Apple iPhone 8 Review: A great 'Plan B' | Pocketnow

Watch our Apple iPhone 8 review. The iPhone 8 doesn’t seem to be getting the reception that new iPhones usually get. It didn't fully sell out like iPhones do every year, and the legendary lines at stores were, well.. not there. The general consensus is that most people are waiting for the iPhone X. So the question of the year: Who is this phone for? Watch our iPhone 8 review to learn more.

Iteration on the side of caution has been the Apple way for decades. You can see it in the Mac where you only see design changes every four years or so. You saw it with iPhones every two years as well, but.. Did you notice that move where Cupertino launched the iPhone SE? It turns out that one of Apple’s best selling phones is a design that’s a crazy 6 years old. There seems to be some logic in Apple retaining the design of the iPhone 6 for a fourth generation. For us gadget fans, that’s stupid, but it seems that most iPhone users just don't want such a dramatic change.

Finally an iPhone 8 review about the 8 and not the plus version. So many iPhone videos they title it 8 but mostly talk about the plus. Thank you Jaime some people prefer the 4.7 iPhone more.

When coming from an iPhone 6 to an 8 it’s a great upgrade

[terrencebenjamin]

It's my plan A because I am not spending 1500 bucks on a phone

[Reynolyn]

and Im here, still with my Iphone 6, waiting for the 7 to be less expensive

switched from the pixel xl to a regular iphone 8. i love it. android requires too much tinkering just to get your phone to work properly. all android phones are getting bigger when i just want a one thumber that will run well and looks pretty good.

went all out and bought a macbook pro 15 inch touchbar too. you simply cant go wrong with apple products if you can afford them.

[thanhattrinh]

It's such the most expensive "plan B" that I've ever known 😂

I've used iPhones ever since the 4 came to Verizon. I've had a 4, 5s, and 6s. When it came time to upgrade I was quite disappointed in how Apple's innovations had declined to almost nothing. Out of spite I made a rookie mistake and decided to give Samsung a try. I have the s7 edge and it is utterly terrible. The battery life is borderline offensive compared my 6s. The fingerprint scanner must be so secure that it won't even let me in with my own fingerprint 80% of the time. If for some reason the app doesn't crash on me it runs like dog shit. Also android apps are crude compared to iOS in my opinion.
Idc if they changed anything from iPhone 7 to the iPhone 8. When this phone is paid up I'm crawling back to Apple in a heart beat.

When I click on a pocketnow video I always get an ad by Mr. Mobile which makes me go there instead of watching this.

I have a question for you guys if the iPhone x going to delay until 2018, would you wait for it or get something else? If so what phone is it?

[HomeAutomationX]

The announced the X too close to the 8. Not sure why they would do that?

[LeftJoystick]

I didn't realize the normal 8 had stereo speakers as well~

[palucav]

I love the Iphone 6 7 8 design
Awesome..
Its compact

[charlieputhfan]

I love my iPhone 8 😂 first iPhone ever!!! And I really like it, normally I use android but after this I’m sticking with apple.

[trinikenshin]

Jaime just grew a foot taller with the amount of stretching he had to do to find positives about the iPhone.

He actually said: "you don't need fast charging for a battery this small"
#wtf

[martinwer]

I'm so tired of hearing about dbrand

[iOnRX]

i am actually a fan of the iPhone + series, i would have rather they put an oled screen on the iPhone 8+

[brentmcgillis]

I have wanted a I-phone and not to use as a phone, but strictly for camera on my blog pages. You have answered every question that I ever had regarding the I-phone 8. Thank-you for all the work you do on your reviews, honestly it is a big help in making a decision for a blog phone.

[Farhanharis]

I am Using my Iphone 8 now for a week. A11 is super and also it charges almost 45% within 30minitues with the standard charger. and battery life is well enough for my full day drive. I am completely Happy..

[PaytonMiller]

iPhone 8 for life the phone is so underrated

[destronlogical]

Coming from an iPhone 4 its like a seamless adjustment. Nothing too different for me to adjust to except maybe the speakers being so loud
