, days 2 less and day 3 on I hardly even notice it's there. I've also come to appreciate it as it's not a run of the mill looking phone.

My few gripes:

1. I wish I could have faceID unlock right to the home screen without having to swipe up
2. I wish I could close apps without having to hold before swiping them away.

The phone rocks, battery life for me has been stellar, faceID works well and I dig the gestures.

My sentiments exactly except I came from a 6S.

Understood, just know that xfinity/Comcast is the reason why we have net neutrality debates.

FWIW I have xfinity mobile and have had zero issues! Been very reliable and the cost of $45 a month for unlimited on Verizon’s network is was free me in. I don’t think I’d go back to Verizon at this point.

I am in the Chicago Suburbs.. That helps with my decision, I will be traveling this next week, but hopefully they will have a good deal like they do now when I get back. I might switch a couple phones to try it out

So you like to navigate the web on throttled speeds and giving money to a telecom that would like to burn down Net Neutrality rules? Nice!

Wanted to post an update.. I have not purchased a phone yet, but I will be staying with Verizon.. if I needed another phone with new service I would have the X by now.

Debating on trading my 6s in or selling it out right (how to tell if my 6s is unlocked I don't know). I also just bought a Series 2 watch (currently have a Series 0/Original) I did not need the speed of the 3 (but wanted better battery)

Anyway, back to the X, Still on my radar as my phone is 2.5 years old, I am good with the size of the X and plan on making a purchase decision soon, I will buy the 256 to have enough space (my 6s+ is 128 and not full)

Thanks for all the info and opinions on those who own a X currently

Do you watch a lot of video?
That is one thing to consider.
If you are OK with size of 6S Plus the 8 Plus is badass.
Either way.. if you aren’t in a rush no need to be .. the 6S Plus is still a great phone with a great camera.
