iPhone X vs. iPhone 8 Plus: Which iPhone is better?

in tech •  6 years ago 

hello friends,


If you're in the market for a new, big-screen iPhone, deciding which to buy -- and debating between the iPhone X and the iPhone 8 Plus -- you're probably not alone.

True, the iPhone X is the slightly "better" of the two on paper. It has a sharper, larger screen and a depth-sensing front-facing camera. But while it may be the obvious pick simply because of its extra hardware goodies, that doesn't exactly mean it's the right one for you and your needs.

To make sense of these two iPhones' key differences and what impact they could make on your decision, I'll walk you through the questions you should ask yourself when buying either of these two phones. It's not about finding a "winner," it's about helping you find your next iPhone.

Price: What's your budget and what're things worth to you?

Probably the most important factor in anyone's buying decision is the price. The iPhone X is more expensive than the iPhone 8 by at least $200, £200 and AU$350. But these prices don't factor in additional costs like tax and AppleCare, which can pile up quickly. To that end, figure out your total budget for the phone first, and don't forget any cases, extra charging cables and adapters you plan on buying too.

If you can comfortably afford either phone and its accessories, consider the monetary value of each of the iPhone X's unique features (which I'll go over) and weigh its worth to you. Is that bigger screen worth the extra $100, and the depth camera worth another $100? Maybe they're worth an extra $50 to you, and anything more feels egregious.
