I like a lot of the upgrades and improvements on this phone as expected. Thing is, I don't want a "plus" sized phone. I'm thinking of dropping down to a SE still. I hope it got a quiet upgrade out of this.

I'm with you. Still using my SE -- it's the perfect size for me. The iPhone X seems like a compromise. They reportedly could not get TouchID to work under the display, which fueled the design choice to use FaceID instead and FaceID requires that ugly 'notch' at the top of the screen. It's not, really, just a screen on the front of the phone.

From the amount of times they overstated this point in the keynote, it really strikes me as something they were desperately striving to achieve for the iPhone X but ultimately were unable to.
