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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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)

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

Who’s here after Apple stopped supporting the iPhone 8 in iOS 17?

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

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.

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

I love it because that’s my Christmas present from my other half. Was so happy

It’s a great video, excellent review.. thank you 😊

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 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 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.

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 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'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 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.

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 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

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 KZread videos. I have KZread 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.

(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.

Had an 8 since it came out upgrades to 14 pro now great phone.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Same, though I upgraded to the iPhone 13, still have the 8, battery life is terrible but it is expected as I’ve been using it for 5 years straight and never changed the battery, it’s at 74%.

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.

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.

I inherited my 8 from my grandson who has had even a couple more fancy pants expensive phones since then. I received it with a cracked screen, got it replaced and never looked back. I keep the iOS updated and never have any problems. The battery says 77% and that it should be replaced but it seems to last plenty long enough for me. It takes a great pic as far as I am concerned, It's bigger than my iPhone 5 and original SE but I'm used to that now. I don't want to be lugging around some huge thing as I have a laptop and don't need to try to squeeze one in my pocket. My grandkids have not offered me any further hand-me-ups (downs?) so I guess I will hold off on buying something new until I really need to, my original iPhone SE still works but is bent from being slammed in the car door while in my unzipped jacket pocket.

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

I’m using an iPhone 8 it’s still holds up pretty snappy battery health 89%

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.

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.

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

Thanks for the video 👍👊

Have been using my iPhone 8 since March 2018 and i am still on all original hardware. Battery health is at 81% and it does drain rather quickly but for now I am perfectly fine with using it. What’s keeping me from upgrading is mostly the stupidly high prices for the new ones but I think that as soon as the latest version of iOS is dropped I will have to upgrade. I also might replace the battery once it drops below 80 but depending on when that happens it might not even be worth it if support is dropped next year, which I feel like will be the case. Still great Phone tho, as you said! Watched this video and typed this very comment on it!

Same here, battery 74% tho, and just recently my speakers became very low. Still won’t fix it nor replace the battery. I will be upgrading to iphone 14 pro or iphone 15 this year. This Iphone 8 was great with me for 5 years now, sadly I gotta change it soon.

@@bomenorange. I have bought the iPhone SE 3 since writing this comment. Same great form factor but better battery and performance. Though I must say I got it used and the battery is at 88% capacity it is still better than my 8 and it was dirt cheap for 220€. Even sold my iPhone 8 for 130€ so I basically got a phone upgrade for 90 bucks! Keep on hanging in there or look out for used phones, you can score some great deals :)

Hi, should be okay if the battery is at 77% percentage? I just bought it second hand.

I'm now using iphone 8 on ios 15.7 and i still in love with it. I love this design, i can use it easily with one hand. I also love the touch ID.

Whatever you do just dont update it man. Low 2gb ram doesnt do well on ios16

My first iPhone I ever bought was iPhone 8 in December 2018. Work until September 2020.

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.

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

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.

watching this vid on an iphone 8 and i would definitely agree with the main points in the video. Battery life was never really that good and has gotten pretty awful up to this point, however, the performance and user experience is solid still. It stutters and glitches and acts sluggish from time to time, but still gets the job done. Got me through all of highschool and hopefully it will get me through some of college.

Hay I really enjoyed this video ,mostly for reasons you may have already guest i m currently using an 8+ it’s my first iPhone and I have been using it for close to a year now where it is my first iPhone I always figured I was missing out on some thing with the newer models, but was never disappointed in the 8+, and I put it to work daily in was that would kill most androids,well, the 8+ never skips a beat The last update made a huge difference in the picture quality while speeding up in smoothing out its interface it’s beautiful and it works great, but like you said, the battery is on its out and a memory becomes A more precious resource every day but I love it for many reasons and would not trade it for anything less than a 14 pro after the last update I see no point😊❤❤❤❤

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.

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 still used an iPhone 8 until a few months ago. Now using the 2022 SE and hope it lasts just as long.

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

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.

I still have my iPhone 8 in space grey from 2018. Although the battery life is bad and its slow, I still love it. Hopefully it gets iOS 17

You could maybe get the battery replaced if battery health is bad. 🤔

I wish they would bring back that color, it's so beautiful

Still rocking iphone 8, apart from the battery life it’s great but it’s okay with a power-bank. Form factor is great for use and size is just perfect for me.

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 bought an iPhone 8 just under a month ago. It's been really good for me so far!

The 8+ was a superb daily driver until April when I switched.

Only troubling thing about the older phones is that they're running older hardware. Even installing a new battery won't give you what you would've had on the original OS the phone came with. Newer OS updates will drain the battery even more, since it's new software designed for new hardware, but running on older hardware. Now I'm actually thinking...how would new hardware run on older software? Would it be possible to run a significantly older iOS version on the 2022 iPhone SE? What would that battery life be like?

No, you can't install old iOS versions on new iPhones (same for MacOS and Macs). They would probably run really great, though.

I still use an iPhone 8 and I love it! The feel is still very slick

I had an iPhone 8 in 2019 and when my apple care ran out I ordered a “new” one and been using ever since Battery is ok it still streams good and I like the button lol

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.

Still using my iPhone 8 Plus along with my XS. I decided I’ll upgrade next year instead. Battery isn’t that great but the phones are still beautiful and still running strong👍🏼

Still using it today, bought it in 2017 £800, great phone!

My grandma uses a 8 plus for 3 years now, it’s fantastic for her!
