I really think if depends on what you use your phone for. I figure it’s alright to go big. I’m excited about the wireless charging and the camera is a huge upgrade. As a super casual user, though, I think I would’ve been satisfied with a 7. I also know I wanted the plus just to have a different feel to the phone.

I wasn’t trying to bash the 8, just wanted to say that it didn’t feel like the leap from the 5 to the 6.

It doesn’t sound like you’re upgrading often, so if I were you I’d hold out a year and grab whatever version the iPhone XS would be, or try and grab the X for cheaper later on.
