Because the physical size of the iPhone x is smaller than the iPhone of Plus size..
The length is approx half an inch shorter and approx. quarter of an inch narrower but the thickness is more This is going by the feel of the case I’ve just received and measured against my 7+ From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Saqib Hussain Sent: Tuesday, 14 November 2017 2:26 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: It's Official: Mark is on iPhone 8 Plus (smile) Hi. The 10 is an inch bigger in screen size so I’m not sure why you think it’s smaller than the 8+?

I looked at both the 8 and the new 10. I didn’t consider looking at the 8 plus since I like a phone that takes up smaller real estate in my purse & pocket. I still can’t believe I took the plunge, but I ordered an IPhone 10 in silver with 256G. I have to say I think the phone is really slick. And even though I don’t see the screen I do find myself using the phone for a lot of scanning and picture taking these days. I think the better photo ability will help at the end of the day. I do think its crazy money to spend on a phone. I never in my life thought I’d spend this much on a phone, but I do love my cell phone and its so much more than just a phone. This one will have to last me longer than usual because I can’t justify upgrading this one in another 3 or 4 years. To be honest my IPhone 6 is still working perfectly and is in good condition. I treated myself and why not we only live once! I will have a learning curve on some of the new gestures once I get the phone in 3 to 4 weeks. I also wound up coming home and placing the order by phone because I wanted to return my 6 for cash, but to do that I would have been without a phone during the 3 or 4 week waiting period on the 10. So once I get the 10 I’ll go back to the Apple store and ask for gift cards for my phone and my husbands 6 which I had been holding onto. I’ll buy all the necessary accessories once I have the gift cards in-hand. Enjoy your new 8 plus. Eileen From: M.

While I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with iPhone 10, believe it or not, I do not like its smaller form factor nor, as a low vision user, its display aspect-ratio in terms of watching videos. To me, it's just too narrow. Again, this is just my opinion and my opinion, only. As for my take on Face ID? Hmm! Well, the thrill of it wore off pretty fast on me (smile). While I have no doubt but that Face ID is here to stay, as well it should, I decided to go with a SIM-free, space gray, 256GB iPhone 8 Plus. I was surprised to learn that the SIM-free models of the iPHone 8 series launched in the US at the same time as the carrier-branded models. It used to be that the SIM-free models were launched no sooner than two months after the carrier-branded models. I was told by an Apple Genius, today, that the SIM-free model of iPhone 10 is not yet available in the US. Just as an F.Y.I., in the USA, only the SIM-free models ship with a SIM card removal tool. I have always thought this to be a ridiculous practice of Apple for, carrier-branded or not, one may choose to remove the SIM card at some point in the future. Besides, for the amount of money one pays for iPhone, I think Apple should include the SIM card removal tool, along with a three-course meal, for that matter. (smile) I also purchased Apple Care Plus along with my prerequisite screen protector. I was delighted to discover that the 8 plus fits in the same case as my 6 plus so no added expense, there. I updated my Windows iTunes 12.6 to 12.6.3 and it's running beautifully. As I did not update my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 11.x, I will make a full backup to iTunes and restore to the new phone later this weekend. Okay, I know that's more information than you wanted but, what can I say? I'm feeling chatty (smile).
