GogoTech great video, I was starting to think I was the only person experiencing these issues. I get really sore eyes using the iPhone X too and headaches also which is a shame. I find the picture quality better on the iPhone 8 Plus Camera too.
“Face ID in the morning, when you wake up this phone will not recognize you at all” That’s the most relatable thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
This guy actually bought the iPhone X with his own money, used it as a daily phone and then gave his honest opinion. Other 'tech reviewers' keep worshipping Apple.
That’s the truth bro. I’m not going to be kissing their ass when the iPhone X is really not that great. I wanted to like this iPhone X but in the end the iPhone 8 Plus is where it’s at.
Andrew Tran It's a missed opportunity for Apple. They have the money and the talent but I believe theu currently lack a sense direction. They've been relying too much on their name recognition even as the competition keeps getting better and better every year. I was hoping for a major refresh this year but maybe next they will deliver. For now though many people are keeping their money.
It’s not “worshipping” just because you like the phone. I’ve been an Android user from the start and my first iPhone was the 7 Plus. I just bought the X and I like it much more than the 7 Plus. Everyone has different taste.
james wee Different choices and different tastes. Nothing wrong with that. In fact my comment has nothing to do with that. The thing is though many reviewers are willing to give Apple a pass just because they are Apple. There is a lot of things wrong with the iPhone X and the duty of a honest reviewer is to point them out. The biggest for me is the price. There is no way the X is worth $1K or way more than that if you live out of the US. Then there is the reliability issue, the nutch, face ID...
Abdulai Bah pretty much all of the tech reviewers I’ve seen have pointed out issues with the X with exception to the hardcore Apple fans. But honestly, the notch doesn’t really bother me and I haven’t had any issues with Face ID either. But regarding the price point, it’s just a matter of whether you can afford or not. There are suits that cost $3,000 and suits that cost a fraction of that and they both serve the same purpose. But if you can afford it, then so be it.
Hats off to you, Sir. Straight to the point, no sneaky in-video promotion, no stupid intro and no begging for likes/comments etc. you got a subscriber!
I wasn’t willing to be a beta tester of the iPhone X and pay more to do it. I went from a 6 to an 8 Plus, and that was defiantly the right choice for me.
Chelsea be happy it’s gonna break faster than the iPhone X and plus I don’t recommend you to do Waterproof challenge because it will break not the iPhone X
I recently just got the 8 plus and yes it’s tremendously better amazing battery life, beautiful camera quality, sleek and nice design, and overall a better phone. Probably Apple’s best phone ever made
Evangelos Foudoulakis that’s because the home button is not actually a button. It’s fixed in place, A vibration motor gives you the sensation you’re clicking it. You can even set the intensity in settings :)
To be fair, I love the X way more than the 8 Plus.. but I guess this all comes to personal preferences for each and every one of us which we all need to accept.
The iPhone 8 Plus is better Because : - better screen size and type. - better design with much details than the X. - lot of colour options. - touch ID and the home button.
I picked the 8 plus from the beginning. I like the fingerprint scanner. You don't have to pick the phone up to open it and the screen is bigger. I just wish they kept the headphone jack.
I don’t mind the lack of the headphone jack because I have the AirPods. It’s time to step into the future, that’s the push Apple is going for. Wires should be a thing of the past by 2020, it’s just that time. They’re messy and awkward. Wireless headphones can last for years to come, rather than buying rubbish repeatedly.
Nefeli Simic you can just order it from your service provider and pay monthly. I just got a red 8plus yesterday and paying $33.00 extra per month on my bill. Ordered it on my old 6s plus through Verizon this Monday morning and received it yesterday afternoon.
Paying Monthly Is Trash . No One Pays Monthly Cause They Know That Its Better To Just Pay The Whole Price Then You Don't Have To Worry Bout It And Enjoy The Phone . If You Don't Have The Money Just Buy A Refurbished Version Of Amazon Or Something But Whatever You Do , Dont Buy It Off Ebay.
I bought an 8plus, loved it. Tried out the X returned it a week later. It was giving me some pretty bad eye strain and headaches I couldn’t even use my $1000 iPhone . Back to the iPhone 8 Plus.
Joshmakey12 I have the XR, it is amazing phone regarding the price, I don’t mind the display at all and battery life is awesome. Personally the whole phone is too big and heavy (192 grams) and u need a big case to protect it. Apart from that, it is a great buy.
I bought the iPhone 8 and I love it. Even if the 8 plus is better, I don’t like big phones and the X is just to expensive for a phone, I don’t think is worth 1000 dollars.
OMG!! You are the 1st person on RUclips that I have come across that mentioned the red/white eye problem with the camera on the iPhone X. Like you, I shoot a lot of pics and video of my kids and it’s normally in low light. In every video, my kids have white eyes. I actually wanted to throw the X through a window. It’s a design flaw with the iPhone X that Apple won’t acknowledge. Thank you for pointing this out.

Greenmonkey552 I’ve had 2 top of the range Samsung’s when they came out. The Note and the Samsung S7 edge. They are good phones but: 1. The screens break really easily from my experience 2. The iPhone works much more seamlessly in user experience opening apps and use. 3. Android phones crash a lot and have never had a crash with my iPhone 8 Plus in the first few months of having it. 4. The battery life is really good on iPhone 8 Plus 5. Using the iPhone with DJI Mavic Pro as a controller is far far more reliable than the Samsung phones which always had problems when I used with the Mavic. I could carry on but for others things to do. I’m not really bothered Apple, Samsung, Sony I just buy the product that works best for me.
Andrew Tran its the small things i suppose.The last bit of your vid where theyre both laying down and you have to pick up X to look at it to unlock... not ideal
still confused to buy iphone x or iphone 8 plus i will decide after 12 sep events hopefully i will go for 8 Plus or new upcoming model of iphone 9 with LCD panel.
Iphone 8 plus hands down. It’s better built. I’m actually about to purchase another one as we speak cause I have tons of stuff with touch ID. Mine’s working like a champ. Only my lightning connector is going bad inside, I have to move the cable a bit for it to charge. Another than that it’s great
I came from a 6plus to the X and I would always drop the 6 plus because of how chunky and wide the phone is. The iphone X feels better in the hand and for the last two months of having the X all the gestures feels normal.
PWM (plus width modulation) is such an underrated topic! More tech youtubers need to talk about it more often, as many people are using OLED panel screen phones, but can’t figure out why they’re getting eye strains/headaches. Thanks for bringing awareness to this! I wish Apple finally just made a Super Retina LCD panel already for those who don’t want OLED.
Andrew Tran so true. I always explain and show it to my friends/coworkers who own OLED panel phones, and none of them have any idea what PWM is. Just trying to let more people be aware of it at least.
I agree with your choice. I think that the iPhone X is great, but it makes too many sacrifices to be excellent. I am personally using a Moto E4 Plus I got at $100 because I feel as though it does not compromise anything for a phone and is at a great price, especially if you get the Amazon Offers and Ads like I did
Finally someone speaking about the damn dust particles in the camera!!!! i have a 7 plus and i have them too... iPhone cameras without dust particles are really rare... wtf
Matthew Crisp reaaaallly?? Omg I’m in the same situation! I have my x but I miss my 8 Plus, but I’m not sure and can’t decide! I wanna switch but I’m afraid I’ll regret! I’d get nearly 300 dollars back though, I’ve been using mine for 3 weeks
This video came at just the right moment. In five minutes I was heading to the Sprint store to upgrade my phone to the iPhone X, but you’ve convinced me.. 8plus all the way!
Hi! Those are exactly some of the reasons why I've choosen the 8+ instead of the X. I never believed in face ID, the fingerprint is so fast and reliable. By the way, I had the phone since december 2017 and I'm super satisfied. Never ran out of battery. IMHO it's a shame they didn't include at least the quick charge cable usb-c to lightning, but I guess that's just the Apple's style we're all used to. Quick charge makes a huge difference.
I completely agree with you and thats why after going back and forth with both, I stuck with the 8 Plus and returned my X. The plus has a bigger/wider screen perfect for watching videos, faster touch id, and the multitasking is a mess too, why do you have to long press to dismiss an app.
jadenhotguy pro Apple users recommend not to force quit apps because it’s “bad behavior” and it actually kills the battery more than you would think.. reason why they made it a bit more inconvenient to do so. If you don’t believe me google it.
Did you regret your decision or no? I have been used the iPhone X for 3 weeks and I’m thinking in going back to 8 Plus. I had the 7 plus before! So is it worth it? I would spend around 40 dollars to go to 7 plus to 8 plus, so I think they’re nearly the same so I’m thinking if I keep my or sell can’t decide
Thanks dude, you helped me. I was confused choosing iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X. And now i know, iphone 8 Plus is better for me. Once again Thank you so much!
if i was gonna get 8 series over the x, then i'd get standard 8 to save a lot of weight and girth. 202 grams and the dimensions of the 8+ are just absurd. Even the 174 of the x is pushing my comfort limits. I'm happy with my x, but the standard 8 is a VERY close runner up. The 8+ is absurd.
Had my Iphone 8 plus for years now, with case all the time. It is in great condition, no scratches or dents. The only thing is that the lightning connector may be going bad inside after more than 3 years. My battery’s health is at 82% still a great charge and lasts all day. The touch ID is awesome, I use it for most of my apps, from banking to purchases.. And I’m actually about to buy a another one, as we speak. Brand new, but this time with 256GB. Stuff like this I don’t buy used, avoid surprises!
Yes, I definitely did. I was using the iPhone X as my daily driver and it just didn’t work out. It just felt like I was missing the total iPhone experience.
Cheryl Young I don’t know I’m just saying I seen some youtubers switching back from iPhone X to iPhone 8/8 Plus due to Touch ID or missing the big size of the iPhone 8 Plus etc.
I have had many iPhones my last one was a 6 Plus... the 8 Plus is a beast, smooth tons of power good battery, and I like the home button ... no complaints.
Brian Crawford I am coming from a 6s plus. The home button there was more stable. When i bought the8 plus i noticed that the Home Button has a strange click sound and i am afraid it wont last for long
iPhone 8/8+ is better overall. Does the optical stabilisation on the X make a real world difference? Even if it did, the red/white eyes on photos and video are a big no-go for me at least. Gonna be upgrading from an old iPhone 5 and as of now everything points out iPhone 8/8+. Thanks for this video, very useful.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus has optical image stabilization too. The only difference is the telephoto lens on the iPhone X is stabilized as well. Yes, the red eyes issue is a really serious problem on the X. It has not been talked about yet and people are unaware of the issue. A lot of my holiday photos and videos were ruined because of the flash on the X. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Thought we were way past the red eyes issue. Thanks for the great uploads man, I've been a subscriber for a long time :)
Thanks for the long time support. Yeah, DXo mark did mention that the iPhone X quad Led flash did suffer from red eyes and it was underexposed compared to iPhone 8 Plus. I just didn’t think it would be this serious with the red eyes.
I have a store in United States i sell all kinds of phones, a New iphone 8/8+ Unlocked is $600 best price for you shipping is free. contact me on whatsapp or text +13362836105
I'm so glad the PWM issue is raised in videos. Most reviewers complain when new phones don't have OLED but for those of us sensitive to flicker it's a pain that flagships and even mid range phones are going OLED. I hope the rumored 6.1" iPhone with LCD display won't be cheated of important features. Even though rumors suggest it won't have 3D touch or a that nice stainless steel bezel. I'm kinda betting on the 6.1" since Google has cut of my upgrade path with all the pixels using OLED.
Great video. I was almost out the door and going to get the iPhone X and return the iPhone 8+.. After watching this video, I decided to keep my 8 plus!
Great choice. We’re about 5 months away from the new iPhone X plus anyways. This is going to be an exciting year of new iPhones in multiple variations.
As much as I love the X, I clearly see why you switched and I don’t disagree with you at all! I would switch to the 8+ but I’m used to FaceID and no home button, so there’s no going back for me :P Great video!
Just got an iPhone 8 plus. I was using the iPhone 5s for 5 years and when I had the iPhone 8 plus for the first time my reaction was "Wow!" Such a huge upgrade and I love photography so it's a really huge improvement of the iPhone 8 plus camera.
I went from Android Moto Z with a dead battery to an iPhone 8 plus 256 GB. I had no idea phones came that high😂. Love it and only had to pay upgrade fee and taxes ( Verizon). Love it, looked at the X but the screen was too small for me I like the look of the 8 plus. And at 256 gb I won't have to worry about storage. Haha 😍. I take back anything horrible I've ever said about Apple and iPhones lol
I’m sticking with my iPhone 8plus. I had it for only a year and I’m not wasting my money on another iPhone until they can incorporate the the Touch ID on the upcoming devices.
Did you regret your decision or no? I’m at the same situation but I sold my 7 plus so would have to get the 8 plus! I’m scared they will be the same and id pay 400 dollars to switch from one to another! And 550 to the 7 plus to x
My Amiga 1500 still works from 1993 but I moved on to a PS4 Pro! I used every Plus model from 6 to 8 Plus, that I kept for 2 months until I touched the X for the first time and I ditched the 8 Plus. It felt right, I was very tired of the same design every year, I think it is to move on a bit. While I still miss some things from the Plus classic design and features I'm still perfectly fine with the X. It's not perfect but it's a step forward. I can't understand all this negativity and hate for it. And it works! When I first bought the Samsung Note 3 I realized that I cant go back to smaller screen anymore, now that I got my first bezel-less phone it's hard for me to go back to bezels too...
George CNTech The new models don’t come out for another 5 months so I don’t see why someone should be driven to wait unless they really didn’t have the need for a cutting edge phone. Models only last for 1 year anyway so it’s only slightly more than halfway through the period.
Troy Trav I spent hours upon hours watching and reading reviews because I was so conflicted about whether I wanted to upgrade to the 8+ or the X (from a 6+). I eventually decided on the 8+ and couldn’t be happier. In the end it came down to size and Touch ID as crucial factors in choosing the 8+. Good luck making a choice! If it’s the 8+ you shouldn’t regret it.
You are already late to the party to upgrade, might as wait for the next gen iPhone. Try to upgrade in the beginning to be on time. iPhone X design is the future. The iPhone 8 Plus design is outdated now.
I have the iPhone X and it took a good week to get used to it but it’s an amazing phone. Blazing fast! Face ID has improved day by day. The full screen design is amazing. It does everything I need it to.
Yeah... You make good points... Yeah I went with the iPhone 8+ for the fingerprint scanner and the larger screen and the LCD actually cuz I use my phone a lot for reading with my Kindle app.
I had the option of picking up the iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone 10 and I’m so glad I went with the 8 plus mainly for the screen and the finger print Taptic home button. Also worth noting several of my friends with the iPhone 10 preferred the photos I had taken on my 8 plus! Overall the best smartphone I have ever owned.
I was thinking of upgrading my 8 since the new XS and XS max just came out. Buttttttt I went and got me a 8 plus instead! So much better 😄 I hate that theirs no home button plus I love this rose gold. Great vid
This was a great video. When I bought my 8 plus it was the best choice. The 10x was small and skinny to me even though they say it was bigger. I was not impressed.
I switched from Android to iPhone in September and opted for the iPhone 8 Plus as my first iPhone. I felt that the iPhone X would have all of the issues you mentioned and I would give Apple a year to work on them. So, I got the iPhone 8 Plus and I could not be happier. I don't miss Android at all and it did not take long at all for me to feel at home on iPhone. Also, the 8 Plus is just a beautiful beast. It looks amazing and performs perfectly for me. I'll get the super huge iPhone X version they release this year just because I think Apple will have some of the usability issues worked out.
“Face ID in the morning, when you wake up this phone will not recognize you at all” Funniest thing i've heard on any review, subscribing immediately 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yup. Good video. The 8 Plus is the culmination of the last few years of design. The X is good first try... with a huge price tag. Viva la 8 Plus! Great job showing the screens LED v. LCD. I didn't know that.
Big fan of you can you give me this commen pinned on your video
Thanks for the support bro. 😁
Andrew Tran bro i watch your vids and the best ones is about hp laptop

The space grey on the 8+ looks better
I just bought the 8 today and i am enjoying it so much. I came from the 6 so i was due for an upgrade 😂
To be fair, I love the X way more than the 8 Plus.. but I guess this all comes to personal preferences for each and every one of us which we all need to accept.
I chose the 8+ out the gate and never doubted my decision.
That’s an Excellent choice. 😁
Andrew Tran Amazingly, my grandson agreed with my decision process and he too bought the 8+
8 Plus all day. You get more over all screen space in the 8 Plus than you do on the X.
1Drummer hell yeah I love mine, the battery is ridiculously long, I lose like 6 percent every hour
1Drummer same, so glad I did!
The iPhone 8 Plus is better
Because :
- better screen size and type.
- better design with much details than the X.
- lot of colour options.
- touch ID and the home button.
Oh yeah. The 8 plus is awesome. 😀
The X has a way better screen to body ratio and you really don’t need a home button.
8 plus has smaller screen by .3 inches
Not true
Say What You Want But The iPhone X Has The Best Design Ever Produced By Apple 🤙
I picked the 8 plus from the beginning. I like the fingerprint scanner. You don't have to pick the phone up to open it and the screen is bigger. I just wish they kept the headphone jack.
Yup, I bet if Steve Jobs was still here he wouldn’t have ever let that happen.
Joe Green Are you mad because you like the brain cells to make a wise decision? IPhone is shit, throw that pos in the trash and buy samsung
Greenmonkey552 It’s just a phone. Get a life brother.
Joe Green and the verdict is in, most crackheads use Samsung.
I don’t mind the lack of the headphone jack because I have the AirPods. It’s time to step into the future, that’s the push Apple is going for. Wires should be a thing of the past by 2020, it’s just that time. They’re messy and awkward. Wireless headphones can last for years to come, rather than buying rubbish repeatedly.

Jose Mourinho just the cam
Jose Mourinho You get 1 Gb more of ram, more battery life, Dua camera, bigger screen and that’s all I think.
These reasons are exactly why the iPhone X sales are low compared to the 8 / 8 Plus.
And also because of the horrible pricing 😩 That is 1k+ for a phone. Not everybody has that type of money to drop on a phone

OMG!! You are the 1st person on RUclips that I have come across that mentioned the red/white eye problem with the camera on the iPhone X.

It’s a design flaw with the iPhone X that Apple won’t acknowledge. Thank you for pointing this out.
Yes, it’s just so sad that many consumers are willing to put up with this crap from Apple. It’s definitely a design flaw because I’ve tested it very throughly and it always does the same thing. Now, I did shoot some videos in lowlight with the iPhone X using the flash my my iPhone 8 Plus at the same time and the red eyes and white eyes go away. So it’s definitely the flash design being to close the the lens. If you pay attention closely you can also see that the iPhone X picks up a lot of lint when using the flash in low light. I can’t believe this past the testing lab when this phone was in the early testing stages. I guess Apple couldn’t afford to push this phone back to this fall. That would be a big loss for the investors and Apple. I hope those video gets the attention from Apple. Thanks for watching.

5. Using the iPhone with DJI Mavic Pro as a controller is far far more reliable than the Samsung phones which always had problems when I used with the Mavic.
I could carry on but for others things to do. I’m not really bothered Apple, Samsung, Sony I just buy the product that works best for me.

Good job mate youve made my mind up for me.... 8 plus it is.
was gonna say the same thing.
You’re gonna love it!
Andrew Tran its the small things i suppose.The last bit of your vid where theyre both laying down and you have to pick up X to look at it to unlock... not ideal
gpet 72 I swapped my X for the 8 plus and was so happy. Hope you love yours as much as me.
Annie Lou hells yes!! I love it!!!
8 plus is amazing. I love it. It’s super fast, no complaints whatsoever.
Oh yeah. It’s an awesome phone. 😀
still confused to buy iphone x or iphone 8 plus i will decide after 12 sep events hopefully i will go for 8 Plus or new upcoming model of iphone 9 with LCD panel.
I’m from the future. Go for the 11.
@@kibareh2606 😂😂😁 are bro bro
Iphone 8 plus hands down. It’s better built. I’m actually about to purchase another one as we speak cause I have tons of stuff with touch ID. Mine’s working like a champ. Only my lightning connector is going bad inside, I have to move the cable a bit for it to charge. Another than that it’s great
A nine didn’t come out they skip to the X and XR
@@kibareh2606 i am future from future and i tell you about 13 pro max 😂
I purchased the iPhone 8 Plus and absolutely love it! Glad to hear I made the correct decision!!
I came from a 6plus to the X and I would always drop the 6 plus because of how chunky and wide the phone is. The iphone X feels better in the hand and for the last two months of having the X all the gestures feels normal.
PWM (plus width modulation) is such an underrated topic! More tech youtubers need to talk about it more often, as many people are using OLED panel screen phones, but can’t figure out why they’re getting eye strains/headaches. Thanks for bringing awareness to this! I wish Apple finally just made a Super Retina LCD panel already for those who don’t want OLED.
Yes. A lot of people never mentioned it on their channel. I bet many users out there that have issues are not even aware of that issue.
Andrew Tran so true. I always explain and show it to my friends/coworkers who own OLED panel phones, and none of them have any idea what PWM is. Just trying to let more people be aware of it at least.
I agree with your choice. I think that the iPhone X is great, but it makes too many sacrifices to be excellent. I am personally using a Moto E4 Plus I got at $100 because I feel as though it does not compromise anything for a phone and is at a great price, especially if you get the Amazon Offers and Ads like I did
Wow. That’s an awesome price.
My friend got the Moto E4. He likes it
Dodged a bullet there. All iPhones are shit
Finally someone speaking about the damn dust particles in the camera!!!! i have a 7 plus and i have them too... iPhone cameras without dust particles are really rare... wtf
All the problems you experience I have not. I love my iPhone X. I swapped to the iPhone 8 Plus for 2 days and hated it. So went back to the X
Matthew Crisp reaaaallly?? Omg I’m in the same situation! I have my x but I miss my 8 Plus, but I’m not sure and can’t decide! I wanna switch but I’m afraid I’ll regret! I’d get nearly 300 dollars back though, I’ve been using mine for 3 weeks
This video came at just the right moment. In five minutes I was heading to the Sprint store to upgrade my phone to the iPhone X, but you’ve convinced me.. 8plus all the way!
Hi! Those are exactly some of the reasons why I've choosen the 8+ instead of the X. I never believed in face ID, the fingerprint is so fast and reliable. By the way, I had the phone since december 2017 and I'm super satisfied. Never ran out of battery. IMHO it's a shame they didn't include at least the quick charge cable usb-c to lightning, but I guess that's just the Apple's style we're all used to. Quick charge makes a huge difference.
i like that this wasn’t a price based video. just genuine thoughts.
I completely agree with you and thats why after going back and forth with both, I stuck with the 8 Plus and returned my X. The plus has a bigger/wider screen perfect for watching videos, faster touch id, and the multitasking is a mess too, why do you have to long press to dismiss an app.
jadenhotguy iPhone X is better, waisting your money
Anyway force shutting down your apps is not good for your battery anyway
jadenhotguy pro Apple users recommend not to force quit apps because it’s “bad behavior” and it actually kills the battery more than you would think.. reason why they made it a bit more inconvenient to do so. If you don’t believe me google it.
Did you regret your decision or no? I have been used the iPhone X for 3 weeks and I’m thinking in going back to 8 Plus. I had the 7 plus before! So is it worth it? I would spend around 40 dollars to go to 7 plus to 8 plus, so I think they’re nearly the same so I’m thinking if I keep my or sell can’t decide
Thanks dude, you helped me. I was confused choosing iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X. And now i know, iphone 8 Plus is better for me. Once again Thank you so much!
I had the X and X plus and came back to the 8 plus the color gold on the 8 plus is awesome and the price of the 8 plus $699.99 finalized it for me
Oh yeah. I love the iPhone 8 Plus. It's an awesome device. :)
I...I still love my X but can’t think of any argument against your reasons. Kudos for an honest, practical comparison.
I really liked your opinion on 8 plus. Luckily I bought the right one already. I m happy to subscribe to your channel right away.
You're so great man. This is the first of your videos that I have watch. And I subscribed right away😀😀
Thank you and welcome aboard. 😀
if i was gonna get 8 series over the x, then i'd get standard 8 to save a lot of weight and girth. 202 grams and the dimensions of the 8+ are just absurd. Even the 174 of the x is pushing my comfort limits. I'm happy with my x, but the standard 8 is a VERY close runner up. The 8+ is absurd.
Thanks bro i suppose to buy iPhone X now i changed my mind..im happy with ma iPhone 8Plus
Had my Iphone 8 plus for years now, with case all the time. It is in great condition, no scratches or dents. The only thing is that the lightning connector may be going bad inside after more than 3 years.
My battery’s health is at 82% still a great charge and lasts all day. The touch ID is awesome, I use it for most of my apps, from banking to purchases..
And I’m actually about to buy a another one, as we speak. Brand new, but this time with 256GB. Stuff like this I don’t buy used, avoid surprises!
It seems like a lot of people switching back to the iPhone 8/8 Plus or miss the iPhone 8/8 Plus after using the iPhone X
Yes, I definitely did. I was using the iPhone X as my daily driver and it just didn’t work out. It just felt like I was missing the total iPhone experience.
iPhone X is way better and u have it! It’s faster, cooler, way better
Da Dude n boss not faster they are the same speed with the same chip
I’m planning on switching to an 8 very soon
Cheryl Young I don’t know I’m just saying I seen some youtubers switching back from iPhone X to iPhone 8/8 Plus due to Touch ID or missing the big size of the iPhone 8 Plus etc.
I just ordered a 8plus I’m so happy now that I’ve seen your video
Great choice. 👍
I have had many iPhones my last one was a 6 Plus... the 8 Plus is a beast, smooth tons of power good battery, and I like the home button ... no complaints.
Brian Crawford I am coming from a 6s plus. The home button there was more stable. When i bought the8 plus i noticed that the Home Button has a strange click sound and i am afraid it wont last for long
Pretty spot on for why the 8 Plus is better. The PWM on the X was the deal breaker for me.
iPhone 8/8+ is better overall. Does the optical stabilisation on the X make a real world difference? Even if it did, the red/white eyes on photos and video are a big no-go for me at least. Gonna be upgrading from an old iPhone 5 and as of now everything points out iPhone 8/8+. Thanks for this video, very useful.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus has optical image stabilization too. The only difference is the telephoto lens on the iPhone X is stabilized as well. Yes, the red eyes issue is a really serious problem on the X. It has not been talked about yet and people are unaware of the issue. A lot of my holiday photos and videos were ruined because of the flash on the X. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Thought we were way past the red eyes issue. Thanks for the great uploads man, I've been a subscriber for a long time :)
Thanks for the long time support. Yeah, DXo mark did mention that the iPhone X quad Led flash did suffer from red eyes and it was underexposed compared to iPhone 8 Plus. I just didn’t think it would be this serious with the red eyes.
I have a store in United States i sell all kinds of phones, a New iphone 8/8+ Unlocked is $600 best price for you shipping is free. contact me on whatsapp or text +13362836105
I want to upgrade from a 5c, but I'm broke 💸
I'm so glad the PWM issue is raised in videos. Most reviewers complain when new phones don't have OLED but for those of us sensitive to flicker it's a pain that flagships and even mid range phones are going OLED. I hope the rumored 6.1" iPhone with LCD display won't be cheated of important features. Even though rumors suggest it won't have 3D touch or a that nice stainless steel bezel. I'm kinda betting on the 6.1" since Google has cut of my upgrade path with all the pixels using OLED.
Went from 7 plus to X. I️ like it a lot. Favorite feature is the portrait mode from facing camera.
George Kousparis 6s to X and its amazing 😍
This video was so point less you pick all little stuff to downgrade. The X is awesome in every way I upgraded from the 7plus to the X
Glocky Santana yeah I agree its more of a personal preference or you try so hard to pick little things for an excuse to downgrade.
George Kousparis Went from 8+ to X
Went from 5S to X. I love taking great quality or continuous photos. Everything is clean and faster.
I got 8+ and i was really happy & after seeing this vid I’m totally happy 👍
This review is different from others and i enjoyed it! New sub here
Great video. I was almost out the door and going to get the iPhone X and return the iPhone 8+.. After watching this video, I decided to keep my 8 plus!
Great choice. We’re about 5 months away from the new iPhone X plus anyways. This is going to be an exciting year of new iPhones in multiple variations.
As much as I love the X, I clearly see why you switched and I don’t disagree with you at all! I would switch to the 8+ but I’m used to FaceID and no home button, so there’s no going back for me :P Great video!
Thanks Sheriff. 😁
Just got an iPhone 8 plus. I was using the iPhone 5s for 5 years and when I had the iPhone 8 plus for the first time my reaction was "Wow!" Such a huge upgrade and I love photography so it's a really huge improvement of the iPhone 8 plus camera.
I got the 8plus feels and operates better for ME tbh i love it great battery life also
Thank you for this honest video ! Switching back to my 8+ for sure !
I went from Android Moto Z with a dead battery to an iPhone 8 plus 256 GB. I had no idea phones came that high😂. Love it and only had to pay upgrade fee and taxes ( Verizon). Love it, looked at the X but the screen was too small for me I like the look of the 8 plus. And at 256 gb I won't have to worry about storage. Haha 😍. I take back anything horrible I've ever said about Apple and iPhones lol
that’s what i’m doing...recently got the iphone x..wasn’t a fan but now i have the iphone 8 plus and very happy 😃😅
That's a great decision. 😁👍
*This made choosing an new iPhone so easy!*
*Thanks*
I’m sticking with my iPhone 8plus. I had it for only a year and I’m not wasting my money on another iPhone until they can incorporate the the Touch ID on the upcoming devices.
Thank you it helped a lot now I'm gonna get the iphone 8 plus
100% agree iPhone 8+ for me. This was a good video helped me make my mind up, now I’m writing this comment from my 8+.
you are absolutely correct
Thank you for this video, I'm buying my first iPhone ever this year and couldn't decide which one to get. I'm definitely buying the iPhone 8
I bought the iPhone X used it for two weeks and then returned it. I liked the size of my iPhone 7 Plus better and it wasn’t worth the cost.
Did you have to pay the restocking fee?
Did you regret your decision or no? I’m at the same situation but I sold my 7 plus so would have to get the 8 plus! I’m scared they will be the same and id pay 400 dollars to switch from one to another! And 550 to the 7 plus to x
I love it when you said you have to open your eyes wide in the morning to get recognized
My iPhone 3gs works perfect
Soon it will be worth so damn much to collectors that you can sell it and get the new XS Max and a Ferrari lol
Fantastic review. Knew I’d prefer the 8 plus before I researched and watch this video. This confirmed it 👍👍👍
While I liked the iPhone 8 Plus, it's 2018, I'm not going back to the big bezels of 2015. Simple as that mate.
My Amiga 1500 still works from 1993 but I moved on to a PS4 Pro! I used every Plus model from 6 to 8 Plus, that I kept for 2 months until I touched the X for the first time and I ditched the 8 Plus. It felt right, I was very tired of the same design every year, I think it is to move on a bit. While I still miss some things from the Plus classic design and features I'm still perfectly fine with the X. It's not perfect but it's a step forward. I can't understand all this negativity and hate for it. And it works! When I first bought the Samsung Note 3 I realized that I cant go back to smaller screen anymore, now that I got my first bezel-less phone it's hard for me to go back to bezels too...
George CNTech The new models don’t come out for another 5 months so I don’t see why someone should be driven to wait unless they really didn’t have the need for a cutting edge phone. Models only last for 1 year anyway so it’s only slightly more than halfway through the period.
lol but then they were hot and new... this new will get old too. so like what ya like and if you do great! i love the bezels!
I own the space gray iPhone X 256g and so far it has run flawlessly!
Solid review. Recent weeks I was leaning towards the iPhone X but now, I'm back on the iPhone 8+ wave. (Upgrading from the 6S)
Troy Trav I spent hours upon hours watching and reading reviews because I was so conflicted about whether I wanted to upgrade to the 8+ or the X (from a 6+). I eventually decided on the 8+ and couldn’t be happier. In the end it came down to size and Touch ID as crucial factors in choosing the 8+. Good luck making a choice! If it’s the 8+ you shouldn’t regret it.
Skip the upgrade and wait til 2018 models come.
You are already late to the party to upgrade, might as wait for the next gen iPhone. Try to upgrade in the beginning to be on time. iPhone X design is the future. The iPhone 8 Plus design is outdated now.
Upgrade to samsung. IPhone is shit.
Same!!
This's what i'm talking about!
Well done, mate!
Thanks Bro. 😁👍
I prefer 8 plus :)
I agree! iPhone X idea is cool, but it needs a couple years of polishing. I stuck with the iPhone 8 Plus RED myself. Save money, live better.
I have the 8plus and love it!!
I have the iPhone X and it took a good week to get used to it but it’s an amazing phone. Blazing fast! Face ID has improved day by day. The full screen design is amazing. It does everything I need it to.
Yeah... You make good points... Yeah I went with the iPhone 8+ for the fingerprint scanner and the larger screen and the LCD actually cuz I use my phone a lot for reading with my Kindle app.
I had the option of picking up the iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone 10 and I’m so glad I went with the 8 plus mainly for the screen and the finger print Taptic home button. Also worth noting several of my friends with the iPhone 10 preferred the photos I had taken on my 8 plus! Overall the best smartphone I have ever owned.
Thank-you! An iPhone 7 Plus to an 8 Plus it is👍🏻😁
Unless your iPhone 7 Plus is getting old or have issues, I don’t really see the point in getting an 8 plus if I were you.
Just picked up iphone 8 plus Product Red, my god it looks good and performance and battery life incredible!! VERY happy with my purchase 😊😊
I had the same issues, I’m really enjoying the 8+
Juan Mm enjoying 8 plus and getting issues about X wow😝
I was thinking of upgrading my 8 since the new XS and XS max just came out. Buttttttt I went and got me a 8 plus instead! So much better 😄 I hate that theirs no home button plus I love this rose gold. Great vid
This was a great video. When I bought my 8 plus it was the best choice. The 10x was small and skinny to me even though they say it was bigger. I was not impressed.
Thank you. I believe the iPhone 8 Plus is the best iPhone out right now. 😀
Great review. Simple easy to understand what you trying to tell to viewers. Really enjoyed this video! Good job!
Thank you. 😀
That’s why I’m sticking to my 7 plus nothing to upgrade to
Great choice. What version of iOS are you running?
Andrew Tran 11.3 beta 1
same I love my 7 plus and it has 128GB I dont need to upgrade for ages
AttackOnBacca I only have 63gb...
aye the 64gb model is steal a tonne of storage!
I’m actually getting a new phone tomorrow, definitely gonna get the iPhone 8 Plus! 👍🏼
I gotta give my man respect he just exposed the Iphone x without even trying
I switched from Android to iPhone in September and opted for the iPhone 8 Plus as my first iPhone. I felt that the iPhone X would have all of the issues you mentioned and I would give Apple a year to work on them. So, I got the iPhone 8 Plus and I could not be happier. I don't miss Android at all and it did not take long at all for me to feel at home on iPhone. Also, the 8 Plus is just a beautiful beast. It looks amazing and performs perfectly for me. I'll get the super huge iPhone X version they release this year just because I think Apple will have some of the usability issues worked out.
“Open your eyes, and bow 🙇 down to this phone..” lmao
Thanks for the great video, I was in 2 minds whether to get the iPhone X but thanks to you I’m going for the IPhone 8 Plus!
“Face ID in the morning, when you wake up this phone will not recognize you at all”
Funniest thing i've heard on any review, subscribing immediately 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just got an 8 plus and I’m loving it. The biggest reason I didn’t go XS or Max is I hate the notch and facial recognition.
7 plus is the best phone. It has a metal back so u can actually drop it without worrying. The 8 and x will just shatter.
Or you can just not drop your phone??...
Or out a good case on it
Thanks mate, i was confused which one to get the 8plus or 10 well have made up my mind now 👍🏻
Still using the 4s since it’s released and now got iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X
Yup. Good video. The 8 Plus is the culmination of the last few years of design. The X is good first try... with a huge price tag. Viva la 8 Plus!
Great job showing the screens LED v. LCD. I didn't know that.
I like the iPhone 8 Plus better also
