If I upgrade to another Iphone this year, it's the 8 plus for sure. I am not even in to smaller devices but would even consider going for the 8 256 gb before I would buy the X. I want to give them another year to get down face id, and I am really more of a touch id fan because my phone doesn't need to look at my face to unlock. I can just unlock really quickly with my device in my pocket. Plus I can't justify the increased monthly cost. If the X had so many new features the 8 didn't maybe I could.
