Because the physical size of the iPhone x is smaller than the iPhone

The length is approx half an inch shorter and approx. quarter of an
inch narrower but the thickness is more
This is going by the feel of the case I’ve just received and
measured against my 7+

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.

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
