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.

Terrence Benjamin I have an android and I don't like it. System is unstable and apps keep crashing or freezing, and I have a Oneplus 3 with 6 gigs of ram and a 820 processor. I feel like lag isn't one of the things I should be experiencing (while browsing). Lots of thermal throttling too.

Dennis Xu okay. I had android before iOS and if the same stuff is still happening from when I used to have it then I will stay with apple for my phone. I might get the pixel 2XL or a Note 8. But I am leaning away from the Note 8 because it’s redundant

Terrence Benjamin Note 8 is a good phone but with any Samsung, they get left in the dust when it comes to updates in less than 2, maybe 1 year. The Pixel would definitely be a smoother running phone with constant updates, but that smaller Pixel 2 is fugly.

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?
Hi brother, Clarify one thing. If you put your iphone on a table facing the back camera downward will the glass of camera get scratch ? If so, whats your take on that ? I am asking because the back camera lense is raised from the back surface . Thank You...
is it true that the camera in 8 plus is better than the 8?cause i was thinking about getting the 8 cause the size ,plus is way big for me but im really wondering if the camera really makes a different here? cause i never used plus before
It's such the most expensive "plan B" that I've ever known 😂

Can you still use wireless charging with a dbrand skin?
Is the front camera wider?? I haven’t noticed so far?
I had the 6s and upgraded to the 8 and a series 3 watch and I don’t see feel a difference in speed? Love it though💯
Hi bro. Should i buy iphone 8 or iphone 7 plus. Plz suggest me any body. I like small size mobile with great camera.
I didn't realize the normal 8 had stereo speakers as well~
please tell me that is the display leading to eye strain
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.
Hi, my Apple Watch „colling failed” - why?
So where's the dbrand grip that they're saying?
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
Very well constructed and informative video. Very good :)
What’s the interior design app?
As usual great review....but I’m still not over the line which iPhone to choose....7 or 8 + or no +
Should we buy it afer lauch of new iphones.
Anyone know a solution for aluminum oxidation and marks like those in the video?
What read your user interaction with iOS 11? Seems everyone is having problems.
Does it have 3d touch?
What’s the Wearher app on the home screen?
Nice review Jaime. I appreciated your creative way to demonstrate a product review..
Nice review, thanks!
Expected some comment on OIS.in the review?first time smaller phone got OIS.did that improve image stability?
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.

the 8 couldn’t be a big upgrade because it’s made to upsell the X. Just like how the Tesla model 3 is cheaper than the model S but it’s missing a lot of stuff to make ppl want the model s more even if lost can’t afford it. Same exact marketing of iPhone 8 and X

HomeAutomationX You see, the iphone X is supposed to be the iphone 8, however, because its such a large change from standard iPhone models and because its the anniversary; apple saw an opportunity to cash out, they released the iphone 8 as a half step to which they could use to springboard the price of the iPhone X, so sadly; the answer is simply a marketing move
I love the Iphone 6 7 8 design Awesome.. Its compact
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..

Damian A Wow that’s incredible for such a small battery. Care to share your general usage habits? Like how much are you on WiFi instead of LTE. Do you use any social apps like Snapchat or Twitter. How much media consumption do you do? Do you have anything that could do low power location tracking all the time, such as the thing that automatically saves your parking location? Do you use auto brightness?
I’d like to see how this holds up in terms of battery life (after the buzz) .. I use a 7 plus, so I upgraded my iPad Air 1 to an iPad Pro 10.5 this year .. I feel these devices would easily hold up for another 3 years or so, hassle free ..!
What the background music name?
this in 64 gb or a 7 plus in 32 gb??
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.
Great video!

Awesome Review..brother. i like your review.
Had a 7plus thought I wanted an S8 returned it after a week and have a regular 8. The smaller one doesn’t bother me one bit. It’s great. Works well with my little hands too. Lol.
Excellent Review
Great review! I’ll be getting one for Christmas! Also Jaime you really need some new stock music for your videos!!!

i am a die hard android fan but yes i agree with that statement. Ive generally always suggest android phones but if you had to pick an iphone you definitely go with the plus version. that being said, i think the iphone 8+ would have been a really great option if it had a regular 16:9 oled screen! only reason they probably didnt do that is because you wouldnt really have any reason to spend 300$ more on the 10
When I click on a pocketnow video I always get an ad by Mr. Mobile which makes me go there instead of watching this.

Why iphone8 dosn't provide Dual camera like Iphone 8 plus
Great Video!
Wait, do you mean the selfie camera has a wider angle than the previous iphones ?
Im switching to an iphone from android. Finally! As someone who doesn't have an ass ton of cash to lay down, do you think the 6s is a solid budget option compared to apples other offerings? Mind you im a first time iphone user. Software stability and battery life is my most important features to me. Opinions please.
What is your name? Didn’t catch it.
I'm coming from the 6s Plus and got myself the 8 Plus... no regrets here! Man the speakers on the 8 Plus ROCK! These speakers on this phone will easily fill a small to medium size room. The top cut out on the X turned me off... I'll just wait to see if Apple will really give us a true bezel to bezel screen in the next year or two.
fast charge is possible with the 12w iPad charger and that’s $15 at target right now.
Great review jaime...👌🏻

The move with releasing the 8 and 10 is definitely a strategic one. Marketing for sure and also to provide that comfort to users who want the latest quality apple product without the changes that come with the 10, Also that price tag on the ten is insane. I literally bought a MacBook the other day for the same price.
Need minimum 256gig storage for music. No updates to itouch or iPad mini on the horizon, and SE Ver 2 will only have 128gig from what is rumored. So iPhone 8 / 8+ or iPad Pro are my only realistic options.
Would go for the 8 Plus due to that 1080p display
two days before iphone X came out i bought an iphone 8:)

Fingerprint reader under the screens the way of the future. The V30 and the like are the only phones that have a decent placement for the time being

I actually brought this phone for $380 on Saturday, January 12, 2019 off Letgo in rose gold 64 GB I like it’s compact like the 7 portable powerful with the A11 chip like the X has wireless charging water and dust resistant and is a good upgrade from my iPhone 7 128 GB space grey
I bought the 8 plus last week. Since its just about the last modern phone we'll ever see with an LCD screen and a home button, I guess i'll be keeping it for eternity. No seriously. It's the best phone i've ever owned and will probably be the last until it damn well breaks into bits. I'm not buying any phone that is OLED or without a home button.

After spending considerable time learning about all the new wiz-bang phones to hit the market, I have decided that Apple's new iPhone 8 series might be a sleeper. The 8 and larger 8 Plus are some of the best smartphones we have seen to date. And, the bezels that are being sourly criticized actually do serve a practical function. The user can comfortably hold the phone in landscape with a place to rest one's thumbs. In my opinion, an underrated feature. All in all, a quietly great phone.
music ?????????
Guys i need help iPhone 8 or Huawei P20
I have the 8 not plus. I have never used any iPhone that the charge last as much as the 8
I just bought this phone last week due to its classic design/less price, additionally I really not used to the notch design even if its already the norm today. I find it obstructive to my eyes somehow hahaha
Definitely my plan A and I love it ! ❤️❤️
U didn t talk about the 'no headphone jack'😐
Best iPhone 8 review on KZread, thanks for staying on topic, it’s so annoying that all other iPhone 8 reviews are actually about the iPhone8 Plus! This is the perfect phone for me, I don’t need the attention or the need to show off with a X. This phone is the perfect size and just as powerful in all the areas that count.
I'm still saving my money for the 6s Now I'm using the Iphone5s
Plz tell me anybody . Should i buy iphone 7 plus or iphone 8 ??????

Honestly, all the "1080p 240fps" footage I've seen captured on either the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus looks so compressed as to make it look like 480p...
4k @60 FPS is all about the file compression. Switch off the new compression format and it disables the 4k 60 to 4k 30 ... Nothing magic.

ron cosby you can’t turn it off and it’s not that easy because Samsung tried to do it they even put it on their website that the note 8 will be able to record at 4K - 60 but they couldn’t
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.
Upgrading from iPhone 5 sounds fun here
The wanted to push the 10 and cover the price range so it pretty much did it's work
Also what apple should of done was made the iPhone 8 have the screen go to the top like the x but keep the bottom bezel for touch Id for people who like touch id
Just got it ... late I know and will replace my Trusty SE
The only positive thing about Apple post Steve Jobs is the processing power... Software is buggy at first release (need bug fixes), features have already existed long before but sometimes better implemented than others.
iOS 11 draines battery like crazy and according to Pocket Now battery time is better then ever. Something isn't right here?
Waiting for a good deal to pop up. Need a BOGO that includes the wireless charger or in store credit to buy said charger.
I was planning to buy a iphone this year (from a galaxy s6) but from all the things i have seen this year a "upgrade" to apple is completely useless my galaxy s6 has a 1440p oled screen while the iphone 8 still doesnt have it the only thing i like about apple is the optimisation and the software what can be jailbreaked now i am waiting for the release of the htc u11 plus in hope that i do get satisfied
