Single camera and LCD screen are the only difference.

You can save some money and buy a used X instead.

IP67 vs IP68
Smaller battery, 1.5 hour shorter life on a full charge

For me IP68 is huge! Having to spend a lot of time with my kids on a beach, water parks, pool, I am upgrading just for this feature alone. 
Wonder if there is any implication on warranty though, will water damage be finally respected?

I'm all over this, except no 3D touch is strange. Makes me think that Apple will never make 3D more than it is right now -- a very minor feature.

I think it would be a first time a feature is literaly removed from iPhone. If true, perhaps Apple finally admits something everyone knew already -  3d touch was gimmick. 

Those smart people who bought it last week could be even smarter, and could have waited a bit more until Amazon and Google both give these "products" for free, as hunger for ever more private user data justifies the cost of manufacturing. 
Another way of distribution for Amazon would be a free Echo Dot in a box of organic cereal available at Whole Foods Market near by.

What happened to Face ID not being suitable for people under the age of 13?

What happened to common sense? Isn't an ability of your kids to unlock your phone defeats the purpose of Face ID?
