hey guys this is Austin any other year and this bone would be called the iPhone 7s it has a new design with a glass back upgraded cameras faster internals and even a new feature in wireless charging and yet all of this is under the shadow of the upcoming iPhone 10 which really does beg the question why does the iPhone 8 exist of course plenty of companies have a wide variety of phones to choose from ranging from budget options all the way to the incredibly expensive and surprisingly Apple is actually no exception this year you have options ranging all the way from the $350 iPhone se to the 4 and 50 l or iPhone 6s the $550 iPhone 7 of course you've got the $700 iPhone 8 as well as all the way up in the top of the range the $1000 iPhone 10 the issue is that Samsung has already been shipping a truly next-generation feeling piece of hardware with the galaxy s 8 melia isn't going to cost you about the same amount as the iPhone 8 but it's been shipping for the better part of a year already in the vacuum the iPhone 8 is a nice design however when you put it side-by-side with the galaxy s 8 that iPhone really doesn't look a lot less like a brand new 2017 flagship and a lot more like a 2014 iPhone 6 Apple has made some small improvements to the iPhone 8 most notably including their true tone tech so this is borrowed from the iPad and it adjusts the white balance of the display to better suit the environment that you're in it's a cool feature of course the iPhone still has a solid IPS display when you put it side-by-side with the galaxy s 8 it is absolutely no contest the AMOLED display of the SI not only has far better color brightness and especially contrast but the infinity display means that not only doesn't have curved edges but essentially no bezel on top and bottom of the phone either this is pretty much the approach that Apple is taking with the iPhone 10 and I would actually argue that they're taking it even farther so yes you do have to deal with the knotch but in exchange the rest of the phone is pretty much entirely screen there's essentially no puzzles in sight the only issue is is that the iPhone 10 costs a whopping $300 more than both the s8 as well as the iPhone 8 it's not all bad though the iPhone 8 shares a lot of specs with the 10 including very very similar cameras so paired with better processing and new sensors this is actually a surprisingly big leap over the previous generation of iPhones it brings out a lot closer to stuff like the galaxy s 8 as well as the pixel especially when you consider just how much detail you're able to get in a single ha you want to be in a video this is like actually perfect this is the iPhone 8 this is the iPhone a right now what are you guys names I'm Davey nice to meet you I guess there's a little occasion going on today or something congratulations cut take some pictures with this yeah all right let's do it let's do it all right ready and that looks really good all right let me try some portrait mode here that's pretty nice right it messed up a little bit with the with the veil but that's not that's pretty nice video on the 8th is really impressive it's second to only maybe the LGV 30 so the stabilization works really well especially when you're handheld and you do have some new 4k shooting modes including 4k 24 which I'm actually a big fan of but you also can't shoot at a pretty impressive 4k 60 frames per second we're also getting upgraded 240 frames per second mode at a full 1080p so the last iPhone could do 240 but it was at 720p and honestly it was pretty grainy with your iPhone 8 you're getting surprisingly usable footage especially when you slow it down by 10 times some of the results can actually look surprisingly good you're also getting the Apple a lovin Bionic chip now I'll spare you all the technical details but both the iPhone 8 as well as the iPhone 10 which share the same spec are very very fast put the iPhone 8 side-by-side with not only the 7 but also the galaxy s 8 as well as the note 8 and you'll see the iPhone 8 is hands-down these fastest phone out right now and Geekbench it's a similar story on the graphics side with GFX bench although here it's less of a runaway victory but the iPhone still does went out it's impressive enough that I slightly lost my mind and compared it to the PlayStation 4 and you guys can check that video out if you want to see how they stack up but suffice it to say the iPhone is very very fast it's not perfect though well the glass back doesn't get as warm under extended gaming like the iPhone 7 did when you compared side by side with the galaxy s 8 as well as the node 8 you will see the iPhone 8 does exhibit some thermal throttling and actual use though the iPhone 8 is incredibly snappy and that should be shared with the iPhone 10 that is a surprisingly common thread between the eight and the 10 Meli do they both support wireless charging but they also have fast charging via a USB C lightning cable which my friend Danny one jet test and it actually stacks up fairly well compared to a lot of other Android flagships you're also getting the same ip67 water resistance on both the 8 as well as the 10 now I don't have a tenon to test just yet but I can't say the iPhone 8 speakers sound phenomenal it's the same basic stereo designed from the iPhone 7 it's much louder much richer it really does put not only other Android phones to shame but it's really the first phone in years that's come close to matching HTC's boomsound so yes the iPhone 8 does give up the bezel as OLED display from the 10 but in return the 10 gives up touch ID now face ID is interesting and there's no doubt that Apple is put a ton of really interesting technology into it but it is the only option short of using a passcode there are tons of situations where I'd rather pull my phone out and use touch ID on the iPhone 8 versus hold the 10 in front of my face and hope that it actually unlocks in if it's a perfect setup I would still prefer to have the option of using touch ID at first glance the iPhone 8 seems like a weird choice at a 20-17 world of super thin bezels but look past the screen and everything else is there to me the iPhone 10 is looking like a classic first generation Apple product it's a beautiful design and there's a ton of potential but it's also really expensive and if the supply rumors are true it is going to be quite a while before it's easy to actually get your hands on one I can understand why someone might want to pick up an iPhone 8 today it might not even be crazy to skip the 10 altogether and wait for the next generation which hopefully brings the same design but with the lower price and hopefully stuff like touch ID will be re adding but what do you guys think should the iPhone 8 exist of 2017 let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
