the most common question I hear today is if the iPhone eight is a worthy upgrade some people still have the iPhone 7 and feel that this is just an iPhone 7s and then there's the irony that you can still buy both from Cupertino at the moment with the 7 costing slightly less money it's only fair for us to put them head-to-head on a comparison to see just how similar they really are I'm highly meditative a tie with pocket now and this is iPhone 8 vs. iPhone 7 brought to you by deep brand let's get the obvious out of the way first the iPhone 7 is more like the iPhone 6s s and for the iPhone 8 let's just add an extra s to that this is the fourth year in a row that Apple iterates this design and if you went for the matte black or Space Gray Varian's I chose they're almost indistinguishable from a distance you have to get close to the iPhone 8 - notice that there is glass on the back instead of aluminum that the color is more of a darker tone of gray instead of black and that the Apple logo and iPhone texture now attended chrome like in the old days dimension wise the iPhone ADA's are here larger than the 7 in every way fractions of a millimeter taller wider and thicker though 10 grams heavier and you notice that the moment you hold them side by side the alumina on the 7 is less prone to fingerprints than the glass on the 8 but at the expense of being more slippery when handled I still prefer aluminum because it's one less part that breaks in case of a fall but if wireless charging is your thing only the glass on the 8 can achieve that and since we've begun to discuss features and specifications the 8 obviously has all the newer toys the a11 Bionic follows the latest and more efficient 10 nanometer process versus 60 nano meter on the 810 fusion Ram is reportedly the same 2 gigabytes if you're buying today the iPhone 7 comes with 32 or 128 gigabytes of storage the iPhone 8 comes with 64 or 256 gigabytes both devices share ip67 water and dust resistance as well but the only place where the 7 wins at least in numbers is because it's battery is 8 percent larger for content consumption both devices support a retina HD IPS LCD that supports the p3 color gamut the iPhone 8 wins again by bringing true tone technology of the iPad pro which adapts the displayed tone to the lighting surrounding it the iPhone 8 also has slightly more powerful stereo speakers than the 7 but I recommend watching wands real audio review for a full comparison on that in software there's really nothing to compare here both devices run Iowa's 11 and this is one of those cases where absolutely everything the iPhone eight can do the iPhone seven can do as well we have a separate video detailing the improvements to this new operating system so I'd rather not for you with the basics gliding through menus and launching basic applications perform about the same on both devices I notice speedier performance and hard core stuff like restoring the iPhone eight from a backup but that's just about it even for things like gameplay the iPhone 7 is no slouch when compared to Apple's latest and greatest wear I have noticed a significant difference is in battery life the ten nanometer process on the a11 is clearly a more efficient ship even when running on a slightly smaller battery the iPhone 8 has been the first ever regular-sized iPhone that I've been able to use for a full day without the need to top up by 4:00 p.m. and listen I said the only one the iPhone 7 and even the seventh was have proven to be disappointments in this department as you'll notice on our after the buzz videos and then where I haven't really noticed significant differences is in the camera I highly suggest you watch wands real camera review he actually focuses this video more on making it a comparison between the iPhone 8 plus and the iPhone 7 plus and the differences are negligible for all that Apple mentioned that it had refreshed the sensors that's really not visible here don't get me wrong though this is not a bad thing this just means that both the 8 and the 7 are great at photography video recording is where things are different but not when you record a regular video it's when you tax the iPhone a to its maximum capabilities like being able to record 4k at 60 frames per second or being able to record slow-motion video at 1080p at 240 frames per second thinks that the iPhone 7 can't do and not even the camera that I'm using to film this comparison either and I think the camera experience is the best way to conclude this comparison so be looking for major differences between the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 8 might be disappointed that there aren't that's what the iPhone tennis for and if you're wondering why the iPhone 8 exists that's because I know a significant amount of people that like the iPhone as it is they want the latest and greatest iPhone but they don't want to lose touch ID or even the rest of the experience that they're used to if you already have the iPhone 7 upgrading doesn't really make sense but if you're in the market for a new iPhone and don't want to wait for the 10 I would highly recommend the iPhone Nate more than the iPhone 7 simply because it's newer hardware it performs better when it comes to battery life and while Apple supports a newer phone for a longer period of time and regardless of what you choose fingerprints and smudges are always going to be a given the brand skins will eliminate those fingerprints and add some grip to your upcoming iPhone 8 or any iPhone for that matter check out deeper and
