My mom loves her iPhone 8 Plus. I went as far as offering her my XS Max once I get the 12 Pro and she refused (mainly because of the home button). I guess it still holds its charm.
I had the iPhone 5 (my first iPhone ever) between 2012-2017 and then I bought the 8 plus space grey 64gb and still using it till this day. Battery capacity is at 86% and the phone itself is still in good condition. I never use a case or screen protector and haven’t dropped it once. Yes, it does have micro scratches and stuff but that doesn’t bother me. You just can’t keep your phone clean at all time. Anyway I’m still gonna use my 8 plus for another 2-3 years.
@@akash.9934 I’ve had my 8 plus since June of 2019 and admittedly I charge my phone overnight and the battery health is down to 80 percent around about and it doesn’t hold a charge for very long, the phone gets very hot too but when I first got the phone a single full charge would last almost 2 days.
@@akash.9934 mine is not that bad, I have 85% battery health. My screen time average is 8-9 hours, I charge it during noon at 50% then use it once it reaches more than 80%, it wil go down to 20% before I go to sleep.
Same. Crazy enough I’m considering coming back for the little niche stuff like 3D Touch, no notch, ability to landscape mode, and small things like not removing mask to unlock and being able to see my battery percentage all the time.
@@VantaVoid7 i have both the 8 plus and xs max, recently after 1 week with the xs max, i switch back to the 8 plus as my main phone simply because of the touch id and the size😅
yeah, I got my 7, had to replace the battery once, but it's still going strong. can basically get through a day without charging if I'm out since I don't use it too much. but the battery can get a bit annoying at times. still a really good phone though
Ssoooo I had the 6s for YEARS. Did me good. Broke my outer box case so I took it out. 1 month later, broken phone. Just got the 8plus today, needed something quick and cheap. I’m not disappointed. I’m not a big picture person so the camera is fine for me.
I’ve got a Silver 8 Plus and literally nothing is making me want to upgrade for at minimum, another year. What would make me want to upgrade is a new, affordable iPhone with USB-C.
Its nice to hear a younger person say this as I thought most of ya'll wanted the newest phones.😉 Yes, Im older but do alot of research. I like to buy the phones that have been out at least a year or so. Actually I have an S5 for a LONG time until the year S10s came out & got an S9 plus. My older sister is an iphone user though & has the 8 plus
I’m getting gifted an iPhone 8+ with a family member upgrading. 83% battery health. Looking forward to it. The earpiece isn’t very loud anymore and they’re a little too old to hear anything from it.
"Most people are not going to care". "Most people are not going to care". U kept saying this. And ur so right! This is a phone that is good enough 95% of the time for 95% of people. Good, honest review. 👍
Other than looking old, it's still a very good budget phone. I had an iPhone 8 Plus from early 2018 until mid-2020. I used it on some trips to Japan and Hong Kong pre-COVID and other than taking it out of its case to switch the SIM cards, I never had a problem with it. You can also use any iPhone 8, 8+, or X or later from anywhere in the world in Japan to add a Suica/Pasmo transit card to your Apple Wallet, as well. Before that, you had to use a special iPhone that was only sold in Japan to use their tap card system. Now, with an iPhone 8 or later, you just have to switch the region to Japan and you can add a Suica/Pasmo transit tap card right to your Apple Wallet.
This phone is very fluid and with a new battery, it feels like new. This is one of the best used phones you can get for the price since Apple no longer sells these brand new. My next phone could be an iPhone 12 but I’m keeping my 8 Plus for two more years.
I’ve always thought if Apple wanted to sell more of the iPhone X they could have called this one the iPhone Classic to make it feel even older lol... I’m still rocking my 8 Plus and love it.
I just get my iPhone 8 plus Space Grey still did not receive it i really can nooot wait for it (it's my first iOS device in my life upgraded from my old 2gb ram android device)
For you older folks out there, my 74 yr old sister has been using the iphone 8 plus since it came out. She previously had Microsoft phones as they were easier for her after all of her experience working on laptops. She said the iphone was easiest for her to transition to from the Microsoft (computer system & phones) So, it might be something to think about. She is loving having her iphone connected to her mini SUV & as a retired nurse, this phone is doing fine for her but as she JUST retired, this phone traveled with her until a few months ago, while she was doing home health. Absolutely, I got an otterbox for her as her phone has fallen out of her scrubs a few times! Thanks for the video!!👍
I had an iPhone 8 plus for nearly 2 years. Than I sold it and bought an iPhone XR. I regretted it,the phone was smaller and I Iike big phones. So I still used it for 1,5 year and now I have an iPhone 11 pro Max and I'm happy 😊
I have both a 12 pro max and an 8 plus. The 12pm is my daily driver, but honestly the 8+ still holds up very well in comparison and IMO is still the best looking iPhone. If they do come out with an SE+ with the same design that will be my next phone. The camera & battery are better on the 12pm but otherwise, I really don't notice THAT much difference performance-wise. If you're looking for a great phone but don't have a lot to spend, a good condition used 8+ is an excellent option.
Totally agree with this. I typically sell my old iphone when I upgrade (usually every second model). I got a 12 pro max about 10 months ago, but still prefer the 8 plus as a reasonably lightweight allrounder. The extra weight of the 12 pro max gave me tennis elbow pain! As others have said, the 12PM has a superior camera, but the 8+ is definitely still a very relevant and usable model
I’ve had my iPhone 8 Plus for about a month I think and the battery life is amazing. I can use it the whole day and I don’t need to charge it. I only charge it through the night.
8+ is surely one of the top 5 iphones until now. I sold mine as I needed urgent cash and also because I started feeling its only minus.. The weight. Its not heavy like heavy. But I like light phones, don't mind having a smaller screen or plastic body, as I type and hold the phone a lot. Seeing movies is not my top priority. Making calls, taking notes, having atleast 256 memory as I store everything (and iphone is best in being able to find them.. Just save in notes with a name label), catching a quicky photo, having it in my pocket without me knowing it, holding it in one hand with my wallet etc are my priorities on a phone. So I'm either downgrading to a 8 or getting a se 2020 256
This phone is anything but durable as you said. My brand new 3 day out of the box iPhone 8 dropped from about 3 inches high (with a case) and the back is still shattered to this day, because repairing it costs more than the actual phone. I still use the phone and its still super fast and great but the back is a mess.
My iPhone 8 Plus still look new, no scratches or problems whatsoever. I was able to upgrade to the latest iOS with no problem 😉 I’ve had it since December 2017, purchased at 256 GB storage but only used 40 GB so far. No new iPhones for me hopefully for the next couple of years, I want to get as much out of my phone as possible before entertaining any new future iPhones. I’m pretty excited though that on the newer phones proposed for this year that the home button is coming back lol 😆 Nice video, your content is amazing 😎🙂
I currently have a iPhone 8 Plus with 256. This has been the best phone. I play my games , watch RUclips videos. It takes amazing photos. Fits in my pocket easily. I love my phone!
@@NuttnButKungfu To be honest, I don't think that OLED is the huge improvement that people make it out to be. The main advantage of the 12 Pro Max to me is just that the screen is bigger. The display quality of the 8 Plus still seems very good to me.
Great video, I didn’t own an iPhone 8 Plus, I had a 6S, then moved up to a 7 plus, then an XS, so I missed the 8 altogether, however after watching this review it appears to be a very competent phone even now several years after its launch!!.
My girlfriend just replaced hers for the iPhone 11 after 3.5 years of consecutive use, and I have to say that this phone really held its own. I replaced her screen multiple times and her battery one time. It still looks brand new especially that back glass.
I still have an iphone 7. I never had an iPhone without touch id. I don’t know the feeling of having face id and no home button, so i am still in love with touch id.
Hear me out. iPhone 8 Plus Touch ID bottom with 12 Pro size without notch. Best of both world. I love seeing my battery percentage without having to pull the corner screen down.
I prefer the 8 + over the xr and 11. I just downgraded to it from my 11 - I prefer the wider display and it's full 1080P 401 ppi opposed to the 11 which has 326 ppi and isnt full 1080P.
I use iPhone 8 plus since it was out. Till today I got my screen changed 6 times and back panel changed twice, I still dont feel like changing it. It's still a lovely phone to use.
I *ALMOST* got the 8 Plus the year that the XS Series was released and ended up getting the XS Max from my old iPhone 7. Ive always wanted the plus sized phone and thankfully fate let me wait til the XS Max came out lol but this phone still looks worthy to buy!
I love my 8plus cus the phone is just a tad wider which makes it better to type on in portrait mode. Also the 8plus is a beast. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got iOS 18 or even 19 if Apple really try’s
My iPhone 11 Pro fell from my pocket and broke its display, I always disliked older iPhones because of its big bezels but I had to go budget and buy iPhone 8+ and its amazing Im not thinking about changing it.
Just bought an Iphone 8 plus with 100 percent battery health and 256gb just made the best decision of my life. I am now using this as my secondary device with my Samsung S10e using IOS and Android combo is best. I am just annoyed that I can't charge it with my Iphone 6s plus charger but it works with an OEM charger from Alibaba. Also I am annoyed with the lock delay if I click the side button.
Using the iPhone 8 Plus I bought at release. Never used the lightning port! Much prefer the 16:9 screen for media and LCD as OLED makes me ill! NO NOTCH ruining the screen! Be keeping it a few more years!👍🏻
Finally someone mentions OLED! I'm considering waiting five years or so until Apple starts using a screen that isn't a torture device for the eyes and brain. The last LCD screen is the I phone 11 (not pro). I'm trying to figure out if the modem in the thing is worse than the modem in the iPhone 8 (I think it is).
As a legally blind (low vision) person, I often want to wear my iPhone 8 Plus on my wrist using an armband and because it has a bezel, I can use one that holds the phone in place safely without blocking the screen and this is not possible with any of the later models. Furthermore, one of my genetic eyesight disorders is nystagmus which I believe might prevent Face ID from working, although going to an Apple store does not allow anyone to test this without first buying a $1000 phone and optionally, immediately returning it. So I’m going to stick with my 8+ at least until Apple comes out with a new phone with touch ID and preferably also a bezel large enough to accommodate an armband which can hold a phone as firmly as the one I’m using… or until they come up with a 6 inch screen Apple Watch, which ever comes first.
Just upgraded from a 7plus to a 12pro. Didn’t take me long to get use to Face ID, but if Apple drop’s a phone this year in the same size & add Touch ID I’m probably gonna upgrade again and hold on to it for 5 years...
Had mine for over 3 years. Just replaced the battery and the charging port. Like new. Like the home button to log in. Only when touch id comes back to larger iPhone will I upgrade.
Since I got my iphone 8+ last year it works completely fine even in 2021. Not slow at all, functions very well for an older device and the battery life is still good since I'm not on it as much. Not thinking about upgrading to one of the newer iphones anytime soon. Great video Brandon.
@@abhishekverma20 iOS 14.4.2 has made the battery life terrible.. If I unplug the charger at 9.30am, by 3.30 pm my battery is around 25-30% and this is with normal usage. My battery health is 91%. I replaced it from Apple service center in November 2020 for around 3K and as on 5th April 2021 the battery health is 91%.
@@shae369 I’m thinking of getting the same colour too I had a gold 6s+ and had been using that for the past 4-5 years I always wanted a gold 8+ from the bottom of my heart and will return my iPhone 12 to get that and use that till apple completely removes the notch and gets the old curvy design back I’m very frustrated with iPhone 12’s new design and can’t stay comfortable it
Got mine 4y ago and still running smooth (sometimes the keyboard is not as fast as my writing anymore) but battery on 88% after this time and everyday watching yt videos
I have the 8+ but I’m gonna upgrade to the XS. The keyboard on mine doesn’t always type what I’m typing. Like wherever my text is supposed to show is just blank like im not typing until I close the keyboard and reopen it than boom everything I typed is there. Anybody else have this problem?
I have an 8 plus 256GB since the day it was released and I was willing to upgrade this year, buuuut had my doubts and after watching this video I won't do anything till 2021's iphone 13 or may be even the next year. Thanks for keeping my mind at peace :)
I have had this phone since release before that the 6s plus, when the 8 came out felt like I needed an upgrade, right now, my 8 plus still feels fast like the day I got it. The battery while not the best, still gets me through most of the day.
i bought iphone 8 plus about 3 years ago. it still works on today, no any repair, and no any faults. battery health has never been replaced, it is still 92% because i don't usually use my phone much (expect for some times). however i will upgrade to new iphone soon, as i don't think my iphone 8 plus will still be supported to future ios for longer 😕
I can easily go through a day on my 8 PLUS(I'm at around 85% health). It usually averages 2. Google Duo calls drain my battery the most for some reason. But I mostly surf the web and use messaging and some youtube. I did watch a video about making your battery last longer by disabling some things tho, the battery savings must have been massive if you're only getting 5 hours.
There are some things that are better on the 8+ compared to 11 and 12. I’ve noticed games have a really stable FPS on the 8+ (at least on older iOS), better than on my 12 pro max

@@NuttnButKungfu To be honest, I don't think that OLED is the huge improvement that people make it out to be. The main advantage of the 12 Pro Max to me is just that the screen is bigger. The display quality of the 8 Plus still seems very good to me.
@@jayb8934 hmm thanks for your honest assessment
Great video, I didn’t own an iPhone 8 Plus, I had a 6S, then moved up to a 7 plus, then an XS, so I missed the 8 altogether, however after watching this review it appears to be a very competent phone even now several years after its launch!!.
In my opinion the 8 plus is THE best looking iPhone out there.
Stop making the Iphone 5s cry.
Except for it’s weirdly tiny power button on the side.
no the iPhone 11 is
Agreed
@@jonteyt9737 it's not
My wife has an 8 Plus; it's a great phone.
My girlfriend just replaced hers for the iPhone 11 after 3.5 years of consecutive use, and I have to say that this phone really held its own. I replaced her screen multiple times and her battery one time. It still looks brand new especially that back glass.
my dream iphone, one day i will have one, hope it won't be too late
Wish u dha best❤❤
I still have an iphone 7. I never had an iPhone without touch id. I don’t know the feeling of having face id and no home button, so i am still in love with touch id.
@rAy Lopèz It’s expensive
Hear me out. iPhone 8 Plus Touch ID bottom with 12 Pro size without notch. Best of both world. I love seeing my battery percentage without having to pull the corner screen down.
iPhone 8 was very relevant to me because Verizon gave me a $700 credit towards an iPhone 12. And my service plan rate went down substantially.
Watching this video using 8 plus..still great after changing the battery..
How much is the cost when changing battery?
Xr gang where you at
Here 256 GB Black
👋🏽
I don’t have an xr but I want it it’s my dream phone
@@gonulguclu don’t worry, you’ll get it. It took me a year to save for mines😊
128 White color broo
Yay, I was waiting for this only
I prefer the 8 + over the xr and 11. I just downgraded to it from my 11 - I prefer the wider display and it's full 1080P 401 ppi opposed to the 11 which has 326 ppi and isnt full 1080P.
SAme here
Still kicking mine, it still looks brand new
I use iPhone 8 plus since it was out. Till today I got my screen changed 6 times and back panel changed twice, I still dont feel like changing it. It's still a lovely phone to use.
6 times😮??
I *ALMOST* got the 8 Plus the year that the XS Series was released and ended up getting the XS Max from my old iPhone 7. Ive always wanted the plus sized phone and thankfully fate let me wait til the XS Max came out lol but this phone still looks worthy to buy!
I love my 8plus cus the phone is just a tad wider which makes it better to type on in portrait mode. Also the 8plus is a beast. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got iOS 18 or even 19 if Apple really try’s
My iPhone 11 Pro fell from my pocket and broke its display, I always disliked older iPhones because of its big bezels but I had to go budget and buy iPhone 8+ and its amazing Im not thinking about changing it.
Please bro is the phone having a good camera 🎥 quality and good portrait
@@ndzindongmuhcystus2941 cameras quality is good but in portrait mode.... not good as iphone x+ of course but still gets the job done
Thanks
My brother still own iphone8+ this as well as my mother. They love this since we all wear mask this pandemic.
Upgrade from my 8+ to this 12 PM last year as my battery was at 80% and I just kinda wanted the upgrade haha
Exactly the same for me as well
@@justinmorales9597 I never upgrade every year but I honestly might if next years has Pro motion 👀
Hey ima android person and im swaping over to iphone the first iphone ill buy is the iphone 8+ is that a good first Iphone
@@cdh9177 yes it’s a very good phone. I’m using it right now. It’s very solid.
Just bought an Iphone 8 plus with 100 percent battery health and 256gb just made the best decision of my life. I am now using this as my secondary device with my Samsung S10e using IOS and Android combo is best. I am just annoyed that I can't charge it with my Iphone 6s plus charger but it works with an OEM charger from Alibaba. Also I am annoyed with the lock delay if I click the side button.
Using the iPhone 8 Plus I bought at release.
Never used the lightning port!
Much prefer the 16:9 screen for media and LCD as OLED makes me ill! NO NOTCH ruining the screen!
Be keeping it a few more years!👍🏻
Finally someone mentions OLED! I'm considering waiting five years or so until Apple starts using a screen that isn't a torture device for the eyes and brain.
The last LCD screen is the I phone 11 (not pro). I'm trying to figure out if the modem in the thing is worse than the modem in the iPhone 8 (I think it is).
As a legally blind (low vision) person, I often want to wear my iPhone 8 Plus on my wrist using an armband and because it has a bezel, I can use one that holds the phone in place safely without blocking the screen and this is not possible with any of the later models.
Furthermore, one of my genetic eyesight disorders is nystagmus which I believe might prevent Face ID from working, although going to an Apple store does not allow anyone to test this without first buying a $1000 phone and optionally, immediately returning it.
So I’m going to stick with my 8+ at least until Apple comes out with a new phone with touch ID and preferably also a bezel large enough to accommodate an armband which can hold a phone as firmly as the one I’m using… or until they come up with a 6 inch screen Apple Watch, which ever comes first.
I got a iPhone 8 Plus today and it’s really great
Just upgraded from a 7plus to a 12pro. Didn’t take me long to get use to Face ID, but if Apple drop’s a phone this year in the same size & add Touch ID I’m probably gonna upgrade again and hold on to it for 5 years...
Rocking this phone for 4 years + already. This is why it's so difficult to make that decision to upgrade
Had mine for over 3 years. Just replaced the battery and the charging port. Like new. Like the home button to log in. Only when touch id comes back to larger iPhone will I upgrade.
Since I got my iphone 8+ last year it works completely fine even in 2021. Not slow at all, functions very well for an older device and the battery life is still good since I'm not on it as much. Not thinking about upgrading to one of the newer iphones anytime soon. Great video Brandon.
I'm using it.. battery life has become a big concern now. I replaced my battery from official Apple service center but still the battery life is bad.
For normal usage can it give a full day charge?
@@abhishekverma20 iOS 14.4.2 has made the battery life terrible.. If I unplug the charger at 9.30am, by 3.30 pm my battery is around 25-30% and this is with normal usage. My battery health is 91%. I replaced it from Apple service center in November 2020 for around 3K and as on 5th April 2021 the battery health is 91%.
waiting for my ip 8+ to arrive. Can't wait so gonna marathon all videos about 8 plus. My first iphone.
Which colour ?
@@muja_hid7273 i got gold colour! Using this iphone 8+ for 1 month already and i really love it
@@shae369 I’m thinking of getting the same colour too
I had a gold 6s+ and had been using that for the past 4-5 years
I always wanted a gold 8+ from the bottom of my heart and will return my iPhone 12 to get that and use that till apple completely removes the notch and gets the old curvy design back
I’m very frustrated with iPhone 12’s new design and can’t stay comfortable it
@@muja_hid7273 yeah, i actually buy the iphone 8+ for the same reason, eventhough some people may say it looks old fashioned but i really like it.
@@shae369 lmao old FasHiOnEd
Those people got no taste lol
Apple iPhones after X/Xs lost their uniqueness in camera design
Got mine 4y ago and still running smooth (sometimes the keyboard is not as fast as my writing anymore) but battery on 88% after this time and everyday watching yt videos
I have the 8+ but I’m gonna upgrade to the XS. The keyboard on mine doesn’t always type what I’m typing. Like wherever my text is supposed to show is just blank like im not typing until I close the keyboard and reopen it than boom everything I typed is there. Anybody else have this problem?
6S plus and X user here!
This phones still a beast. I have an iPhone X and smaller 8. Just need an 8 Plus to complete my 2017 collection!
Just recently bought the iPhone 8 for 190 such a great deal
i used to have a 8 plus i recently upgraded to a 12 pro and in loving it
I have an 8 plus 256GB since the day it was released and I was willing to upgrade this year, buuuut had my doubts and after watching this video I won't do anything till 2021's iphone 13 or may be even the next year. Thanks for keeping my mind at peace :)
I thought the iPhone 4 is the first glass back iPhone?
I upgraded to the 12 Pro Max from an 8 Plus. I would have kept it longer if it wasn't at 85% battery capacity with the battery draining faster.
I upgraded from an 8 plus to 11 pro and I miss that 8 plus so much! Easily my favorite phone I have ever owned.
I upgraded to XS and I still miss my 8 Plus. If I didn't break it I'd still own it today
I have had this phone since release before that the 6s plus, when the 8 came out felt like I needed an upgrade, right now, my 8 plus still feels fast like the day I got it. The battery while not the best, still gets me through most of the day.
I switched from Samsung s9 oled Qhd plus screen to iphone 8 plus and I didn’t see the difference at all , i like iphone colours more
I’ve been using my iPhone 8 Plus for 2 years now been in case since new looks like a new one wouldn’t have anything else great phone
i bought iphone 8 plus about 3 years ago. it still works on today, no any repair, and no any faults. battery health has never been replaced, it is still 92% because i don't usually use my phone much (expect for some times). however i will upgrade to new iphone soon, as i don't think my iphone 8 plus will still be supported to future ios for longer 😕
It’s expected to be supported for at least 2 more years.
Why do you think that? I think you're mistaken, and the iPhone 8 will be supported for at least two more years, and maybe four or more.
I can easily go through a day on my 8 PLUS(I'm at around 85% health). It usually averages 2. Google Duo calls drain my battery the most for some reason. But I mostly surf the web and use messaging and some youtube. I did watch a video about making your battery last longer by disabling some things tho, the battery savings must have been massive if you're only getting 5 hours.
I have an iPhone 11 but still using my 8 plus. Great phone,no problems whatsoever. Lighter than the 11. I love it .
Ahh, that battery % is so goood!
Yes it is 🥰🥰
Still using mine! If it wasn’t for the face mask inconvenience , I would have switch to the 12 mini last year.
im on mini. got it for $400 with trade in... best deal imo.
There are some things that are better on the 8+ compared to 11 and 12. I’ve noticed games have a really stable FPS on the 8+ (at least on older iOS), better than on my 12 pro max
