I bought an iPhone 8 Plus from Amazon Renewed! Still worth it?

Is the iPhone 8 Plus still worth it in 2020? I went back to Amazon and bought an iPhone 8 Plus from the Amazon Renewed program. I did this a while back and got an iPhone 7 as well.

When I saw the iPhone X, I didn't like it at all, and I bought the iPhone 8 Plus that I'm using right now and I love it.

My iPhone 8+ is still going strong since close to release, you’re absolutely right, beast of a phone that still competes with newer releases. My battery capacity is currently at 84% and that’s mostly from not keeping my phone plugged in all night but that still impressive since I bought it in 2017. Great video Travis!

8+ is my iPhone. Had an XR and X and didn't like the notch. Also although not oled the LCD with true tone is really nice and the 16:9 aspect ratio great for media. Also forgot to say proper landscape mode on 8+ you only get on iPad otherwise!

[dannydaniel]

all of you call me crazy, I went from a XR to an 8 Plus, and honestly, I don't regret it one bit. The 8 Plus is cheaper, and feels just as good as my XR.

On the Premium Renewed, they give 1 year and guarantee 90% battery. The only bad thing is that Amazon handles the Premium Renewed itself. So you can not buy from someone with a high rating.

Watching this on my iPhones 8+ I really do like this phone, 3D Touch is also awesome!

[bobgrimes]

Just rewatched your video after getting my 2nd 8 Plus! I got a Galaxy S21 after a bad experience with a 12 Mini. I missed my old 8 Plus and got another one, this time 256 gigs, 87% battery in Space Gray. Will be keeping this beauty for a very long time!

I bought my iPhone 8 Plus brand new out of the box in 2020. I absolutely love it. I was thinking about upgrading to iPhone X, but it wouldn’t be much of an upgrade.

[supersmashmaster]

My 7 Plus is a beast as well. These phones are still great in 2020🔥

[CaydinWolf]

This was a great review, Travis! I like how much info you provide in these Amazon Renewed videos, giving people a chance to save a lot of money on very solid phones that still hold up to this day. The 8 Plus is definitely a beautiful phone! Would love to see you review an Amazon Renewed iPhone X sometime!

I have an iPhone 7 and it still performs really good, even though my battery is at 76% health. Apple really makes extremely reliable and consistent devices, even after years of use and abuse they are not slowing down 💪🏼

[corneliussmith]

My gf still has her 8 plus even after we broke up. It’s a great device. I decided to wait for the Xs max when it came out.

[sushmitarai]

I bought the iphone 8plus in 2020 not because it is cheap but because this phone is just outstanding even in 2020 It is big, has touch id, looks ellegent I feel like m actually using an iphone (based on a design) and gotta say iphone 8plus is more convenient than any other iphones. I am keeping it for another 3years as long as ios is upgrading.
I love my iphone 8plus gold 😍 its my bae

[BigSFun]

I agree with you. The 8 plus is an excellent phone. I had one before my current Xs Max, now my son has my old 8 plus. In many ways I think the 8 plus is better than Xs Max; the feel in the hand is spot on!

[MiguelCusati]

Hi, I'm watching you from Spain since last year and want you to know that your videos are so cool!

[samijay]

I'm starting to think Travis is doing advert for Amazon Renew Program

[Andrea_Green]

your intro gives me the giggles every time laughter is much needed now thanks i’m enjoying your reports on older devices from amazon keep up the great work👌🏾

[sockhead]

I want to buy an iPhone 8 plus but not sure if scammed like the reviews say if anyone bought one from the link pls let me know how is it

[liri]

I just bought it, do you think iphone 8+ will last another 2 years with updates?... because I change phones once 2 years...

[oliverstamm]

Great review Travis. You’re right on point. I bought the 8 plus on eBay in great condition with 97% battery for €270. There something about it that I actually prefer using it over my 11 pro. I had the 11 pro max but it’s too massive for me. What stands out is the 16:9 ratio. Yes you get bigger but in reality only taller displays with the newer generation but honestly in real live there is not much. I prefer 16:9. Probably unless one does a lot of games, this is the perfect size. Totally worth buying in 2020! Hoping for an SE plus.
