iPhone 8 or Plus?
The smaller battery is garbage and dies half way through the day, the larger one is really good.
8.
The problem is the Plus is too big. What’s the X like?

What’s the screen on time you are getting?
Almost every smartphone quotes great battery life but as soon as the screen comes on you can throw that out the window regardless of brand.
When I got the train to work I would use 40-50% in the 1 hour 40 I was on the train (all screen on) but less than 10% when I was working for 8 hours.
X has excellent battery life... 2716mAh battery (bigger than the 8 Plus) vs 1821mAh on the 88.

Might need to swap then, X isn't a lot bigger than the 8 but the notch, hmm
The notch that kind of needs to be there to accommodate front cameras? Honestly do not see what the fuss is about.
Notch on the X is fine, don’t even notice it unless you are looking right at it.
Sounds like a battery issue to me.3 hours of usage on WiFi, Snapchat on screen for just under an hour and I’m down to 61%. This thing is trash!
It does, if you go full screen the notch isn’t noticeable, if you double tap to fill the screen, the notch is quite intrusive on a brighter video where it stands out.The only concern I have is with videos. Doesn't it cut the notch out?
Could it be snapchat. Quick google shows numerous articles about it using a lot of power, especially in the background?
Nope they won't do anything as the health is at 100%. Utterly useless Apple Support are these days.
For a "mail-in" repair, does Apple actually repair the phone these days or do they do what they used to do and just replace it with a refurb?
