I have a 12 pro max, and would go for a a 8, but its the updates that worry me. A 5 year old iphone is still powerful as a current mid range phone from samsung or similar.
I got an iPhone 8 for $50. It’s great!! I’m gonna get a higher capacity battery installed and get a battery case just to help. Also I carry around a proper 10k mah battery pack so I’m good. Only wish I had a wireless charger laying around. Can’t wait to try that feature
I still have my iPhone 8 I bought brand new. It still works and I use it everyday with no problems or battery lag amazingly. Probably going to "upgrade" soon to the iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 though.
iPhone 8 have more newer features than iPhone 7. iPhone 8 is basically an iPhone SE Second generation which is basically an iPhone SE third generation. the era of iPhone 7 have gone.
And iPhone SE 2nd gen is an iPhone 8 that’s done right especially the camera, it can support smart hdr through a newer chipset but never on the 8. It is an iPhone 8 without vulnerability flaws and with a powerful Neural Engine features
Unless you care about software upgrades and accepting the fact that this phone officially will no longer get iOS17, the iPhone 8 is still a good phone to get for the price that it is now, especially if you're slowly getting into the Apple Ecosystem. This is currently my back up phone and I do less things on it except for the major essentials -- calls, texts, email, and when needed, GPS via Apple CarPlay. It's about time to start minimalizing my phone use.
At least with the SE2020, your muscle memory is still intact. You wouldn't need to learn a new form factor. You'd still got Touch ID. Despite your 8 Plus not getting iOS 17, you can still use it as a back up phone, or something else like an iPod, dash cam, voice recorder, media consumption, etc. That way, your SE battery life can last longer.
Nice video. What's not to like about a Nirvana t-shirt too. Was thinking about an 8 in Australia ($199Au), but I think I will buy a budget 5G device. The camera isn't important to me, but I will try to get a 5G with at least one decent main shooter as you wisely suggest. Ciao.

I am sick of people wanting a million cameras but they dont do anything with those cameras except picture s of like food and shit. The only people who have thr right to complain about one lens are professionals who actually do something with them other leneses.
I’m still rocking the 8 right now does the job no need to upgrade just yet
I’d legit still get this in 2023.

When I found out my 8 Plus wasn’t getting iOS 17, I upgraded to the SE 2020

I would get a iPhone SE 2 and it would be more powerful and newer so it will last longer that’s the same price
I’m rocking the xs
just buy an se 2 if you want a small phone with a button
The last iPhone getting the iOS 16 for final updates after iOS 17 is releases.
first comment and yeah I think it's ifht for 2023, some of my friends still got them

Good video, i need that shirt ❤
It’s about 6 years that all new processors are useless for people that simply use phone for normal everyday thing. Why people buy them it’s a mistery
this test isnt really accurate since your not on ios 16 so yk
It’s 2024 buddy
can you install banking application on that thing?
Me watching this video on my iPhone 8 🥴😏
My iphone 8 doesn't work anymore that's why I changed to a 11 pro max
