What is the obvious difference between iPhone 8 and iPhone X?

Display:

This device has a bigger Touch screen than the iPhone 8 Plus in a body close to the size of the regular iPhone 8. But this isn' t really true. 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 is higher resolution. But the iPhone 8 Plus screen is actually bigger. The X uses a narrower aspect ratio, so while it' s longer on the diagonal. You should pay attention to the notch and the rounded corners.

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 screen may well be better quality, because Apple first attempt at an OLED phone turns out. 

Face ID:

We expect Face ID to work very well on the X. The company doesn' t want a repeat of the Apple Maps fiasco, where it removed a critical feature of the iPhone and replaced it with something much worse.



But that doesn' t mean I particularly want to use Face ID. There could be some technical issues to iron out at launch, and even if there aren' t, it' s just another thing to figure out and get used to without any immediate advantages. (I' m not sure Animoji counts.) 

Meanwhile, iPhone Touch ID works on the iPhone 8 Plus the same way it always has. It' s fast, reliable, and you know what you' re doing when you activate it. I' m happy to continue using it while iPhone X owners work through any Face ID kinks.

Design:

Apple saying the iPhone 8 has a "new design" stretches the boundaries of belief as much as it did when Apple said the same thing about the iPhone 7. This is still very much a tweaked iPhone 6. But what matters is what you think of the tweaks.

To be clear, the iPhone X is the more attractive and beguiling device. But the 8 makes a statement of its own, giant bezels and all. That statement is " I' m comfortable with what most phones are like today, and I want the ultimate one of those."

Price:

Even if you' ve read all of the above and still want an iPhone X, good luck actually getting one. Supply chain reports suggest that Apple is only able to produce the device in alarmingly low quantities, meaning that you could be waiting for several months before you' re able to pick one up. If you use a phone for several years, that' s less of an issue. But if you buy a phone every year or two? You must consider the price.
