iPhone 8 Plus review: The closest you’ll come to iPhone deja vu

2017-09-19
do you get the iPhone 8 plus or wait for the iPhone 10 welcome to the question that will linger through the holidays now the iPhone 10 looks like the complete package but we haven't reviewed it yet and we don't know what it's like for a while until then the 8 plus is the best phone that Apple sells and it's definitely better than the 7 plus but it's improved in ways you're probably not going to show off to your friends it has a nice glossy glass back and it's wireless Qi compatible and the processor is definitely a nice upgrade but if you want some of those fancier features you might want to wait for the 10 this isn't the sports car but it's definitely the nice utility vehicle with a great engine it's upgraded camera sensors take better low-light photos and it shares a similar a 11 processor to the iPhone 10 the eight plus dual cameras are great portrait mode is improved and allows extra controls but there's also portrait lighting a beta mode that adds simulated 3d lighting to photos sometimes the effects are amazing other times feels forced new compressed video formats allow 4k video at 60 frames per second and 1080p slo-mo at 240 but the iPhone 10 cameras could be even better the 8 plus is extremely speedy but it's 5.5 inch 1080p display is no different than last year except for adding apples true tone technology which adjusts color temperature to match ambient light it does make the display look better but the iPhone 10 will get a 5.8 inch OLED display that could be even better than this Apple's newest iPhone trick is augmented reality the ability to float realistic 3d objects on top of the real world now a Ark it requires an iPhone 6s or later so that means that older iPhones can use it but the new iPhone 8 processors and the iPhone tens should be able to run them even better if you're skeptical about the idea of face ID or getting rid of the home button completely on the iPhone 10 the iPhone 8 plus offers a great set of chips in a very familiar body it's available now and you don't have - wait then again for an upcharge you are going to get a larger screen better telephoto camera better front-facing camera in a smaller design on the 10 the safe bet for someone who doesn't want all that is the iPhone 8 plus maybe the safest thing to do is wait Oh
