iPhone 8: First Look

2017-09-12
the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s plus are joining like a Freddy vs. Jason sequel and a good video game movie and the list of things that are never going to be happening today Apple took the ramps off the iPhone 8 and the iPhone a plus the little brothers perhaps to the flagship iPhone 10 so let me say a little bit about the eight and the eight plus first there's kind of a new ish design aesthetically the phones look the same they still have the touch ID button the same bezels but now they're made of glass as a port wireless charging which I give Apple credit for using the Qi standard and I've been saying for years please give me a wireless charging an Apple now after years of asking finally delivered and again nice edits cheese so most of the wireless charges you may already have at home will work the screen size is staying the same 4.7 inch and 5.5 on the 80 plus respectively the resolutions also appear to be staying the same if you want a higher res screen and Ola technology you want to look towards the iPhone 10 so despite the resolution not changing Apple is bringing the true tone display that they debuted with the iPad pro to the iPhone line so the screens and the pictures at least should look better than last gens and these screens are gonna be wrapped in three colors either silver space grey or a new gold new gold does look really nice also new here Apple's got stereo speakers that are 25% louder a supposedly deeper bass and powering the new iPhone 8 an A+ is the not surprising Apple's a 11 Bionic chip but what's surprising it's the first Apple designed GPU and what that's going to mean you should get about 70% faster performance than the last gen iPhone 7 iPhone 7 plus and that is a gigantic jump in performance so I mentioned these phones sort of look the same and the cameras looked the same on both so the iPhone II it's got a single sensor to a medic pixel where's the iPhone 8 plus has two sensors both of which are 12 megapixel of course k plus games before portrait mode bethey plus is also gonna support something new at least in beta called portrait lighting where you can sort of simulated different lighting environments from your phone it cuz if you it live you can also take a picture and sort of add those effects afterwards apples claiming it's way more than just a filter they also claim it's the best video that's going to be taken in the smartphone slo-moes gotten way better at 1080p you can go 240 frame per second which is double the frame rate of the last gen no roll the cameras just look better other things you'd expect here support for LTE advanced which is a huge deal as we start moving towards that 5g progression LTE advanced they're going to sort of be the backbone of 5v what things are gonna fall back to you wanta have a phone that supports that so hats off to Apple for supporting that other things you'd expect like Bluetooth 5.0 are here as well so pricing and storage sizes so sizes are a bit different this generation it's either 64 or 256 for both phones then you're out you go for the 8 or the A+ the eights gonna start at $6.99 whereas the A+ is going 300 bucks more at $7.99 and they're gonna build a pre-order in just a few days on September 15th and shipping on my son's birthday September 22nd and of course don't forget about the Big Brother the iPhone 10 coming in November pre-order starting in October you're thinking that that might be the phone you want to get we've whole separate video on that I will link to it here and down below if you want to check it out so iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus they look like nominal improvements over what we have with the lash in it sort of been true with the S line of phones this would have been an S phone had Apple not side to jump and just go for a new number but nice things are here he got better speakers I got a presumably better display I would have liked higher resolution I've got wireless charging and of course the stuff that we liked last gen like dust and water resistance but it's enough for you to pick up an iPhone 8 or Nate Plus these are not cheap phones and stretch the imagination is it enough to get you back to Apple there's enough for you to upgrade your last gen phone or you gonna skip this and wait for the iPhone 10 ll tell your thoughts on it I'm not sure what I'm gonna do I think I got a wandering eye that iPhone 10 but the iPhone 8 plus does have a bit of appeal to me I like the fact that it's got a physical touch ID button I'm not yet sold on facia unlocking with face ID and we're leaving a comment down below give you a thumbs up we appreciate it until next time John Ranger and TechnoBuffalo
