      Dymo I think that if someone has the opportunity to buy the 11 Pro or Pro Max, they should. The reason I decided to go with the Pro Max is so I could get that third camera, an OLED display, a better IP rating, and the biggest battery in an iPhone to date. Those features are all something I value in a smartphone.

      rainbow sprinkles Actually the Iphone 11 pro is a very good phone but I think the design is not future proof. It's ok if you're not considering to keep it for more than 2 yrs. Keep it in mind the 2020 Iphone would have a modern design

    I'm still using iPhone 8+ as my primary phone. Thought about upgrading multiple times, but the home button with the haptic engine, the design and how it runs so smoothly even in 2022 post 14 launch is beyond me. I'm a great fan of iPhones that had the traditional Steve jobs touch and it wouldn't let me think take an action to upgrade to something new. And it came with a charger that I'm still using, although I had to upgrade the cable on multiple occasions.

So what on earth is the point is having 1440p on these tiny phones where you couldn't even tell the difference between 900p and 1080p? The only difference I can see is a decreased battery life with no real world difference.

  • @MisterAelo
    @MisterAelo 7 років тому +401

    I think IPhone 8/plus is good for still having the same design and screen because many people would still prefer having a home button or prefer the old design over edge to edge display, that's why Apple probably included iPhone 8/plus as an alternative. It's also good mention other than design and display the IPhone X and 8/plus are almost the same in every other aspect so I really like the fact that Apple did this. Also note that though a OLED screen will look much better than the already perfectly nice looking 1080p screen, at the end of the day it's a phone screen. Unless it's your main entertainment device, a fancy OLED screen is pointless on a phone because you'd be more focused on the functionality of it notice the sharp blacks. (I have used a Samsung phone, so I do know how an OLED looks) so buyers know that your only going to be paying extra $200 for an OLED edge to edge display... And that's about it. Furthermore if you have been using Apple you'd know there is a certain pattern, when the iPhone 4 came out it was great but the 4s was the same phone but so much better, same story with 5/5s 6/6s and now 7/7s which they call the 8, and with the X it's going to be a great phone but you know what's going to be even better the Xs. So if you aren't too bothered by display and design, please save your self some money and buy the 8 or even 7 which still holds up pretty well.

    I got the gold iPhone 8+ in 2018 and I remember thinking it was the perfect combination of the 7 and the X because it still has touch ID and the 2 cameras (GREAT QUALITY TOO) but then, it also has the wireless charging feature. Plus, personally, I thought the Gold looked really nice! (I know some people don't like it. So, I guess to each their own!)

    4 years later this was such a pivotal iPhone for Apple. Sure the X was a major redesign, but this proved that there was a market for a lower-end iPhone. Without this selling as well as it did, we may never have gotten the XR, 11, 12’s or 13’s which are aimed at the everyday customer

      James Greek its only a 1080p screen on the 8 Plus, and 720p on the 8. You can record 4K video on both but can't watch them in 4K, only 1080p

    I got the iPhone 8 Plus a few months ago, and man i love this phone. I tried the iPhone X hands on, it was good. But then i tried the iPhone 8 Plus, and man i loved it. Beautiful looking, big screen and the battery life is pretty insane! Huge fan!

    I think I might b=go with the 8+ just because of the tele lens and because in Canada theres a bigger price difference compared to the X
