    Massive, slab-like phones sell better in Asia for some reason.
    I’m to understand that they look even larger in their smaller hands…

    I suppose it was too much to hope we might get at least a week after the release before people started talking about the new phone.

    They were talking about the “9” before the 8 even came out.

    I can't  agree more. I learnt to accept the size of the 4.7" generation iPhones but absolutely won't use anything bigger than the iPhone X.

    Comfortable one handed use is over. Why can't we have the best features in the smaller size?

    The plus phones don't equal to premium to me, they just have large screens.
    Better camera(s) Higher ppi, 1080p screen resolution, more RAM, better battery life?  There is a bit more to the plus than just a larger screen that makes it premium.. IMHO.

    I would never accept anything as big as an iPhone Plus, and I'm annoyed by the notion of being forced to settle for a lower end product in order to get the form factor I want. Though I doubt the credibility of this rumor, if true it would totally sour my interest in iPhones in general. 
    Not sure I follow your logic.  The iPhone X is just slightly larger in chassis than the iPhone 8(and 7/6s/6) 4.7" screen model.  What this rumour indicates is that Apple next year will essentially keep this size, and add a larger screen version, which in chassis size is likely close to the 5.5" plus model.

    So the iPhone X (5.8" screen diagonal) is roughly the size you would use, no?

    The move to larger screens (for the majority) is a trend that I don't see reversing.  I certainly look forward to the 5.8" screen size, in roughly the same physical chassis as current 7, when I upgrade in a year or 2.  I am sure there are many that would jump at a ~ 6.5" screen phone.

    I do hope that Apple makes an update to the SE line to keep the low-end fresh, and perhaps (in a few years) this will get a bigger screen but in a chassis size similar to current SE.
    They don’t make the iPhone SE for old weird people who want to hang on to whatever was cool 5 years ago... it’s for India and The poor. To Build and to Buy. 

    Theyre not not putting an oled screen in a entry level 5 year old phone design. Ev
