Arlene, Largely I went with the 7 Plus because of cost; the iPhone X is around $1,000 for the base model. However, there in general were not any real big feature draws for me, the new animations were not appealing, and seemed more like a waste and fluff to me; the wireless charging sounded nice, but the fact that Apple did not include a wireless charger in the box with the X was a big downer; and, the storage. iPhone X comes in 64 and 256 gig sizes. I have a 128 gig phone, and I wanted to hang onto that storage size for a bit longer. 128 is more than enough for me, and 256 seemed like it would be too much. In short, I couldn't justify the upgrade to the X. When I got the 7 Plus, the big advantage for me personally was that my wife and I switched US carriers from T-Mobile to AT&T. We were not satisfied with our T-Mobile services, especially last summer, and were more than ready to switch. AT&T may cost more, but you get what you pay for. One other minor reason for the 7 Plus is it still has the touch ID sensor. Touch ID strikes me as being lots more reliable than Face ID, from what I've heard from others. Yes, I know the 8 and 8 Plus have Touch ID, but see my comments earlier on the wireless charging issue. Granted, Apple can do what they want and charge what they want, but not including a wireless charger with the phone is like not including a wired charger with the phone; if they did that and charged people for the accessories then there would be lots of unhappy and angry customers.
