iPhone 8 / 8+ Review – A PC Hardware Guy’s Perspective

Let's be honest - the iPhone 8 is pretty much the definition of a "refresh." But does iOS 11 make this refresh a lot more interesting?

Thank you for acknowledging Wii being cooler than iPhone 8

I bought the 8 because my 5 finally was starting to not work.

Addition: Of all the comments and discussion below, the most important reason I stuck with Apple instead of switching was because my 32gb was full with about 7-8000 memes from the last 5 years and now I don’t have to delete any of them 😁

So, better camera, better processor, better os. "Decent" upgrade. Not the best, not the worst.

Yeah I get it, the 8 Plus isn't cool! I don't care, I was due for an upgrade from my aging 6S, and I'm not paying any extra. And I really really hate that screen cut out on the X. I really couldn't give less of a shit how cool people think my phone is, I'm very happy with my 8 Plus. I don't have any illusions about it being super cool or revolutionary, but that's not what I wanted. I just wanted an update of my old phone.

Nice song with that Eclipse by Pink Floyd

Hey Dbrand give Linus a LGV30 PLEASE

He needs his headphone jack back x

I bet the HDR capability is for watching stuff on other screens via AirPlay.

"I´m still using wired headphones." shows a picture of wireless headphones :D

Why does Linus exist in 2017?

Is Linus 2017 worth it?

I like the new format of saying the sponsor before the intro, it helps keep the video's pace.

[essadheyaa]

Who agrees with me that they should've called it 7s and 7s plus

[michelecaci]

But can *_I_* run crysis?








Or am *_I_* a little bit confused?

[wirelessnet]

but as a hardware nerd... dude the A11 is too damn fast like
their SOCs are truly amazing

[dirtroadie]

Agree with Linus. Once the price of the Pixel 2 XL was confirmed, I bought an iPhone 8 Plus.

[alkalinepills]

I just love how Linus introduces ad's. there's that one word that he shoots and you're just siting there like here we go again. The way linus's team tackles ads is great and captivating

Hey! I'm new to your channel (here in Belgium i don't know anyone who ever heard about you guys ^^' [probably because only few speak or understand English out there ^^'), i found it probably because i'm passionate in High-tech/PC hardware and i just wanted to answer to what you said in an older video i just watched (Honest Answer #5). The only reason i watched many of your videos is because i feel like you always try to stay as much impartial (and fun, which doesn't kill the pleasure) as you can, and I LIKE IT as it really is becoming more and more hard to find that nowaday.
I'd like to add that damn it is hard to put "a like" on every single video i see and like from you guys, so... sorry if i don't always do it x)
Well... That's it. Thanks for it, and keep up the good work! i think it will take me almost 17 years to watch all your videos, but i sure will !

Less iPhone talk, more Wallpaper Window Part #2

I use the iPhone for iOS . I used android and iOS, believe me iOS is way more optimized and just more satisfying to use. I bought the LGv30 to try and see if I could android again and nope I returned it after a day of use and got the iPhone 8 plus. The software was slow the camera was extremely laggy. I find this on most android devices though, unfortunately. I’m not a apple fanboy at all, I love my custom built pc and would choose it over any Mac any day. At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. Try every phone out for yourself at the store before buying, don’t order online it may be easier but it may also may screw you over because you’ll end up hating the phone you got.
