After checking comparing everything on Apple's website I think I'm going to order an 8 Plus to replace my 7 Plus. Honestly kinda underwhelmed with the iPhone X especially if we can't preorder for over another month.

The X is a special edition to celebrate that the first iPhone was rolled out 10 years ago.

No idea why there's no 7s.

I need want to replace a 5s. I'm leaning towards the 8. I was hoping it would accommodate wireless charging and it does. I'm not interested in the facial recognition in X.

Yep. Here's the whole lineup:

I think I'll go with the 8. The X looks too big.

The X using IR to scan all of the faces seems a bit much to me.

The X is only slightly bigger than the 8. It's basically the same size.

Height: 5.65 vs. 5.45
Width: 2.79 vs. 2.65
Depth: 0.30 vs. 0.29

Meh. Maybe if my SE ever craps out, but I have much better things to do with $1000.

$1,149 for the 256gb version of the iPhone X. Yikes!

It's close, but the extra quarter inch on top of a phone that is already pushing my limit for height might be too much.

I have a 7 Plus. The advantage I see in upgrading to the iPhone X is getting its bigger screen in a phone that is smaller than my 7 Plus.

How in the heck do you get your batteries to last? By the end of two years, mine are failing fast.

According to CNET, both the X and the 8 still use the Lightning connector, rather than USB-C. OK by me.

I use my 6S for two factor auth. I do not want to pick it up and wait for a facial recognition auth for my app to work. Fingerprint is much easier.

Wireless charging seems like such a gimmick to me. I still need a charging pad plugged into a wall that is more or less stationary. I have never found new it hard to plug my phone in.

There are a fair number of new vehicles that have charging pads built into the top of the center console. That might be more significant to me than at home.
