    The X screen size is 5.8 inches vs 5.5 inches with the 8plus.

    That's diagonal/across. It is a (much) smaller phone, and the screen is nowhere near as wide as the Plus phones, but it's taller. I know because I have both here...

    It's lighter, and the screen is better, but I'm still not so sure I'll keep it... Might just go for an 8 Plus, until there's an X Plus

    Yeah seems to be happening a lot, saw a few of those incidents up on Instagram today... Glad I purchased a (thin, transparent) case to go with mine, as I'm pretty clumsy...

    Re: iPhone X

    they all are about the same to me. i have a 6S and don't feel the need to upgrade. the X is bigger and heavier, which i don't need. and a better camera? yawn. i like my headphone jack and touch activation.

    my only issue with 6S is i should have gotten more memory - as iOS is such a huge hog now. i'd probably buy an 8 or 7 on the cheap actually.

    Re: iPhone X

    The X is marginally bigger than the 6S. 5.65 x 2.79 for the X and 5.44 x 2.64 for the 6S.
    I think the X makes a lot more sense for regular 6/7/8 users, not Plus users like me.
    And yeah, get the biggest capacity model, always.
