Yeah I’m not sure why anyone wants a larger phone with smaller screen..

Not sure why someone would pay $200 more for a phone with less features.

Bigger screen, smaller phone more comfortable in hands, Face ID, better display, better front camera, and just a hell of lot better looking phone imo.

Well worth the $200 to me. Different strokes I reckon

Everyone has made a big deal out of the faceid bezel at the top but what's that black floating bar at the bottom? Just a horizontal scroll bar or something else?

The thing that bothers me the most is that there’s no option to have the battery percentage showing all the time. You have to pull down the control center. Really dumb; they need to replace the other battery indicator with the percentage.

It really is no big deal at all. The screen is crazy nice.

Yeah it's hella better than the 7+

One thing want to mention. If you use Itunes and backup with enryption on to do the restore it saves all your passwords for things like email. I use Outlook with 4 emails accounts and did not have to re-add passwords.

What about bluetooth or other notifications? They just simply don't get shown?

I think its the Home button indicator bar. You swipe up at it to go Home.

Does it go away? Not liking how it appears to be striking out the text.

they should have just had the small forehead extend all the way across. jamming notifications into the left and right side is a pretty poor design.

And next time actually put forward facing speakers.

The more I stare at those comparisons the more I'm leaning towards the iPhone 8+. I'm ok with a big phone. 200$ cheaper. Easier to obtain. Has a home button.
The X looks good though. If it were easier to obtain, maybe I'd go for that one.

ETA: Any difference in the speaker quality of speakerphone on a call? Speaker when up to the ear on a phone call? Also what about video playbacks sound from say the iPhone 8+ vs the iPhone X?

I think they have to if they want to keep the display corner to corner.
