Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
i still am trying to get my iphone 8 fixed 😢
Hi, Josh!
I am among the dwindling minority who is still happily using my iPhone 8 Plus that I’ve had since it was new/current, so I’ll definitely be on the lookout for the iPhone 8 Plus featured video once it is ready for prime time. 👋🏿👍🏿👌🏿🎄😍🥳
I bought it in this year and the model SE (2020) - When will the update support ends?
got the iphone 8+ as replacement for my 7+ which got hammered in a car accident and i have to say that 8+ is absolutely useless.. had i known before, i would have gone for a 7+ again although they don't deliver updates anymore. the 8+ is much slower, laggy, sluggish, freezie.. the worst iphone i ever had
What’s crazy is that even though everyone hated the iPhone 8, it ended up outselling the iPhone X which is crazy. The iPhone 8 lifetime sales are 86 million units worldwide, and the lifetime sales of the iPhone X are 63 million units worldwide.
Yes but big price difference
@@javi3266 that’s true, also the iPhone X was delayed by two months, if it would’ve came out in September and if Apple would’ve kept it around much longer, it would’ve sold a lot more. The iPhone XS was a commercial flop, due to the iPhone X still being a great value.
Yes, that’s also true, though not being the first, the iPhone X really popularized $1000 smart phones especially flagships.
@@javi3266 not to mention all of the carriers who offered deals on the 8 when the XR and XS came out to clear stock.
Same with the XR and XS
I appreciate how realistic you are about your phone reviews. Other channels will say the iPhone 8 or even XR or other slightly older phones are trash when they are not. I still use a 6s and it’s great.
tbh! personally think we’ve reached a point in tech where yearly phone upgrades aren’t that necessary anymore to the average consumer. so long as it works for you then its good! will be rocking by xs till its no longer supported!
I have an 8 but still use an original SE due to the form factor. I will use my 8 again once iOS 17 is out and the 8 will likely be stuck on iOS 16. After that I’ll use my 12 Mini. No point in upgrading anymore.
no it is trash
@@neilyu5787 XS is such a pretty phone too
On the XR right now and it works well!
Every Apple enthusiast has their favorite model, and this is mine. That design is just so beautiful to me
me too i love the gold color
Same esp in gold
Had iPhone 8 now upgraded to 13 mini cuz it’s prob the last small phone... but the 8 was rly good!
I absolutely love reviews like this. I love seeing how old technology is faring in the modern day, now that tech has changed and what not. As someone who used to use Androids all the time, one reason I’m ultimately glad I switched to Apple’s iPhones during the 11 era is the fact that Apple’s chips are just ridiculously too powerful to be pushed at launch. The fact that the 8, a phone released in 2017, can support iOS 16 which was released in 2022 is INSANE… this is an A11 chip!! Just goes to show how long Apple products can last and how useful they can be in the long term. That is honestly the most impressive thing about Apple’s products and why I honestly don’t think I’d be able to go back to Android.
As an android user I agree.
I’ve had my iPhone 8 Plus for almost 5 years and I’ve loved it so much! I’ve ordered the iPhone 14 pro max to upgrade too but I just love the way the iPhone 8 plus looked and quite sad to be upgrading😅
I did the same, iPhone 8 plus best purchase of an iPhone ever. ❤
Can i have your 8 plus? 😭 Im still using my 6 plus from 2014
@@nbafan09 😂😂
Still using it today since release. Put in a new battery two years ago. Does all the things just as good when it was new.
How did you handle the battery replacement? Official Apply battery or aftermarket? Did you do it yourself or did you send it off?
I had a bad experience changing the battery in my son's 6s a few years back. It was an aftermarket battery bought on Amazon or ebay, and the installation went well. It ended up swelling and messing up the phone, though.
@@kings17court I got an official Apple Battery replaced locally by an Authorized Apple Service Repair place in my 2017 iPhone 8 three years ago. Had zero problems with it, still works now.
@@paulc.4980 Sounds great. I'll have to consider that approach if faced with the need for a replacement battery.
I have the 2016 SE, 2020 SE, and 8 plus. Love all of them and the last two are still solid under iOS 16. They are backups now for my 13 Pro Max which is incredible. I don't have to worry about battery life anymore.
I have been daily using my iPhone 8 for 2 years (still do) and battery is terrible after iOS 16. It was acceptable in iOS 15. It is mostly smooth but it heats up very quickly. I recommend buying an SE instead of the 8 but if your budget doesn’t allow that, an 8 will do just fine. Make sure to replace the battery.
Its does hold up to 2022 I got my battery replaced n it fixed the performance
@@Lostinmyabbys mine is at 85% lol
Se2 or se3?
My 8+ is on iOS 16 too, but my battery isn’t that bad (but that’s probably because it’s the + and not the normal 8). Yes, I charge it daily or every second day (depending on what I do with it) and around 4 times in a year after 3 or 4 days, but mine doesn’t heat up that much (84% is max capacity, I‘ll probably replace the battery next year). But sometimes it can still get somewhat hot, when I do something very complex, but that isn’t very often the case.
@@kimsoo16 any would be good
I’m currently using an iPhone 8, got it for Xmas. Honestly I love the small size, the battery isn’t terrible, the camera isn’t amazing but is ok. I don’t see anything bad about it tbh
Hi, do you still use your IPhone 8? At what percentage is your battery now if I may ask? Is IPhone 8 a good phone to use?
@@alexandrucionca3281 theres nothing bad about it
same i just got one because i me and my mum like to keep things cheap when it goes to devices but the iphone 8 is definitely good it gets us places and we can make our calls and do our stuff
Had my iPhone 8 Plus 256gb since 2019. Just had apple install a new battery and camera for me for less than $130. This phone still runs like a dream and glad I don’t have to pay over $1000 for a new iPhone. Hopefully I get a few more years out of this phone. I still love my home button. Next iPhone I will try to get one with a better camera quality, even though I don’t have any complaints with my 8 plus camera. Best of all NO PAYMENTS!!!
I bought the iPhone 8 in December 2017 and I’m still with it. I changed the battery in March this year and it’s holding up pretty well for my use
I really enjoyed your video and your realistic view on this topic, as other people mentioned too. For this money you get a really solid phone!
My iPhone 8 unfortunately broke this summer, so I got a SE 1. gen for 20€ in great condition except for a bad battery. Fixed it and every day to day tasks work fine, some stutters here and there, still not the best battery life but other than that it's just fine. Proves that even the older iPhone models get their job done well enough to be a very valid option.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are still solid devices, it’s at the point where even though the chipset is the oldest supported, it’s still fast and responsive. It certainly doesn’t seem that it is actually that old.
It’s a great video, excellent review.. thank you 😊
my younger sisters still have their iPhone 8 and it’s working just fine for them. aside from poor battery life the iPhone 8 is still a fantastic smartphone that still can run ios 16 with no issues or bugs
I still have an iPhone 8 as my primary and only cell phone, it only now like in the last moth started having problems.
I used to have an iPhone 8 and I used it for full 2 and a half years before I upgraded to a 13 mini which I absolutely love and it was definitely worth upgrading but honestly the 8 was still holding up pretty well when I was upgrading from it and I could theoretically use it for some more time if I didn’t want to upgrade
I upgraded to the mini as well. Not because of speed. But the need for more than 256gb of storage. I upgraded from the 7
I also came from an 8 to the 13 mini too. The 8 had issues after having a few iOS updates
IPhone 8 and 8 plus are the last supported iPhones with 3D Touch too. The 8 series will forever be my favorite iPhone, especially in it’s beautiful gold color 😍😍. I really wish Apple would’ve made an SE Plus with the gold color of the 8. I’d buy that in a heart beat
Same. 🥲
Same here! I am still using my 8 and 8 Plus (I have both), in beautiful gold colour 😍
XS will be the last 3D touch supported iphone not the 8.
@@fijiwill2237 yup, i was about to comment that.
I main the iPhone 13 in blue but I’m starting to collect iPhones because I love tech and I recently got the iPhone 8 in silver for refurbished which is very good condition for a 2017 phone
I love it because that’s my Christmas present from my other half. Was so happy
Still rocking my 1st gen iPhone SE, I see no need to change currently it still meets all my needs, maybe one day I'll upgrade to the latest SE. My EX had a 12 pro and I cannot get around not having a home button, I'm also not a fan of larger phones, even the 8 and newer SE are a bit big for me (ironic as I'm 6ft 4 and have absolutely huge hands, my SE isn't much bigger than my middle finger)
my mom had the iPhone 6s Plus until 2022 so I made her upgrade to the iPhone 11 Pro. My dad had the iPhone 7 Plus until 2022 so I made him upgrade to the iPhone XS.
The reason I made them upgrade is because they had outdated phones that had issues. My dad‘s phone was literally bent but still working and the vibration motor came off and you can hear it rattling around inside the phone which meant it either came unplugged or the ribbon cable broke , which also meant that the fake home button didn’t feel like a home button so you couldn’t tell how to press the button although my dad got used to it like that. My mom‘s iPhone still has the physical home button and not the fake home button but I had issues with Reception and car quality which really needed to be fixed. The more important aspect of why I made them upgrade their phones because they were both charging on phones almost all the time and I got tired of watching that especially knowing that I had a brand new phone right now almost never charge, so I’m one of them to have new devices with efficient, batteries capacities and with good battery health. So they got new refurbished phones.
I've been using the iPhone 8 on a daily basis for the past two and a half years, and aside from the battery issue and the lack of Night Mode photography, it's a solid phone. I got a good operating system, good build quality, and wireless charging, and it's small and perfect for one-handed use.
I'm using an iphone 8, and i've been very happy with it. Camera takes very nice pictures, i enjoy the touch id. I do sometimes wish for a bigger size screen when i try to read, and the main issue is the battery life is suffering. I definitely need to charge it at twice during the day. I don't know what to upgrade to though without having to spend an insane amount of money
Got my I8 in December 2017 and still work perfectly! Always updated and changed battery and charging socket; need esim now so likely will get I13 mini but absolutely will keep I8 as backup
Just bought the iphone 8 3 weeks ago. Its running ios16. Its great. It does not feel like its lacking. I bought it refurbished so the battery is not long lasting depending on how I use it, but I always have a charger around and it charges fast.
Very similar situation for my son. I recently bought him a refurbished 8 through Backmarket, and it's get. My son is very happy, and the battery lasts all day.
@@kings17court is it a good recommendation please?
@@Ben-qd6ej I would say yes. My son is totally happy, it does everything great, and the battery life gets him through the day.
@@kings17court Ok thanks
Thanks for the video 👍👊
My main iPhone is an iPhone 11 as of right now (currently on the latest beta). I do have an iPhone 8 around, unfortunately the screen is broken. I first bought it in 2018 and used it until late 2019. The phone was performing very nicely and every day was a pleasure to use. Even though it's broken, I want to keep it, since it runs iOS 13.3.1, a very old version of software that still has the old widgets and the classic style notifications (i dont like the ios 15 style notifications as much). It's something you would really like to look back. Something you would always keep, considering the fact that Apple doesn't want you to downgrade your device...
I had the iPhone 8 until the summer of 2022 and it’s battery definitely lacked most of the time. I’m glad to have upgraded to the 13, but I still wish I had the home button
i love this video it really helped me trying to buy a iphone 8 and i did not know it had IOS 16 thanks [very good video btw]
I had an iPhone 8 for three years before recently upgrading to an 11. I always found its camera to be good. The phone itself worked well until I updated it to iOS 16; it then became laggy and I sometimes had to push the power button a few times for it to turn on. The last month or so that I had it its battery became very weak, and I had to have it plugged in almost constantly, but that I blame on having it for so long. It was a good phone until my last months of having it!
I just got a 14 pro and I’m missing my iPhone 8 so bad! I was so used to the home button and the terrible battery life.. In general, I think we don’t see major changes when we upgrade our iPhones nowadays.
If you don’t see major changes why the hell did you buy the 14 pro but not the SE? 😂
You got major changes from the 8 to the 14 Pro though
@@emilsecker7881 This is what I’m trying to say though!
@@SimonGhostRiley96 I figured that
I'm using the 2020 SE on iOS 16.2 and I have a 2016 SE and iPhone 7 both running iOS 15.7.2 .... So far I'm not seeing anything about iOS 16 that makes me prefer it over iOS 15 as determined by my usage with these 3 particular models... I am happy that the 2016 SE and iPhone 7 have been getting security updates
I still have my iPhone 8 256gb and use it . Battery life is bad , but honestly I really still like the feel and design of it . I did upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro though . I got the pro mostly as a gift to myself and for the battery .Plus I thought I couldn’t really keep rebelling against face ID . Even though I could have gotten one of the SE ‘s it just felt like my 8 was better. They didn’t have that many more features that I needed .I’m not sure how long the 8 will get upgrades but it’s a good back up phone .
I’m using an iPhone 8 it’s still holds up pretty snappy battery health 89%
I used an iPhone 8 Plus from October 2020 to May 2022. Even this year it’s still a solid phone, but with battery life and it’s iOS version nearing EOL, I was very happy to upgrade to my current iPhone 12.
I still have my iPhone 8 Plus! I got it 4 years ago, but unfortunately, it's pretty close to EOL and it's also in pretty bad shape, so I will have to replace it pretty soon. It has lasted me through so much, and I love it. I'm sad to let it go.
I have had my iPhone 8 since 2018 and have enjoyed using it for it "small" form factor. It still feels snappy to use and I like iOS 14.8.1 that I am on now. Although I am contemplating an upgrade because I want a better camera (especially to take night sky photos) and my battery has degraded to 75% its initial capacity.
I know I can get a new battery in there for like $80, but I really want a nicer camera so I am contemplating upgrading to an iPhone 13 mini or SE (3rd gen).
I'm still using an 8 and do plan upgrading next year sometime. The software is completely fine with no caviats and everything runs as it should, but my battery being on 75% is pretty rough and can only give me about 2.5 hour usage PER CHARGE. that is VERY bad. that's the only reason why I want to upgrade, other than that, everything is honestly still good.
Another great video just got the SE 3 love it would love to see Touch ID move to the power button like on the iPad Air for those of us who prefer Touch ID
What about cases tho they cover the power button
In late October, I upgraded from the iPhone SE 2020 (128GB, black) to the 512GB Space Black iPhone 14 Pro Max. I don’t look back at all but I still use my old SE daily for other tasks. For example, if I’m playing a game on my 14PM, I use my SE to watch TH-cam videos. I have TH-cam premium so I can use Picture in Picture, but I’d rather just use a device specifically for that so the video overlay doesn’t get in the way of UI elements.
Maybe buy a laptop
@@SparkySlow I had 3 MacBooks, broke them all 😬🤣
To be honest though, they were all pretty old and ruined anyway.
coincidentally, i needed this…
I use a 256 gig 8Plus refurbed by Apple. I use it as a back up to my SE 2022. ios 16 really screwed it up, hope another update brings it back to the way it was on 15.7.
Had an 8 since it came out upgrades to 14 pro now great phone.
I still have my 8 and I got the battery changed and I still had great battery life
I have an iPhone 12 now, but before this I had an iPhone 8 Plus. And it was honestly one of my favorite phones I’ve ever had
Good review 🎉
i’m on the iphone 8p upgrading to the iphone 12 and its actually pretty good, sometimes lag (storage) and crashes (storage) are pretty annoying but its still usable and pretty well actually
Longtime iPhone 8 user, bought it on launch week and used it until mid 2022 with the iPhone 13 mini because I loved the small form factor so much. In fact I still use my 8 as a backup phone and it's really not that much slower than the new A15 !
13Mini is what I did, it's a good upgrade. I'm still keeping the 8 as backup and extra ipod device. I'm getting a new battery installed before they raise the price.
Tja how fast do you want your google hahahha
This is what I’m using right now. Entertaining level into apple. Been on android for years now.
I just stopped using my 2016 SE and upgraded to a 13 mini, it was tough putting that phone back in its big charger included box.
I still love iPhone 7 and 8, using an iPhone 7 to this day still peforming good
i am still using my 8 plus from 4 years ago. I will get a upgrade next year but still its working great with the new battery i got.
We got a refurbised iPhonw 8 for my dad because he needed a phone after refusing to get one for a while. He was using it regularly until the home button stopped working. Luckily the site we bought the phone from offered a warranty on the refurbished phones they sell and so we were able to make a waranty claim on it so we could get another phone instead.
Thanks for a positive review, I’m sick and tired of reviewers that use nothing but the iPhone 14 Pro trashing my home button on my iPhone 8. I had a new battery installed on my iPhone 8 in January 2022 and it’s down to 94% health but it’s very strong and I’m getting especially good battery life since downloading 16.2 yesterday. The phone runs great. My next phone will be an SE3 because I don’t want to pay $2000 in Canada for a 14 Pro.
Bro wait for se4 pls , se3 is not worth at all
i don’t understand how people can deal with the batteries in these old iphones. i kill my 14 pro battery at least twice in a day. i’m a heavy user yes, so i guess if you’re not a heavy user an older iphone is fine. all depends on the user.
@@ilyasg2108 Oh, I’m a heavy user buddy 55 apps, including the new Mastodon, which is the new Twitter. There are chargers everywhere in the car by the couch at the office battery packs you can carry around Mophie juice packs. Actually on the new iOS 16.2 I’m getting really good battery life but there’s chargers everywhere dude
@@nikolamaglov4328 SE4 might have a different chassis design and since I have four OtterBox Defenders ($200 + Cdn)that fit everything from the iPhone 7 to the SE three, the SE three is certainly new enough for me and good for about another five or six years of updates
@@RJtoon1 i have 278 apps and do 14-16 hours of SOT a day
I still have a huge soft spot for this classic iPhone design. Wouldn't mind if they keep this one around and release a SE that's more like the iPhone XR at the same time.
Yes! My wife loves the smaller iphones and has had both the SE and SE 2020 (still using), but I personally think the new SE should go to the current all screen design it truly would be amazing if they offered both.
I suppose the 13 mini sort of was that? Can’t say I know a ton about that phone. I used to tell myself (like my wife) that I would never enjoy a larger screen when I had a 6S. Went to an 11 Pro and never looked back and now on a 13 Pro lol I think this is perfect!
I still used an iPhone 8 until a few months ago. Now using the 2022 SE and hope it lasts just as long.
I only recently got one and it has been great performance-wise, although the battery took a hit when iOS 16 came out.
I miss the iPhone 8’s gold colour with the off white looking back. Favourite phone colour of all time, that said Sierra blue on my iPhone 13 pro looks pretty good too.
i too have the sierra blue 13 im looking into jailbreaking it to test the limits of iOS 16
I had this phone in product red. Loved the color and was the perfect upgrade from my iPhone 6. After a few years I traded it for an iPhone12.
great video
I wish they would bring back that color, it's so beautiful
Still using it today, bought it in 2017 £800, great phone!
I’m using the iPhone 8 now. In fact, I’ve had it since January 2018. It’s great, I love it. The battery is dead. I already changed it, but it was a very bad one, and needs to be changed again already. I didn’t update to iOS 16, but maybe I will. Probably just need to take care of the battery first. I love my phone, and wish I don’t need to replace it so soon
I have the 8 plus in white/gold, it looks great and it's still going strong, despite the ios 16 taking a hit on battery life and performance. Mine is still still usable because the battery is still good and it's fast enough, though opening apps take a little longer than before. The camera is decent but there are newer models with much better image quality. I'd say it's no longer worth buying, probably it's the last year of support and it won't last long after that. I wish the iPhone SE still had a white front as the 8 has, I know most people hate the bezels and the black front helps hiding it, but in white is very elegant, that's why I chose it.
Great information. My 8 Plus has a battery health of 80%. But with each iOS 16 upgrade, currently 16.3 beta 1, the battery life gets less and less. From 100% to about 50% in a few hours. Mostly texting and play some music.
The battery is obviously the weak point, just get that replaced (soon, before the price hike!).
I have the Google Pixel 4a as my personal phone. I needed a second phone for my work sim so I bought the iPhone 8, and boy it is amazing. I'm using it even more often than my Google Pixel 4a nowadays. It's a pretty solid phone.
Just gifted my mother with basically a brand new iPhone 8 and she loves it. She had a 16gb 6S with the original battery from 2015. (She doesn’t do much on her phone - and loves the “classic” iPhone design more than the modern iPhone designs). I happened to get this iPhone 8 from Verizon back when they had a get one free promo with a new line. Never really used the phone and it sat in a closet for a few years - so she got an 8 with 99% battery health/no scratches with the original box.
its cool that the SE 2020 is basically the same but newer
And SE 2022 lol
Who’s here after Apple stopped supporting the iPhone 8 in iOS 17?
The 8+ was a superb daily driver until April when I switched.
One of my favorite looking iPhones as well
I have an iPhone 8 and my battery usage is down to 85% but this has never bothered me. I love this phone but the only thing I think isn’t the best is the camera at night time. In the day it is fine and i like it but it is pretty terrible once it gets dark. I love it, it’s so much easier to hold than the newer iphones and I probably prefer it over some new models❤
I currently have an iPhone 13 but laying around in a drawer theres my iPhone 8 still running iOS 11 1.0 since the battery inflated only 3 months after getting it brand new back in late 2017 and never got to fix it but i still kept it. I didn't care so much, i was really mad but still didn't care my brand new phone died at 3 months since i had a backup older iPhone with even more space and months later got a newer phone so i never had time to enjoy it during its lifespan but ill try to bring it back to life just to see how fluid it was running its native OS and to see what 11yo me had in there
TBH your intro is ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just got my IPhone 8 yesterday on Friday
Both my iphone 8s are working amazingly i dont see the battery degredatuon as an issue since they last me all day with my moderate usage and low brightness but also they are running ios 13&14 but they still work so well for me
Watching this on an 8+ with a new battery works great
My phone, the XR, is only one year newer. That’s weird to realize, the two phones feel a world apart and yet they’re both the baseline model for their generation, one for 2018 and one for 2017.
And, my phone only being about 7 months newer than the 8 was when you made this video, it feels about how you described the 8 here - it’s functional, it gets the job done, there’s not much a newer phone can do that mine *can’t*, but having just bought a 2022 iPad Air it became apparent how much slower my phone is than Apple’s modern processors.
So, I’m planning on upgrading my phone soon, but there’s no rush. If the 15 has a USB C port like is rumored, that’ll be a great time to upgrade and finally have all my devices use the same plug - but, in the meantime, my almost-5-year-old XR holds up well, does everything I want it to (other than I often find myself wanting to use Optical Zoom which it doesn’t have), the battery still usually gets me through the day with just one charge overnight, and, well, I’m happy with it :) it was a great purchase for $800, that works out to less than $14 a month if I get a new phone in September.
Hello 91Tech, nice review man! I have just bought an IPhone 8 with 77% max capacity. I didn’t know much about batteries until now. I will use the phone for some videos. Texts and calls. What do you say? Thanks in advance.
Still got the iPhone 8 to this day and I will say, I would highly recommend to many people that's going for a budget.
My first iPhone I ever bought was iPhone 8 in December 2018. Work until September 2020.
Only ever really used iPhones and using an iPhone 8 since around 2019 I think, I got it second hand from my niece and she kept it in good condition and only gave it away to upgrade at the time. I can’t complain overall, been a good reliable phone but definitely seeing the battery life going down, it’s at 75% now when early this year it was around 80 or 85%, and it gets a tad bit warm when charging now, i am avoiding updating to IOS 16 cause fear that will make the battery even worse.
can’t wait for 8 plus video, bloody brilliant device
Thank you!..using an iphone 8 but having lots of problems with speaker cutting out on calls (not playing recordings/livestreaming radio etc) - any suggestions?
I'm using an iPhone 8 since 2018 and despite its lower and lower battery lifespan, it's still doing the job very well. It just looks small in comparison with the other phones of many brands.
Hi, at what capacity you’re are using the Iphone, I mean what percentage is your battery and how many hours it lasts for phone calls , texts and videos? Cheers
Loved my iPhone 8 lasted me 3 and 1/2 yrs. Never ran into any issues with speed and performance it was just the battery had run its course
I still use an iPhone 8 and I love it! The feel is still very slick
My grandma uses a 8 plus for 3 years now, it’s fantastic for her!
I can’t believe the iPhone 8 is already 5 years old, I had the iPhone 8 Plus back in 2018
Mum has a Boost refurb iPhone 8 that I got her last year. Paid about $279 for it from memory. Had a brand new battery fitted, and was otherwise pretty much as-new. While I wouldn't buy one for myself, for someone like her who just needs a basic smartphone thats a bit of a step up from the old Windows phone she was on before, its perfect.
Got my iphone 8 last 2020 I had it for 2 years til’ I sold it last September. Now, I got iphone 12. I miss my iphone 8 so bad. Love the size and the touch ID.
I still have an iPhone 8 in silver grey. I don’t used it anymore. I also have iPhone SE 2. I even gotten an iPhone 14 for 3 weeks now.
Low light are still great from iPhone 8bejst are you taking about.
Watching this video on my iPhone 8 :D
As for the battery, it usually holds up for a day, for example, it was at full charge this morning and now it’s 10pm and i still have around 35%! I think Its important to notice but I don’t use my phone that much especially when I have school, so that’s not really an accurate measurement. It still does the job and I’ll change it when the phone will start to get real slow.
My cousin has a 8 plus and I think it’s the best design iPhone of all time plus the camera looks really cool and the home button is awesome. I wish this phone wasn’t so old it’s a shame because I really want one with like a a13 or A12 Bionic chip inside it
I’ve been considering purchasing an iPhone 8+ as a backup phone should my current one fail. Also it happened to be the first iPhone I ever owned.
I miss using my 8 plus that was a good phone
