Bought my iPhone 8 in 2018, it was my first iPhone. Still kicking. Apart from its battery at 73% and very limited space (using 58 of its 64GB) I love it. I've been thinking of upgrading for a while now, but every time I look at the price tags I look back at my good old buddy and give it a smile.
If you still have it I’d swap the battery. You’ll start seeing really poor performance at 80% capacity or below so I’d get a fresh battery if you still have it but hey man that’s dope!
@@j.ctalks5915ye Ofc you can also play some games since it was a flagship before I use it and it still holds up my only concern is the battery but if the battery isn’t probleming you it’s a good purchase
I just got the iPhone 8 256gb no scratches on front or back no cracks and it’s unlocked with a new battery with 100% health. and it’s working great so far.
Still on my 8 Plus since launch! I can’t use OLED and it still does all I need, and I still love the big 16:9 screen 1080p with nothing encroaching into it.
I still use my iPhone 8 among many other phones, put in a battery case and I don’t see any reason why not to still use it in 2024. I don’t play games on my phone, so no loss there!
I bought my iPhone 8 in 2022 then my mom got herself a iPhone 14 then she let me use her old Xs but battery was in bad condition then I switched to my father old Samsung and then return back to my iPhone 8 and it still works fine.
I'm using my iPhone 8 Plus at the moment. Bought it in 2020 right around the time Apple stopped selling them. It still works fine, and I don't really use anything outside of some basic games, web browsing and social media. Only reasons I'm looking at getting a new phone are the lack of software updates and the size. After nearly 5 years of using big phones, I'm starting to really notice how much I prefer small ones LOL. Looking at getting either a refurbished 13 mini or SE3 since I really don't need anything super fancy. I wouldn't recommend buying an 8 series phone, but if you're still using one, I reckon it could probably keep going for another year or 2 before losing app compatibility
@@D3great12 both designs are fine. I actually prefer having bezels since it gives the phone a bit more personality. I don’t need anything crazy though. I don’t game on my phone, I barely take any pictures (but when I do i almost always zoom a ton). Honestly a 12 mini is looking more and more appealing by the day
@@samspicer123 the minis are better imo than the se u get oled better cameras and with the 13 mini good battery life the se is good if u want to keep touch id and thats abt it
I get around 4-6 hours of normal use daily out of my iPhone 8 @ 93% battery health with an about year old cell in it, if you're not a power user its honestly still a pleasant experience. If you have one, ride it out, if you're thinking of buying one as a primary device, just go for at least an iPhone 12 instead.
Fun fact, Kitboga has an iPhone 7 or 8 as his daily driver still. Tom Brady is known for still using his 7 plus. Chris Evans barely updated to one of the newer ones after giving u his 6S
Why doesn't anybody talk about the XS. If I remember correctly the XS was selling at the same price as the X. I actually got a XS which I replaced the battery for my Dad. It was the day before the 15 came out. The people at the store said I could pick up the phone at launch day of the 15. I knew better and went in the day after launch to pick up the phone.
The iPhone 6 was actually one of the worst phones that I've ever heard It was pretty good until the battery significantly degraded the battery health capacity was at 55% so that was a bust
Im using 13 as my main device and 8 as my back up phone. I chose the 8 as my second device as this unit is still working smooth versus my Samsung A7 2017. Both device were released in 2017. Samsung keeps on lagging even if I deleted many apps and files.
My iPhone 8 got refurbished for free recently (got a battery replacement, removed broken glass protector, basically looks like it's brand new) so i decided to hop back at it and most likely i will stay on that phone for a very long time now. I don't need those new iPhone features anyway becuase i mainly use my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 tablet and this iPhone 8 is the only one phone i ever had with iOS so im fully fine with it
Using my 11 rn but have my 8th just incase I need it for something, and I’ve gotta say the battery on the 8th has gotten terrible. After only 2 years of usage (bought in 2019), the battery life dropped to 80% but it feels more like 65% because even with no apps and no photos left on it, I have to recharge it every 7 hours while it is even turned off and not being used all day
Hey guys I had an iPhone 12 pro it got damaged I am wondering if I can buy iPhone 8 and restore data on it and wait for iphone 16 pro to launch or just buy iPhone 15 pro if someone could help would mean a lot
i got it 4 months ago from a friend for 100$ cause i gave my androind to my mom its ok and its way way way better that getting my mom a 100 dollar androind
Only reason im viewing this is cus I wanna upgrade my 2016 SE. It's been through hell and back and I think it's time for it to rest. 16GBs is not alot at all anymore. I am however, saving up for an iPhone 12 or 13, but that might take some time, so I thought I'd use the 8 before I make the big jump
Even my Android battery life is better than the iPhone 8 s battery life battery life the Motorola Moto g play 2023 can go for 3 days after a single charge depending on how much I use it

Try using an iPhone 7 with 32 GB and 2GB Ram
