This is going by the feel of the case I’ve

Hi. The 10 is an inch bigger in screen size so
I’m not sure why you think it’s smaller than the 8+?

Hi Mark,
I too went to my local Apple store earlier this
week intending to get a new phone. I looked at
both the 8 and the new 10. I didn’t consider
looking at the 8 plus since I like a phone that
takes up smaller real estate in my purse &
pocket. I still can’t believe I took the
plunge, but I ordered an IPhone 10 in silver
with 256G. I have to say I think the phone is
really slick. And even though I don’t see the
screen I do find myself using the phone for a
lot of scanning and picture taking these days.
I think the better photo ability will help at
the end of the day. I do think its crazy money
to spend on a phone. I never in my life thought
I’d spend this much on a phone, but I do love
my cell phone and its so much more than just a
phone. This one will have to last me longer
than usual because I can’t justify upgrading
this one in another 3 or 4 years. To be honest
my IPhone 6 is still working perfectly and is
in good condition. I treated myself and why not we only live once!
I will have a learning curve on some of the new
gestures once I get the phone in 3 to 4 weeks.
I also wound up coming home and placing the
order by phone because I wanted to return my 6
for cash, but to do that I would have been
without a phone during the 3 or 4 week waiting
period on the 10. So once I get the 10 I’ll
go back to the Apple store and ask for gift
cards for my phone and my husbands 6 which I
had been holding onto. I’ll buy all the
necessary accessories once I have the gift cards in-hand.
Enjoy your new 8 plus.
Eileen

Subject: It's Official: Mark is on iPhone 8 Plus (smile)
Hello All,
Well, I was in an Apple Store today just browsing around when I decided to
go ahead and make the plunge and get a new phone.
While I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with iPhone 10, believe it or not, I
do not like its smaller form factor nor, as a low vision user, its display
aspect-ratio in terms of watching videos. To me, it's just too narrow.
Again, this is just my opinion and my opinion, only.
As for my take on Face ID? Hmm! Well, the thrill of it wore off pretty
fast on me (smile).
While I have no doubt but that Face ID is here to stay, as well it should, I
decided to go with a SIM-free, space gray, 256GB iPhone 8 Plus.
I was surprised to learn that the SIM-free models of the iPHone 8 series
launched in the US at the same time as the carrier-branded models. It used
to be that the SIM-free models were launched no sooner than two months after
the carrier-branded models.
I was told by an Apple Genius, today, that the SIM-free model of iPhone 10
is not yet available in the US.
Just as an F.Y.I., in the USA, only the SIM-free models ship with a SIM card
removal tool. I have always thought this to be a ridiculous practice of
Apple for, carrier-branded or not, one may choose to remove the SIM card at
some point in the future. Besides, for the amount of money one pays for
iPhone, I think Apple should include the SIM card removal tool, along with a
three-course meal, for that matter. (smile)
I also purchased Apple Care Plus along with my prerequisite screen
protector.
I was delighted to discover that the 8 plus fits in the same case as my 6
plus so no added expense, there.
I updated my Windows iTunes 12.6 to 12.6.3 and it's running beautifully.
As I did not update my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 11.x, I will make a full backup
to iTunes and restore to the new phone later this weekend.
Okay, I know that's more information than you wanted but, what can I say?
I'm feeling chatty (smile).
Until Next Time,
Mark
