Released back in 2017, the iPhone 8 was kind of overshadowed by the newer, higher-end iPhone X, however, that didn't stop it from picking up a LOT of steam, causing a lot of people to buy it. That said though, all these years later, I was interested to find out whether or not you can use the iPhone 8 as your ONLY phone for day-to-day life. Is it still a good experience?

Still rocking my 8 Plus since 2017. Using it everyday and still gets the job done despite wanting a bigger and better screen and a better battery life . I haven’t replaced it’s battery and it has 75% of its original capacity

Using a Product Red 8 Plus and it's a great phone.
I don’t feel the design dated I feel the design doesn’t get old in my eyes feels so classy, this phone does better than most androids at price of 300+, the screen looks so good the camera looks so good that never fails, it feels more premium to hold than most androids that feel plastic
Hi! A joyful review as ever :) I just bought the iPhone 8 for my daughter as her first phone. I know she will enjoy using it and I feel reassured as a parent because an iPhone is not as easily hackable as an Android, bar human error. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
thanks for this review, i really loved it. I'm getting one tomorrow
I just parted ways with my iPhone 8 a few months back. Rarely used a case with it, never dropped it but 2 weeks before I got my new phone, dropped it with a case on, and shattered the screen. iOS 15 was just too much for it. It got slow, the battery didn't hold a charge after being replaced once, but it still was an awesome phone. Rocking an iPhone 13 mini now, I love the phone, but there's just something about the iPhone 8 being so comfortable in hand.
It’s fun taking/ editing photos with my iPhone 8. I recently added the Focos camera app to try the bokeh effect on my photos. Solid, basic iPhone for my daily use.
Can I just say...Look at those lashes!!! 🤩And also, thank you for this video!
Nice video. I would love to have this size of iPhone someday. I hate the wider modern phones today like more than 5.5 inches.
I love your videos man. Your so cool. Keep going!

My girlfriend was doing it up until early 2021 i believe. She dropped it and broke the screen, had it repaired by a shop that didn’t do a good job. She then decided to get a new one. She would’ve likely still have been using it haven’t it broke. Great phone.
My mum's still rocking my iPhone 6s 32gb. She uses is for texting , calling and Facebook so it's perfect for her . Perfect size and works wonders

I would say so, my iPhone XR recently just died, it became untrustworthy and I could no longer rely on it anymore. Random boot looping, NFC issues etc, so I’ve gone back to my old phone, the iPhone 8, good phone, even if my battery health is a little trashed. Can’t wait to get a 13 tho :)

From this video you can absolutely know “it will get the job done” 😂 nice video 👍🏻
Bought one back in January 2021 after watching your videos, and I've loved the experience so far! The only problems I have are the lack of 5G (I'm a telecom engineer) and the app crashes / slowdowns when handling large files (onedrive for example). Battery life is okay for me (replaced the battery for 55€ through apple), and photography is really nice, especially in daylight. I would also say that the 'stereo' speakers are not that great, but I think this has to do with my earpiece being either defective or very clogged up.

Using one. Except for the screen which is kinda small, sometimes affecting my reading or watching experience and the battery, it’s okay for me. I even do PUBG sometimes on this phone 😂.
one of most amazing , classy and eye-catching design this device has !! And the A11 chip is a good to go chipset for 2023 .
What a character 😅 loved the vídeo! Main idea to be kept of this as said over and over in the vídeo : get’s the job done! I own one 8 and came from a 7 (what a phone) and the 8 is faster and stronger i like it but in design… the 7 is just a thin blade ❤️ the 8 is fat and heavier
The video I was looking 4 + 1 sub lad
Love this phone. Have it and will keep it. 😊

How long does the battery last you in a day before you have to charge again?
Job done ✔️
Used it for 3,5 years and simply had to switch from it as the battery got worse as well as it became too laggy as of iOS 15.5 It’s actually bizarre how quickly it became frustrating to use in the past couple of months. It still looks amazing though. I’d say it looks better than it performs. A great phone though.
@iustin1658

I think the lag may be from the battery, I have a 7 and it's quite ok, unless I play music on apple music and do something a bit more procesor intensive, cause then it kinda dies, there's something wrong with apple music

If the battery is bad, the iPhone slowes the cpu speed down to save the battery. You can easily replace it with pentalobe and crosshead screwdriver.
Batteries aren't too hard to replace as long as you have a few good tools. They are really cheap too, around $10 for a new battery!

I bought my iPhone 8 late in Dec. 2019. I was using it just fine until this year it started glitching and turning off randomly, freezing the screen, the battery sucked, and the microphone broke down this month, although not getting it wet or anything. I ended up needing to buy a new phone, so I wouldn’t recommend getting one in 2022.
