IPhone 8 or iPhone X?

I don't want the plus because I don't really want a big phone. The pros of getting the 8 is that it's $300 cheaper than the X for the same processor and basic functions. The only reason I'm considering getting the iPhone X is because it has an extra 2 hour battery life and that s cool for someone like me who's out of the house a lot, it also has the face recognition but honestly, I could care less about that, I never had a big problem with the Touch ID and they re also adding a tier 2 Touch ID.

"hours of battery life" is about the worst unit of measurement possible, since it can be manipulated. Use mAh

a difference of less than 400 mAh is negligible
anything less than 3000mAh is too small

also pay attention to processor power consumption and calculate the math yourself

If you really want the extra battery life, you can always use a portable charger which can give you about 10000mAh of extra power for just a fraction of the extra dough.

Iphone 8

Depends on what you need. If you play a lot of games then you probably want the X. If you just need it for pictures, email, web browsing then the 8.

IPhone X

Iphone 10 x is best for you
