- Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A REVIEW. No B-roll for this one guys, just an honest talk about my thoughts on using an older iPhone and upgrade considerations. Not my typical style of video but hoping it can help someone out there in the same boat.

I still use my iPhone 8 Plus since 2017 & still going strong 😊
5:19 thats a life tip right there 💡 "What problem is it solving" God Bless! brother
Love watching content about old iPhones.
didn’t learn anything new from this video, but it’s still has a good point, keep it up!
You deserve way more subs than 412 ngl. You earned your 413th subscriber!
Thank you!
Great thing I learned in this video is upgrade when it solves the actual problem... Keep that realism in your videos...never be fake like other tech TH-camrs..
You got your 415 subscriber❤
Glad it helped!
This is actually a really good video. I see here in comments some people imagined it differently because of the title but it actually has the depth and he explains why HE still uses an iphone 8 + ,whatever his reasons are and i think although it is different kind of a video than many consumers would expect, its good. I’ve been using iphone 6s until 2023 and i changed it for 4 years “old” Xs only because i kinda “inherited it”. People can buy newer versions,but many times it really solves nothing except their emotional need.
THIS comment wins! Glad you enjoyed it and it resonated with you.
as long as the phone serves it's purpose, enough is simply enough. Great video. Just subscribed.
Just bought a 8 plus can’t wait to get it was one of my favorite phones never had a problem with it before I’m using the 7 now with no problems
as a commercial manager 44 years old, I'm using a non-plus iPhone 8 in 2024. It's slow but enough for daily works and life. I had an iPhone 11 and an iPhone 12 pro max but in the summer of 2024 I went back to the small home buttom iPhone.
iPhone 8 Plus was a great phone it had good cameras, innovative Touch ID, was a time when Apple cared, and iOS 12. One guy once said he’s not the type of guy to spend thousands on a phone. But it depends on the type of feature you want and need.
I wish they bring back the 8 plus body back with the new chips
iphone se exists
I use the iphone 8 plus as my daily driver and I love it
you are correct about that i too have an iphone 6s cause it fulfills my needs.You deserve way more subs than 423. You earned your 424 subscriber!
Thank you! Are you planning to upgrade anytime soon?
i think not until there is a big upgrade in the smart phone industry as all the phones are alike now and no one is doing anything new @@ljtech20
This year I decided to break my new phone habit that materialized when I switched to Apple. I started with the 11 and have upgraded every year. This year, I decided to stop. I still have my 14 Pro Max. I plan on keeping it. It's weird that this same urge doesn't apply to computers. I bought the M1 Macbook Air new and the M1 Mac mini refurbished. I'm completely happy with them. When I used Android, I primarily used the Samsung Note. My last was the Note 9 and I usually upgraded every 3 to 4 years. With Apple, I turned into a knucklehead! LOL I hope to stop that now. It's a waste. Nice video man.
Ugh I hear you. I used to be that guy chasing the greatest phone with all the best specs; in the end is just a waste. A phone well taken care of can easily last you quite a few years. In the end, they all do the same thing. The latest ones just do things marginally better than the previous models. Save money and mental energy in the long run!
There's nothing wrong with using an old phone. I still use the Samsung Galaxy S9+, a 6 year old phone that I bought 1 year after it's launch. Everytime a new piece of tech comes out, it's all just minimal upgrades and gimmicks. Not to mention, over priced, and software buggy on the 1st year it was launched. I won't be upgrading anytime soon because the phone still works.
I think you are correct sir
I’m using an iPhone 7 Plus right now lol
No shame on that! If it’s taking care of your needs, why change it? Any plans to upgrade?
@@ljtech20 I just bought the phone for $90 and it's perfect. I won't be upgrading unless I absolutely have to, seems a bit extreme but I am a minimalist
@@Hiatusflowerchild Definitely the way to go and there's nothing extreme about it.
I have an iPhone 7✨🥰
@@ljtech20 I still use my space grey iPhone 6s Plus from 5th grade and I’m still perfectly happy with it and don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon
I saw someone today with iPhone 8 and I was surprised and it was refreshing to see it again. I like the iPhone 7 and 8 plus design with the innovative Haptic Touch ID. I don’t really prefer what Apple has made the iPhone into these days it’s all Face ID and the innovation has died.
i like the way he think 💭 thats make sense
Brouse cuts in less than every 10 seconds because avg human attention span has reduced so much due to short form content.
I could probably say the same about people who use wired earbuds and older &more affordable devices in 2024 like the Samsung A series and the older iPhones like the iPhone X and 11
Using older devices means you don’t have to spend thousands on the latest iPhone like the iPhone 15
I use earbuds too because I don’t have to charge them and they don’t eat my battery while travelling 💁🏼♀️💓

Thank you!
You know what I look for in iPhones is storage and ram so that I can play games with no lag I have an iPhone 8 Plus and I would say that it’s time to upgrade here’s why storage ram and battery
The talk is about 8 plus not you and your opinion, you should be showing the mobile atleast 50% of the time in video! but you haven't shown the mobile a single time. tip is that your video should contain visuals and cut in every 5-7 secs. that's how you grow mate!
This video wasn’t meant to be a review of the phone, but precisely why I personally still use it today. I appreciate the feedback though, will keep it in mind for future similar videos.
**clears throat** I want you to read the title of the video again
Fr
its a double edged sword because the title wasn’t “why YOU should still use an older iphone in 2024” but why HE still uses it. I understand some people may expect something different but in this case the creator is not wrong. Considering the title he could {and he did} grab the concept however he wanted, whether it is talking about technical stuff including showing the device or explaining his philosophy behind it.
@@karintamaskovicova8634 That's exactly what I wanted to say... and also whether it is a double edged sword depends on how the person wields it
you are very mistaken when it comes to the price of the base model 15 bc its actually $799 witch is a whole $200 cheaper than $1000, the 15 plus is $100 more expensive and the pro is $1000 then the pro max is $1200
Thanks for the clarifying on prices for the specific iPhone 15 models. Still, $799 is a considerable amount of money for a phone.
You know while yes the base model is $799 which is considerably less then a 1,000 dollars but I do agree with him that it is a considerably high amount for a phone I’m not one to talk as I have a 15 pro max with 512gb but my work depends on my phone because of my coaching business what i do find funny is People will spend 1500 or more on phones tablets and other tech but they will cheap out on there health and living expenses smh it’s pretty sad but yeah 799 on a phone is a lot again to me my 15 pro max is a tax right off and the end of the year since it’s for my business but both Apple and Samsung are charging ridiculous amounts of money for phones
i’m still using iphone x in 2024 even though it doesn’t supports the newest version anymore. But for me it’s all good and usable, except for the battery of course! lol
Lol same here. Just changed the screen protector and case… and poof! Feels like new!
Show the phone
my mum's phone broke and i was thinking of buying a used iphone for her cuz m a student and cant afford a 800 usd+ phone lol. she dont like gesture controls at all, she hates them and thats why she has been using android for like 9 years now. so naturally, iphone 8 plus came to my mind cuz it has a home button. i thought about the se as well but that thing is just way too small. i just needed a final push before i buy it so thanks lol. great vid btw, you earned a sub.
Your mom is going to love that gift. If it's good enough for me, I'm sure it's going to be good enough for her!
I thought this was about Iphone 8 plus in 2024. 😅
same bro
that was my intention with the samsung z flip 4 , to have a little box that its not "open" to loose time, Im also have a timer with apps as instagram , youtube
I found myself just dismissing that timer most of the time. Nowadays I just don’t have those apps on my phone, and download them on a per-need basis.

bro you spent HALF the video NOT talking about the iPhone 8 plus...thanks for helping me decide whether or not to get one 🤷🙄👌👎
You missed the point of the video then. It's NOT a review. Cheers!
