The two screen shots posted on the last page aren't loading for me either. It only shows the top part of the image, probably a boards.ie issue though.

DubDJ wrote: » It really would depend on you personally, better off to check one out in store sometime. I find some people will find upgrades more impressive than others. Keep in mind, a lot of people on here have said they found it difficult going from a plus model to the standard X or Xs size. Even though they are technically larger screen sizes, a few were looking for the Xs Max that they released this year instead.

Bob24 wrote: » It is a big upgrade yes. I moved from the 7 to the X last year and now when I look at the previous design iPhones (Plus or not) they are still nice but seem dated. There area few reasons for this, but the top one is that the larger screen area in a smaller form factor allowed by the edge to edge display makes a significant difference. And it might be a personal thing but in terms of design and being nice to look at and handle, IMO the X is the best iPhone since the 4 (definitely superior to the 6/6s/7 design, and I had a 6 and a 7). PS: that’s not to say the older phones are bad, but there definitly is a significant jump.

No space left for the original X in that strategy. But yeah definitely agree with you that a major issue with the XR is that it’s too large for a good number of customers. In any case, I’m happy I got the X last year. Still is a great device and there’s nothing to make me want to updated.

Bob24 wrote: » Don’t forget though that from the start the X was a new product class in the iPhone lineup with a price much higher than anything before. So it can’t really compare to what was done with previous generations in terms of reusing last gen models. In short Apple’s view is that if a customer wants a super premium phone they need to pay top dollar for the latest gen of that super premium design. And otherwise they should look at the XR that Apple also sees as a premium phone (although not quite as much). And for the “budget” crowd looking for previous gens they have the 7/8. How would the original X fit in that product line in terms of pricing and in a way which makes sense to Apple? And also how would they market it given that in terms of design/built it is clearly more premium that the XR but in terms processing power it is weaker?

Well, putting aside supply chain and component cost issues over OLED screens etc, they could have done what they did every previous year and knocked a 100 off the X and continued selling it. There's a big price gap between the XR and XS that it could have filled. The issue of a more expensive model having weaker performance but superior design is already a problem all over their other line-ups and has been for years. I'd argue the XR with its larger screen has already complicated the iPhone line-up in the same way. The simplicity of the cheaper model being the smaller one is gone.
