iPhone X vs iPhone 8 vs 8 Plus - Which Should You Buy?

2017-09-14
you guys Johnson here not only we fresh off the announcement of the brand new iPhone 10 but also the iPhone 8 and 8 plus as well I got a chance to go hands-on and extensively cover that from 10 so if you missed that video I will drop a link down below but today I want to focus on both the iPhone 8 and 8 plus and hopefully make it a little easier for anyone who's potentially on the fence about buying one of those phones or even waiting for the iPhone 10 now hands down the iPhone 8 and 8 plus naming scheme was purely a marketing move they very easily could have been probably should have named these the iPhone 7s and 7s plus but honestly I can't really hate on them for that because business-wise it was a super smart move everybody up until the point where essentially everything got leaked would have assumed that the iPhone 8 was Apple's giant big flagship release this year but as we've seen that is clearly the iPhone 10 and because these phones are more than a month apart in release I think it's safe to say it's gonna be a pretty big end of the year for Apple now one thing different with the iPhone 8 and 8 plus is the iPhone 6 the 6s and 7 all shared aluminum bodies whereas with the iPhone 8 and 8 plus those feature and all glass back which not only change it to look in the field but also introduces wireless charging so for anyone out there who thought that maybe wireless charging was exclusive to the iPhone 10 nope you get that across the 8 and the 8 plus as well and I just sort of see throughout this video these three phones share more features than you might think now as far as the colors go gone is rose gold so no longer not to argue about whether it's pink or rose gold we are now simply left with silver gold and Space Gray honestly after seeing is in person I think I'm gonna have to say gold is my favorite it just looks the nicest by far and surprisingly I'm gonna say that silver is my runner-up and a Space Gray out of these three was my least favorite now as far as the displays go there definitely are some improvements nothing drastic though the iPhone 8 is still rockin a 4.7 inch display with the same resolution whereas the iPhone 8 plus is rocking a 5.5 inch display with the same resolution as well upgrades that both these phones share are improve stereo speakers surprisingly both the iPhone 8 and 8 plus share the exact same a 11 Bionic chip found in that phone 10 so maybe you're not ready to give up that home button or the iPhone 10 really isn't doing it for you it's nice to know you're not gonna have to sacrifice performance so if you miss my iPhone 10 video crazy name aside that 11 chip is supposed to be stupid fast I think there were some preliminary benchmarks that leaked showing that it was just as fast as a 13-inch MacBook Pro which is kind of crazy if you think about I for one am super excited to get this in house check it out test out for myself and there's anything as far as performance goes you guys want to see let me know as a comment down below now as far as the cameras go the iPhone eight is rocking a single 12 megapixel shooter it is supposed to be an improved sensor with what Apple is calling deeper pixels not sure exactly what that means but it's supposed to translate to more accurate colors that of course swapped to see once I get one in house now as far as the iPhone 8 plus that again is rocking a dual lens configuration like we saw in the 7 plus but if you're curious what's different between the iPhone 8 plus and the iPhone 10 obviously one we have a vertical configuration in the iPhone 10 but the biggest difference between the two is the iPhone 10 actually has OS on both the lenses where the iPhone 8 plus only has OS on the single main shooter just like the iPhone 10 though there are of course improvements to portrait mode on the iPhone 8 plus as well on top of that what Apple is calling portrait lighting which essentially gives you the ability to manipulate different lighting elements and environments either pre or post photo it's kind of cool too on top of that beyond the ability to tweak things in post you could just shoot a regular portrait mode photo without any portrait lighting effects and still decide to add it in later now from there hands down one of the biggest upgrades to come to the f-18 the 8 plus and the 10 this is one feature that all three of these phones share is video these phones all shoot at 4k 60 frames per second might be a little crazier for me is 240 FPS slow-motion at 1080p GoPros don't shoot 4k 60 none of the Canon shoot 4k 60 I think the gh 5 will get you 4k 60fps but that is nearly 2 grand so hopefully that should put things into perspective so from there for anyone was kind of on the fence between the iPhone 8 and 8 plus or the iPhone 10 I think one of the biggest questions is are you ready to give up that home button both the iPhone 8 and 8 plus still have that comfortable familiar touch ID home button where the I from 10 obviously does not essentially you're almost kind of Guinea pigging a first generation product with the iPhone 10 because do you trust face unlock is it going to be good enough we've already seen some controversy so that is something you definitely have to ask yourself for me what draws me most towards the iPhone 10 is you're essentially getting all of the plus features in a smaller form factor you're getting a bigger screen you're getting dual cameras with OS on both lenses so for me that's kind of almost the way to go I will say though if I had to guess between these three phones I would think the iPhone 8 plus would still have the best her life had three followed by the iPhone 10 then of course lastly the iPhone eight ultimately features aside though it comes down to pricing do you want to pony up the cash for the iPhone 10 the iPhone 8 starts at $6.99 the iPhone 8 plus starts at $7.99 and then we of course have the iPhone 10 which starts all the way up at $9.99 so for those watching right now there's a good chance you may have just pre-ordered an iPhone 8 or a plus or you could be holding out for the iPhone 10 let me know what you went with and why I would love to hear what you think aside from that thank you guys very much for watching if you enjoyed this video if it helped make sure you guys drop a like down below this is Jonathan and I'll catch you guys later
