Is it Normal that ALL telco still haven’t reveal plans 2 days b4 Pre-order?
For 8/8+ also so last minute?

Errr it's not??

Screen estate wise the 8 plus is still larger.

simple maths width x height.

The diagonal measure doesn't do justice, just a marketing gimmick. If this is the holy grail of screen size measurement, my 15 cm ruler beats all screens flat. that must be what, 10inch at least?

err.. 5.8" iphone X vs 5.5" iphone 8 plus

U just literally took everything I have explained, threw it to the bin, and insisted on your own logic.

Bro. Diagonal measurements don't justify shit.

It is only applicable for comparison, when the ratio is equal.

In this case 18:9 vs 16:9.

U don't judge one's weight based on his height right? Same theory.

Check this out bro,

Apple iPhone X's 5.8-inch screen is actually smaller than the 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus display

Apple iPhone X display: how big is it, really?

Screen size is it the priority criteria for choosing i8+ or iX?
I am still a fence sitter at this moment between the 2 models, just screen size is totally not in my consideration. I am more focus on other differential features ie TouchID vs FaceID, Camera quality, buttonless vs button


Anyway I am lean towards between ix or i8 (instead of i8+) reason being, i8+ size is too big to put in my pocket & all the while i been used to single hand typing

Priority should be how comfortable it is when holding the phone. I know that the Plus model is not very comfortable to hold for many while non-Plus model is a little too small. The X comes in the middle which I believe many will appreciate if we talk about ergonomics/comfort.

Interesting, I stand corrected then.

I supposed that explains why when I occasionally look at my friend's S8 (5.8") and it feels smaller compared to my 7+ (5.5"). I thought it's the overall smaller form factor which is giving me that illusion.

Last Friday no stock at istudip Changi. Today again no stock at istudio Changi.

Next stop i try in Osaka on Saturday.

"Display. This is the big one, quite literally. I’ve seen a lot of people assume the X will be an unambiguous slam dunk in this regard, saying the device has a bigger screen than the iPhone 8 Plus in a body close to the size of the regular iPhone 8. But this isn’t really true, and I think a lot of people used to the Plus-sized iPhones will be disappointed with the X in practice.

Yes, the iPhone X has a 5.8-inch screen compared to the iPhone 8 Plus’ 5.5-inch display. It’s also true that the X’s is higher resolution. But the 8 Plus’ screen is actually bigger. The X uses a narrower aspect ratio, so while it’s longer on the diagonal, you still get more surface area on the Plus overall — and that’s before you account for the notch and the rounded corners. I know, comparing screen sizes isn't what it used to be.

THE X WON'T SHOW PLUS-SIZED APP LAYOUTS
But the bottom line is that the Plus will display more useful content at once, even with its lower resolution. It’s wider as you hold it in portrait, which is why Apple introduced a new size class for app layouts when the iPhone 6 Plus first came out. Apps, websites, and so on have 414 horizontal “points” — the unit of measurement that the screen is divided into for design purposes — to fill on the Plus, while the X has 375, the same as the regular iPhone 8. The X has more vertical points, of course, because of the taller screen, but a lot of that will be occupied by the notch and home button bar.

What this means is that apps on the X will use the same basic layouts as the iPhone 8, not the Plus. You'll get more vertical content in portrait mode, but in landscape mode you'll actually see less vertical screen space than even the smaller 8 because of how developers need to avoid the virtual home button bar as well as the notch. You won't get the Plus' iPad-style multi-panel views, either. And how long will it take before all your apps get updated for the X in the first place? I'm still using several that never got updated for the iPhone 6.


The X’s screen may well be better quality — we’ll have to see how Apple’s first attempt at an OLED phone turns out, but I have high hopes for the panel itself. Obviously, there’s also no denying that the X makes far better use of available space; the iPhone 8 Plus’ chunky bezels are pretty anachronistic for a phone at this price in 2017. But I’m too used to the Plus layouts, and the accompanying information density, to go back to what’s often going to feel like a smaller phone in actual use.

Video is also a concern with the X. When watching regular 16:9 content, the notch and aspect ratio mean that you’re either going to have a lot of wasted space, or things are going to look weird. (Granted, the X will possibly be better for viewing wider cinematic content, in case you do feel like watching Lawrence of Arabia on the bus.)


This morning I caught up on the weekend’s Premier League action on my 8 Plus, for example. I wouldn’t really want to do that on anything smaller, but coupled with the much-improved speakers it’s a great experience on the Plus. As with TVs, it turns out that a big 1080p 16:9 rectangle is the best and most reliable way to show the majority of video content out there."



The main takeaway is THE CURRENT iPHONE X WON'T SHOW PLUS-SIZED APP LAYOUTS AND ALL PLUS-SIZED ADDITIONAL FEATURES.

Precisely, iX size given the advantage of between + and non +

Also a fence sitter here. As i'm coming from 6+, screen size and battery life are key points. But the heart is saying go with the new design and technology. Even if I put the price difference aside, i still could not decide

Ya. Exactly like Me. LOL

First few hour so using.
Screen is really long.
Why is my keyboard floating.

I really feel cheated right now.

The screen somehow feels bigger than the 7+ before I read this. Its something like the S8/S8+/ Note 8. Long but slimmer kind of feel.

Like mentioned by a forummer here, I highly suspect the current X to be the model to be replacing the current Iphone 8 form factor and Apple would definately be coming up with a plus version of the X on the next iteration of the Iphone.

Lol. And I’m actually considering to upgrade to S8+ from my 7+

Can someone confirm if the S8 plus is indeed having a bigger screen. I mean 6.2 vs 5.5. Should be kua

Like mentioned, it is longer not wider. This is debatable and up to you to decide if it is really bigger.
