What does iPhone with their updates is outrageous. Never owned an iPhone, but I consider the phones of a high quality and as always with a great design. However they're also overpriced comparing them with other android flagships, but for the ones having them for generations seems that other manufacturer doesn't exist anymore. If you opt for the X you should know that it doesn't have a physical home button so you will have to get used with some gesture for that and it is larger than the 6S. I had one in hand and didn't like it too much so if you don't care that much about having the latest and greatest you could choose for an 8 or why not wait for the new models and see "what upgrade" they bring to the new ones. If you are willing to switch to android I would suggest you oneplus 6 or Huawei P20 pro.
