so I'm gonna get to the video but before I'll just play a quick game how many months ago do you think the iPhone 8 and the A+ came out the answers are very surprising at least for me four months ago I had to look it up September 22nd Apple released the eighth-inning plus we've had a lot of time to look at it now a lot of my testing time has been spent admittedly checking out the iPhone 10 but I went back and looked at the 8 in the A+ to revisit it see if it's still the phone but I know a lot of you guys are considering buying is you look at the iPhone 10 and you're like so my initial review was that the phones really surprised me I wasn't expecting that much from the 8 and the 8 plus and that's kind of changed a little bit because I started using it then I started expecting a lot from it the performance on the phone is absolutely credible I never thought that most modern release iPhones were ever slow they're always behind you but it came to raw horsepower but iOS was optimized for the hardware the phone here still feels incredibly fast with iOS 11 boot up is insanely fast as fast of course you get with things like the iPhone 10 games look incredibly quick third-party apps load fast you can throw deep bench scores all you want but end user experiences what matters the phone still feels extremely fast the big difference for me coming back to the 8 plus I spend a lot of my time testing with from the 10 was getting used to touch ID again I'm so used to not having a home button and got using gestures that was definitely a learning curve wait for coming from an iPhone that wasn't the iPhone 10 we're gonna be right at home with this experience touch ID here still working very well in fact it looks better for me more accurately than Faye said he does but certainly you have to you know use your thumb to do it it was a bit hard to get used to not having gestures again but after two days it really wasn't an issue this multitasking very quickly at least how Apple allows you to multitask with giant air quotes battery life is also another area where I became extremely impressed with the phone I've been super disappointed battery life on the iPhone 10 on the eighth plus I can almost write this thing out to two days with normal usage and auto brightness turned on battery life is damn incredible when it comes to the iPhone A+ and I mentioned battery life before I got the screen because I'm probably gonna seem like a bit of a hypocrite here and I'm totally aware of that it's a 1080p screen and you can take that for what you want it's no longer a best-in-class screen that's like doesn't work great it's still really solid outdoors picture still a great text so it's crisp not seeing any chunkiness you're not see any pixels cuz it's still more than the eye can see but it certainly doesn't look as good as a competition especially the equally priced competition but of course the trade-off you're getting awesome battery life so again like I said I know it's super critical to be like I want a higher-risk green and awesome battery life because you give you just clearly can't have everything as you saw what happens to the iPhone tends battery life but I'd probably sacrifice like a tiny bit of battery to maybe get a higher resolution screen on it but if you're coming from an older Jen Plus device you're not gonna lose any difference here on the screen at all it's similar experience it works well it's true tone display is nice actually I kept it on here so it boils down to this green is fine I really love the way the glass back feel on this generation devices I also really like the color I wish Apple could decide what the heck color space go actually was it's like six different versions and eight different iterations but I liked away Space Gray looks I really liked her the eggshell white of the silver I loved it wireless charging is enabled here the Space Gray is definitely fingerprint magnet so if you go for that color I definitely recommend putting on a dbrand scale so you get a little bit more grip on it well link to those down below if you want to check them out my issue with the 8 plus and this is a minor issue than the design front it's the fourth iteration of the same design we saw this back from the iPhone 6 and 6-plus things haven't really changed that much but if you like that design you're still getting a really good phone and that's kind of the moral of this whole video you're still getting almost everything that you get from the iPhone 10 and 3 exception certainly the front-facing camera you're not getting portrait mode you're getting close to the same rear camera and of course the same speed you with the iPhone 10 gonna save some money you want the latest Apple experience I'm still really enjoying the iPhone 8 plus but I will say the plus feels gigantic in my hands so if you don't mind the giant screen size you want to go back something like the iPhone 8 which it's a whole other discussion when it comes to the screen on that phone that's the decision up to you it's certainly a better value you can save value when it comes to an Apple flagship phone and you're still getting close to what you get with the iPhone 10 so let me know what you guys picked up I know a lot of you guys decided to go for the a to the A+ over the 10 if you switch to Android it all together and of course the subscribe button and that little Bell next to it you notify when new videos are coming we got a ton more awesome flagship vs. videos coming your way that's all next time I'm John render
