Yep much smaller.
That's a bit mad, but you might be right in terms of usable space. He hasn't shows the 5.5" Plus screens in that article, but because the Plus models have touch ID and no notch, it means their safe areas are smaller than on the 5.8" X screen.
There's no safe area at the bottom of the screen for the home button swipe gesture, and the top screen safe area is much more thin. This will have an even bigger impact in landscape mode for video, if that's important to you.

It’s a smaller phone... so not exactly surprising nor confusing!
I know it’s a smaller phone, but when advertised as 5.8 inches with edge to edge screen, wherease iPhone Plus screen is 5.5 inches. It’s not as straightforward.

I think the chances of getting one through EE are pretty slim. They are going to be getting very limited numbers of phones if any of the rumours are true. Rather than wait for EE, I've decided I'm going back to SIM only and buying the X outright.

Order through the store app, have everything pre-loaded, make sure your credit card is on record. In other words, have everything prepped, and when it's the time you should just need to add to cart, and checkout in 10-15 seconds. Oh what fun!

got my store app all set up ready. going for 64gb space grey. the iphone7 plus 128gb are still selling 2nd hand for almost £500 so this is half my cash back
Got the Store App primed and ready to go!
My only niggling doubts I have over getting the X, is the fact I’m usually an S cycle buyer... so the knowledge that a more refined X will be out next year is a bit meh (but whatever), also I’m not sure if the visual jarring of the notch is something that I’ll just overlook after a while.... or not!

I hear they're making a phablet iPhone XL next year, not really feeling the need to change my 7 Plus at the moment so may wait out for this version.
Apple recently suspended development of a 5.28-inch OLED iPhone, told parts manufacturers that it expects changes in order volumes, and signed contracts with Samsung for multiple OLED display sizes, according to The Bell. The moves were reportedly motivated by the “low marketability” of smaller phones and the “popularity of larger-screen phones for video viewing.”

We hear this every year. Last year it was “next year is 10th anniversary iPhone ect..” and so on.

The X is a different scenario as the design is quite different (and somewhat unfinished).
Hopefully next years will be the finished product instead of this years beta X.

Im still undecided to get a X , or an iPhone 8.
I have been using a iPhone 7 for a few days now , from a iPhone 6S Plus and it seems to be a good form factor. Its going to be a learning curve going to Face ID i guess. Also im guessing the battery should be a bit better than the 8 , as currently with the 7 , im getting to the end of the day between 10-20% battery left.
