If you wanted a bigger screen, your only option was to go for the Plus. >However, this year Apple has introduced three new models with the addition of the iPhone X. Although the new iPhone X is physically smaller in dimensions than the iPhone Plus, it has a larger screen. And other than the lack of Touch ID, the iPhone X is arguably a superior product than the iPhone 8 Plus.
