From a long time Android user: I just bought this (iphone 8 plus) phone. Let me tell y'all : this iPhone is amazing. The speed when using apps, using 4K video, and multi tasking is superb.
Me too that's why I hate the iPhone x and all the new iPhones like it why can't I keep the freaking home button they would sell more iPhones if they didn't get rid of the home button
I don’t know, but I kinda like the traditional design of this iPhone 8. Not a fan of the design of the iPhone X, it looks weird to me. Maybe it’s just me not adapting fast enough.
No bezels = Difficult to handle. I'm thinking this classic design of the Iphone may prove to be the most user friendly format once we get over the novelty of bezel-less design. After all, these phones are fundamentally about function in the hand.

Mads.1616 me too. I will never buy iphonex because of no home button. Its ugly and looks like a fucking Android.
I love my iPhone 8 plus.. I bought and used a Samsung S8 for three months and then decided to go back to an iPhone as I had always used them .. Personally I think I prefer the display on the iPhone, the camera is very excellent, my pictures look very natural .. the OS is rock solid and stable, I also feel more comfortable using this phone from a security standpoint, the phone is always with me so I do not lock it .. I am very happy and of course I am interested in looking at the iPhone 10 when it’s released, but I have no regrets at all with my purchase of this phone ..
There are so many free apps, it’s rare that you have to buy one unless it’s something that you find specifically that you want. If you buy them one still transfer him to any iOS device. You don’t have to buy them again
@Nakiya Allen I have had it for a month now and I have to say I really like it. It has a nice large screen which I need these days...the sound quality is really good for a phone. It is very fast as well......I have been with Cricket for a few years now and for us it was a great move. With the bills that I get I don't need a accounting degree to figure it out. Upgrading phones are just as easy. Go for it!!! They have all kinds of incentive plans.....from time to time 5 phones for under $100........
The 4s I have has a glass back and I AM still using it without any cracking issues but, it's time for an overdue upgrade. 8 plus here I come. 6 years tech shock coming LOL
Kevin Bukowski it could play nicer with iOS because I believe it has the old school home button(albeit tactic touch) technology which is in conflict with their new phones iOS technology. Hopefully iOS 14 is better. Not hold breath
Me too man! Mine comes in Wednesday. I had the 4 when it first came out years ago and hated it so I went back to Android. I've dabbled in different phones..LG..SAMSUNG..NOKIA..BLU..and I'm just not satisfied. Trying this Apple shit out for a lil while I guess 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great videos Aaron.I am from Ghana and have followed every single video you make on apple products for about 2 years now.Your reviews are great and broadens my knowledge about technology.Keep it up Bro.
About 80% of the negatives are so easily fixed. Like the back and how slippery it is and how easily it brakes because of the glass back, buy a otter box case or a defender. 1 generation behind isn't bad at all. The majority of the people will not have a 10 yet in 2-3 years after buying an 8 or 8+ you can upgrade so at max you will be 1 or maybe 2 generations behind which isn't bad.
Your negative things about the phone are not negative for me. My wife has one and she loves it. I'll be ordering one for me soon. Glass back - no issue - I'll use a silicone case Bezels - no issue - I don't care Design - no issue - I don't care TouchID is better and more convenint than faceID in my opinion. Camera is simply fantastic in this phone It has large screen, larger keyboard and this is very good. Bottom line: I love this model ! :-) It's expensive, yes it is, it's a premium phone, but I have a friend going to the US in December, he'll bring one for me, paid in USD instead of Euros= less expensive. :-) Thanks for the review. Cheers from Belgium.
@@BT_Spanky face id is 2 steps and much slower compared to touch ID. It's understandable that apple would remove physical buttons though seeing as their competitors removed them long before.
So glad I ditched my Samsung Galaxy S8 for the iPhone 8 Plus, no regrets at all. iOS is so much better and smoother to use than Android, but that’s my opinion anyway.
I actually don’t mind the bezels. You still get a nice decent size screen on the Plus and when I watch or play games in landscape orientation I like to hold my iPhone with each of my thumbs on the top and bottom bezel rather than holding it around the thin frame to avoid interrupting the screen. It’s just more comfortable to me. Also the iPhone design is just so well known now and is used in so many graphics. The look of it is such a classic.
I have to disagree with you. The 8 plus is not a tough sell. To me the iPhone X is the hard sell. Lets consider a couple of things. The first reason the X is a hard sell is the price. For the 64GB is $1.000 plus taxes and iCare your looking at a total price around $1,300. That is way to much for a phone. The 8 plus and X have the same camera, same chip set. The 8 plus has a bigger screen and a finger pring scanner. For me that is a big deal. The gets rid of the home button and finger print scanner. NO no no.... Plus the X has that big cut out at the top of it's screen. It will have to take away from the viewing pleasure. you can use your face to open your phone on the X. But if a person has a vision issue? How does that effect the ability to use the face feature? I mean for years straight out of the box the iPhone has been great for blind a people with vision issues. No one ever speaks of the accessibility features when reviewing a phone. I wonder why that is? I have an iPhone 8 plus and I love it. I can't justify spending that large amount on a phone. It's just not worth it for what you get. I know people complain about the design of the 8 and 8 Plus. But the function of the phones out weighs any issues with the design.
Comanche Viper Are you blind or visually impaired yourself? The reason I ask is because I am almost completely blind and have been wondering the same thing about the iPhone x. People are saying face ID is the way of the future, but I absolutely love fingerprint readers even though you cannot use them with gloves and whatnot. That's not a big deal for me and would much rather be able to use the phone as a blind individual without having to worry about how I angle the phone in order for it to read my face. By the way I do a lot of accessibility Tech videos, although it is mainly on Android as that is the phone type that I have right now. Contemplating getting the 8 plus and giving it a shot, however, that phone is still pretty pricey as well. Check out my videos if you are interested in accessibility videos :-)
Comanche Viper a honest comment finally.. I think the same and I'm going to go for 8 plus..it's been ages since I upgraded ..still using iPhone 6 with no slowdown like android phones..! Only thing is there is no amoled screen in 8plus like iphone x..!! Thanks for ur honest comment
I decided to cancel my order for the iPhone X and get this instead after seeing so many people having to deal with manufacturer defects. Like it or not, the X is currently in Gen1, and there are going to be problems when a completely new device is introduced. Best case scenario, there will be an X2 or XS released next year, with no launch issues, and people who bought the first gen X will be kicking themselves for not waiting. For now, the 8+ is imo the best iPhone you can get where you won't have to deal with Gen1 woes.
I'll be switching from a Galaxy S5 to this beast after years of Android. The security, power, and smoothness of ios and this phone has finally swayed me. Bezels don't bother me, I'm in that rare club that actually loves the design on this phone.
Buying it this week! Always a fan of the iPhone design with the home button. Don't really see myself using face ID all the time just to open my phone for a quick check or something.
I got the 8 Plus and overall I am happy. The glass actually makes the phone feel more substantial in the hand to the point I enjoy it out of a case. However, I have a Peel case on its way. There are two concerns I have on the X. Face ID tech is so new and I’m sure there’s going to be kinks. The other is that cutout at the top for all the sensors. I’ve seen full screen and that wrapping around that cutout looked annoying to me. I am curious what are you doing for your battery. I’m at 50 some percent late afternoon. Isn’t iOS 11 being a battery drain? I noticed ever since 11 it seems to go faster.
Keith I was going to wait for the X but got an 8 Plus instead, upgrading from a 6S Plus. Let Apple workout any kinks with the X and see what they have to offer next year or the year after.
Genio88 Microsoft’s Lumia 950XL had an iris scanner that captured a photo of just your eyes and used that 2D image to make a match. Face ID uses a dot projector to create an actual 3D map of your entire face, so a little different hahaha.
Yup, doing the exact same thing. Getting an 8 Plus, will wait a year or two to see the next models after the X, in which many of the kinks will be worked out. I honestly think and hope, that they'll get rid of the cut out at the top.
Just got the 8 Plus with the 256 gb memory and glad I am past the stage in my life where I have to have all things cutting edge Apple. Great phone; glad I got it over any of the X series.
Tbh if you're an android user this phone honestly isn't that bad. it's even better than most android flagships. Though I'd still prefer android because if the software. Apple nailed the hardware though.
still confused to buy iphone x or iphone 8 plus i will decide after 12 sep events hopefully i will go for 8 Plus or new upcoming model of iphone 9 with LCD panel.
It’s 2023 and I just purchased a jet black 8 plus 1 owner in like new condition for only $140.00. I bought it because my 7 plus has been slowing down and the battery only lasts a couple of hours on a full charge. The 8 plus is 2-3 times faster, and even with the original battery at 85% it will last 10X longer than my 7 plus. The 7 plus lived a long good life though. I still use it as a 2nd phone.
Great Review. However the camera tests was not accurate, i guess it’s UA-cam’s compression? Pictures and videos looks 10x sharper with more dynamic range on my 8 Plus.
Ty! You made it easy on me to make my decision. I’ll be holding on to my 7 plus! I feel that it is an iteration type of phone. So, I’ll be waiting for next year’s iPhone.
Concise and informative, as reviews should be. Really enjoyed watching and getting your point of view on the 8+. Personally, the classic design isn't a deterrent, however the glass back is cause for concern, though a good case solves that issue. The X is hardly worth the price of admission and the notch up top and missing home button are a no-go for me. Many thanks for this review and particularly for having some decent music in background. The absolutely dreadful music many reviews put on their videos now-a-days makes me click off of them instantly no matter how good the content otherwise. Cheers!
As for the price, the iPhone 8 plus is only 50 dollars more expensive than the seven plus from last year. In fact, its decently cheap compared to the Samsung Note 8 which Is 950 dollars, which is 150 more than the eight.
I don't think the upgrade is worth it if you own a 7s tho, you are paying for essentially wireless charging and a little bit more power (which iOS already does quite well). Personally, I've always been using Android and I love it, but I'm thinking about trying out iOS and this phone might be it.
I'm getting an 8 plus on monday. I don't like the thought of the 10 not having the home button. I like the home button. I'm not a big fan of facial recognition stuff so I'm certain I will be happy with the 8 plus. I currently have the 7 small so I will have to get used to the bigger screen but I think I'll manage.
...August 2020 - I had a very old Samsung android phone and bought the iPhone 8 plus - first time owning an iPhone ...so far, I'm pretty happy with it. It has 128 GB and it was $300. I still like the Samsung android phones, but I'm good with this purchase too.
I got the 8 Plus today from the Black Friday sale. Free upfront £36 a month with 100GB data and 256GB in Gold. I’m so excited I’ve had the 6s for 2 years, do not like how the X doesn’t have the home button, don’t think I’d be able to get used to it
I just got the 8 plus.. and I must say, I'm very much impressed with the battery life and performance.. Alap the camera.. But honestly, I don't like the front camera of the iPhones. I dont know why.
I got the 8 plus as i don’t think the difference to the x is worth 200 euros (in europe) plus the x has a larger screen but alot narrower, so i don’t think it’s a great experience. It’s not a plus sized phone.
I've just upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 8+ today and I love it. It was on offer so I snatched it up very quickly. I don't like any of the iPhone X's.
i dont like the iphone X's design tbh and i dont like how android manufacturers took the bezel less route, its just my personal opinion but most people i know do tend to find bezel less phones to looks sexier.
I loved my iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 11. I hate my iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 12. Do not update your iPhone. My user experience. Battery life on iOS 12 has decreased 35%+: My iPhone 8 Plus has been amazing on iOS 11.4.1. I was getting 10-12 hrs usage and my regular schedule was plunging in and taking off charger at 6 am and plugging it back in at 10 pm with 30-45% battery left. I had a ton of standby time as well. I chatted with an Apple support team and they told me if I didn’t update my iOS than my battery health will drop fast. So I took the plunge regretfully and updated to iOS 12.3.2. After 4 days of usage I do my typical routine; take my phone off charger at 6 am and at 6 pm I have 0% battery life now. It has to be from this update, I know it. Anyways, I have been chatting with Apple support team daily on this issue. They had me do a fresh clean install via iTunes. I did one 3 days ago. Than they checked my battery and my diagnostics on my phone. They have no explanation of why my battery has gotten so much worst. My battery health is at 96%. I also have AppleCare that expires in October 2019. I even chatted with an Apple engineer too and he said everything seemed okay. But yet it doesn’t last as long. I’m using the same apps, same usage (maybe a little less than before) and same settings. I actually turned off background app refresh today, which was the first. I doubt I’ll see any improvement though. Any help would be kindly appreciated. This is very frustrating as this phone use to be amazing on battery life and now is just like a regular iPhone 8.
Zollotech can you explain this? You said battery would be similar if not a little worst than iOS 11 to iOS 12. I’ve done everything you’ve said for better battery life from your videos. Did your takes a 35-40% decrease in life like mine did? I’m fighting Apple on this. They shouldn’t ruin battery like this with one update.
Love apple product a lot Using iphone 7 plus as my daily driver right now and will stick with it fro another couple years I also using galaxy s8 and the look is stunning Ios and andriod are good in different ways
Watching this from my iPhone 8+ and I absolutely love this phone !
B Dale what quality can view in

What about its battery?
good battery but take a long time to charge
I have one too! Like it pretty well and for me the battery lasts a while. I also have a mophie charging block thing and it charges it pretty fast
went from a 6 to a 8+, big upgrade and im loving it. I need a home button on my phone, the major reason i didnt wait for the X

Me too that's why I hate the iPhone x and all the new iPhones like it why can't I keep the freaking home button they would sell more iPhones if they didn't get rid of the home button
I don’t know, but I kinda like the traditional design of this iPhone 8. Not a fan of the design of the iPhone X, it looks weird to me. Maybe it’s just me not adapting fast enough.
M. Arbah Binamin I agree
I totally agree, I mean who wants a black bar on end while watching videos? Plus I rly love the home button

iPhone x is stuuuuuuuupid
I honestly don’t care for the iphone X, which is why I just ordered the 8plus

Jeremy Smith don't waste your money on the X dude iPhone 8 plus is good enough.
Do u have to pay for most or ur apps on the 8 plus and how much did u get it for ?

How's your 8plus now sir?
iPhone is not an iPhone without home button!

You didn't mention better sound quality listening to music or watching videos? That's a plus on the Plus! :)

TouchID is better and more convenint than faceID in my opinion.
Camera is simply fantastic in this phone
It has large screen, larger keyboard and this is very good.
Bottom line: I love this model ! :-)

have to agree with you , only thing is the bionics a11 processor that is so tempting but the battery is meh
I have the S9 but think I am going to jump ship on the next upgrade in 2020 when things are going to be in 5G.
I agree with you. I think I want an iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone XR
True but the only problem in iphones is the stupid battery
the battery on the 8 plus battery life is EXTREMELY Good

Bezels are better then u think a place to rest and grip your phone when watching videos or normal social media
OMG man your video quality. Especially when you watch this video on a iPhone plus model 🔥🔥
I love bezels! I can hold it comfortably while playing games or watching videos
Came across this review in recommendation, got an 8plus 2nd hand in 2020. Still a great phone. I don't mind the design.

Apple missed naming new phones completely.
They should be iPhone 7S, 7S Plus and 7 Pro.
Especially when you buy iPhone 8, and it looks like iPhone 6.
well they named it the iPhone X because its the 10th anniversary of the iPhone
Why didn´t they named it Iphone 9
Btw I phone 8 not like the 6s, the I phone 7 is the one who looks like I phone 6s
Buying it this week! Always a fan of the iPhone design with the home button. Don't really see myself using face ID all the time just to open my phone for a quick check or something.
Just got the 8plus today!
Just upgraded from iPhone 6s to the 8+ and I love this phone totally worth it
I got the 8 Plus and overall I am happy. The glass actually makes the phone feel more substantial in the hand to the point I enjoy it out of a case. However, I have a Peel case on its way. There are two concerns I have on the X. Face ID tech is so new and I’m sure there’s going to be kinks. The other is that cutout at the top for all the sensors. I’ve seen full screen and that wrapping around that cutout looked annoying to me. I am curious what are you doing for your battery. I’m at 50 some percent late afternoon. Isn’t iOS 11 being a battery drain? I noticed ever since 11 it seems to go faster.
Keith I was going to wait for the X but got an 8 Plus instead, upgrading from a 6S Plus. Let Apple workout any kinks with the X and see what they have to offer next year or the year after.
Face ID is not new, i had it over a year ago on Microsoft Lumia 950XL, it is not even closely as comfortable as the touch ID
Genio88 Microsoft’s Lumia 950XL had an iris scanner that captured a photo of just your eyes and used that 2D image to make a match. Face ID uses a dot projector to create an actual 3D map of your entire face, so a little different hahaha.
I completely agree with you Keith.
Yup, doing the exact same thing. Getting an 8 Plus, will wait a year or two to see the next models after the X, in which many of the kinks will be worked out. I honestly think and hope, that they'll get rid of the cut out at the top.
Just got the 8 Plus with the 256 gb memory and glad I am past the stage in my life where I have to have all things cutting edge Apple. Great phone; glad I got it over any of the X series.
Is the battery life good? Also is the front cam good too? I wanna switch from an android A10🤢
Tbh if you're an android user this phone honestly isn't that bad. it's even better than most android flagships. Though I'd still prefer android because if the software. Apple nailed the hardware though.
Kevin Zhang ikr. I love both os, android and ios. This phone actually is great phone but the restrictions in ios make the phone unfriendly
Great review! The outdoor shots are stunning
still confused to buy iphone x or iphone 8 plus i will decide after 12 sep events hopefully i will go for 8 Plus or new upcoming model of iphone 9 with LCD panel.
It’s 2023 and I just purchased a jet black 8 plus 1 owner in like new condition for only $140.00. I bought it because my 7 plus has been slowing down and the battery only lasts a couple of hours on a full charge.
The 8 plus is 2-3 times faster, and even with the original battery at 85% it will last 10X longer than my 7 plus. The 7 plus lived a long good life though. I still use it as a 2nd phone.
Quite a clean & true Review.... Appreciate 👍
Great Review. However the camera tests was not accurate, i guess it’s UA-cam’s compression? Pictures and videos looks 10x sharper with more dynamic range on my 8 Plus.
+Markiso Wickstorm possibly. They are completely unmodified. I took them straight out of the iPhone and put them in the video.
zollotech Yes, probably just UA-cam compression 👍
Markiso Wickstorm I don’t think it’s UA-cam other reviews shown way better pictures, his review it’s good but he isn’t good taking sample pictures
Agreed
Markiso Wickstorm ive relaside that too! Prob is the UA-cam or render compression that he uses
portrait mode isn't for taking pictures of the forest its for taking pictures of people
Sorry smart ass but it’s for taking pictures of any shit he wants
giorgia x 🤣
Ty! You made it easy on me to make my decision. I’ll be holding on to my 7 plus! I feel that it is an iteration type of phone. So, I’ll be waiting for next year’s iPhone.
*sees the phone on log*
Me: AHHHH NOO IT'S GONNA GET SCRATCHED!
Concise and informative, as reviews should be. Really enjoyed watching and getting your point of view on the 8+. Personally, the classic design isn't a deterrent, however the glass back is cause for concern, though a good case solves that issue. The X is hardly worth the price of admission and the notch up top and missing home button are a no-go for me. Many thanks for this review and particularly for having some decent music in background. The absolutely dreadful music many reviews put on their videos now-a-days makes me click off of them instantly no matter how good the content otherwise. Cheers!
I personally think this is the best/most complete iteration of the iPhone 6 design.
Hi ❤️
I gotta say your camera quality is fire!!!
As for the price, the iPhone 8 plus is only 50 dollars more expensive than the seven plus from last year. In fact, its decently cheap compared to the Samsung Note 8 which Is 950 dollars, which is 150 more than the eight.
You also get double the storage from last year
I don't think the upgrade is worth it if you own a 7s tho, you are paying for essentially wireless charging and a little bit more power (which iOS already does quite well).
Personally, I've always been using Android and I love it, but I'm thinking about trying out iOS and this phone might be it.
Who would pay that much for a android Samsung is out of there mind they not apple lol
I have the iPhone 8 plus speed is amazing and am very impressed with the battery life
I'm getting an 8 plus on monday. I don't like the thought of the 10 not having the home button. I like the home button. I'm not a big fan of facial recognition stuff so I'm certain I will be happy with the 8 plus. I currently have the 7 small so I will have to get used to the bigger screen but I think I'll manage.
FBomb what do u think after using the 8plus? is it nice or u regret buying it and should wait for the ix?
Same here! I usually use touch ID whilst my phone is like on top of a table. No need to lift the phone for a facial recognition just for a quick check
...August 2020 - I had a very old Samsung android phone and bought the iPhone 8 plus - first time owning an iPhone ...so far, I'm pretty happy with it. It has 128 GB and it was $300. I still like the Samsung android phones, but I'm good with this purchase too.
I love the 8 plus. I personally dont like the design of iphone X
Me 2
iPhone 11 also not good 📷
Great video and love that you provided good examples
Switching from a iPhone 5SE to the 8+ once as my phone contract is done in two months.
Me too damn I'm late for an update
Getting mine tomorrow yessss
I’d much rather this than an iPhone X
@zollotech :Wonderful and “at the bottom” review. Am using an iPhone 7, but thinking of switching to 8Plus for the camera... Thanks for the help Aaron
my birthday is in 2 days, (sep 10) and Im hopefully getting the 8 plus. So excited :)
love you videos aaron the way you talk is nice.. keep it up dude :)
Watching this on iPhone 8 Plus anyone else?

Is it a good idea from me to switch from Samsung s8 to Iphone 8 plus !?
I'm getting on today so happy
I use Samsung many years.and want to switch to iPhone.
Great content as per usual. Keep it up. You’re amazing!👌
+David Martin thanks
Sold my iphone x. The screen looked to small. Gone get iphone 8 plus. Should have kept my 7 plus:(
I got the 8 Plus today from the Black Friday sale. Free upfront £36 a month with 100GB data and 256GB in Gold. I’m so excited I’ve had the 6s for 2 years, do not like how the X doesn’t have the home button, don’t think I’d be able to get used to it
Can’t relate, watching on my iPhone 9- right now. Get with the program
lol thats comedy
I just got the 8 plus.. and I must say, I'm very much impressed with the battery life and performance.. Alap the camera.. But honestly, I don't like the front camera of the iPhones. I dont know why.
Who is watching on a 8 Plus I am 😁
Me I got it today😊
That intro was smooth!
Good far outweighs any bad! Love my new camera oh and my new phone. It’s basically a camera with a phone! LOL
+David Ackley yes
Great video explained everything clearly and to the point 👍👍👍👍
Getting this next week :)
Hi❤️
I love your review video, man!
Good intro!!
+KOASTY CLUB thanks
KOASTY CLUB sub to me plz
Literally the best phone review I have ever seen!!! Damn.
Thank you
zollotech what song is that at 2:19 mark
I went from a potato Android to this and I’m in love
I just upgraded from a iPhone 6 to the iPhone 8 Plus its like going from a Ford Focus to a Shelby GT 350 Mustang! I love the 8 plus....
I got the 8 plus as i don’t think the difference to the x is worth 200 euros (in europe) plus the x has a larger screen but alot narrower, so i don’t think it’s a great experience. It’s not a plus sized phone.
I also like the 8 very much, despite it being a ‘classic’
Rumours say next year Apple is gonna release a 6.4 inch iPhone X
Abdu Maxwell they can't even release the current X. Major availability issues.
The more narrow is screen is what turned me away from it
I've just upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 8+ today and I love it. It was on offer so I snatched it up very quickly. I don't like any of the iPhone X's.
i dont like the iphone X's design tbh and i dont like how android manufacturers took the bezel less route, its just my personal opinion but most people i know do tend to find bezel less phones to looks sexier.
Thank you so much! I was planning `to get the iPhone 8 plus but I wasn't sure if it was good for me now I know it's not a scam.
How and where to get the 7s???
Just Kidding.
Hahahaha funny
ace alex there is no 7s
ace alex I don’t get it...
I loved my iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 11.
I hate my iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 12.
Do not update your iPhone. My user experience.
Battery life on iOS 12 has decreased 35%+:
My iPhone 8 Plus has been amazing on iOS 11.4.1. I was getting 10-12 hrs usage and my regular schedule was plunging in and taking off charger at 6 am and plugging it back in at 10 pm with 30-45% battery left. I had a ton of standby time as well.
I chatted with an Apple support team and they told me if I didn’t update my iOS than my battery health will drop fast. So I took the plunge regretfully and updated to iOS 12.3.2. After 4 days of usage I do my typical routine; take my phone off charger at 6 am and at 6 pm I have 0% battery life now. It has to be from this update, I know it.
Anyways, I have been chatting with Apple support team daily on this issue. They had me do a fresh clean install via iTunes. I did one 3 days ago. Than they checked my battery and my diagnostics on my phone. They have no explanation of why my battery has gotten so much worst. My battery health is at 96%. I also have AppleCare that expires in October 2019. I even chatted with an Apple engineer too and he said everything seemed okay. But yet it doesn’t last as long. I’m using the same apps, same usage (maybe a little less than before) and same settings. I actually turned off background app refresh today, which was the first. I doubt I’ll see any improvement though.
Any help would be kindly appreciated. This is very frustrating as this phone use to be amazing on battery life and now is just like a regular iPhone 8.
Zollotech can you explain this? You said battery would be similar if not a little worst than iOS 11 to iOS 12. I’ve done everything you’ve said for better battery life from your videos. Did your takes a 35-40% decrease in life like mine did?
I’m fighting Apple on this. They shouldn’t ruin battery like this with one update.
Black is beautiful
