X+ gold, i've wanted an iphone X in a 8+ body since the X was originally announced. Now im getting the iphone i've always wanted. I won't upgrade again until there is a marked development, so probably 2 years.
I really can't decide. My 8 is my favorite phone of all time, but I'm tempted by the 6.1" IF it has wireless charging and 3D Touch. I'm also tempted by the XS to have a flagship phone again IF Face ID is improved, but I'm also intrigued by the XS+ IF Face ID Is improved and it's not comically expensive.
In other words, my mind is wide open. I would be just fine keeping my 8 long term though.

Going from X to X Plus. The X Plus is my dream phone and unlike the previous ones will keep for 2 years.
Touch choice. I went from Plus phones (6+ to 6s+ to 7+) to X because I was tired of having a huge phone to lug around and it was inconvenient, but I liked the screen size and the camera so I stuck through. Now that I've used X for quite some time, I'm starting to miss the bigger screen (bigger width was better for gaming). Maybe I'll upgrade my husband's iP7+ to the X plus this year and I get to have both 
(Performance-wise or feature-wise, I don't really see the point of upgrading my current X, so going to Xs (or whatever it will be called) is unnecessary in my opinion -- unless there's a new enticing color... I'm a sucker for looks)

3D Touch for the 6.1 LCD iPhone is *supposed*to be a software emulated feature, and wireless charging is still an unknown, but I don’t believe it will, mainly because it will have a much cheaper price point, which may be deleting that specific feature that the other top OLED models will have to reflect the cheaper price point.
If the 6.1 doesn't have a glass back as is rumored, its unlikely to have wireless charging imo
It would be kinda weird if it didn’t have the features of the phones of last year, but 3D Touch will apparently be absent or software emulated so who knows. I’ve had two non glass back phones with wireless charging, but I bet Apple don’t want to use a plastic back.
I have never used wireless charging by the way, and my current phone does not support it, so I don’t care, but I would be kinda surprised if it’s not there. On the other hand I would like to not have a glass back that can break so maybe I should hope it doesn’t have wireless charging after all?

The glass looks nice and sometimes I wireless charge but agreed
Plus it adds heft to the device 8+ is considerably heavier than 7+
I love the screen size of the X (my hand actually started cramping after a year of the 7 plus) so I think I’ll stay with the 5.8 size. I haven’t seen anything to suggest I’ll be enticed to by the XS or whatever it’s called but we’ll see. I really would love usb-c to be standard but doubt that’s a thing.
I know I’m being a bit technical with this statement, but you _can’t_ definitively say that without actually knowing for sure. However, The 6.1 LCD iPhone is still unsure if it will have wireless charging or not because of the price point. As another member alluded to, if it does not have a glass back, then it won’t be supporting Wirelsss charging. (Unless Apple chooses to use another material that would support wireless charging other than glass.)
Slightly off-topic but does anyone know in the UK how Apple Pay would be used to pre-order the new phone via the Apple Store App? Once the per-order has been placed, do you still get the option for either a home delivery or a store pick-up or does Apple Pay mean you have to stick with a home delivery?

I was tempted to upgrade to the X Plus this year as the screen would be great for media but after holding an 8 Plus in store I'm not so sure. I currently use a 6S which I can hold comfortably in one hand but the plus just seems like it would be awkward to carry round daily for how often I watch content on my phone, not to mention being a fair bit heavier.
Honestly, I'm leaning toward the 5.85". What i care about most is OIS on both cameras. It would be surprising to me if Apple removed that from the smaller OLED phone. I never understood their decision to have it only on the wide-angle lens on the 8+ considering the telephoto lens benefits from it more. Here's a wild guess, maybe the front-facing camera gets OIS on the 6.5" phone.
While I voted that I'm not going to upgrade in actuality, it will depend on the deals offered by Verizon or Apple. If something similar to what the carriers did when the 7's came out, I'll most likely upgrade to one of the X's. If not, I probably won't upgrade at all simply because the new phones bring nothing to the table that I need that I don't already have on my iPhone 7+.
I take few photos and never watch videos on the phone. It is primarily for calling, texting and playing music. And on occasion using Swing by Swing golf gps app.

If the X+ has the iPad UI, then I will definitely pull the trigger. If not, I am seriously contemplating sticking with my 8+ and using the funds for the redesigned Apple Watch that should be announced at the event.
