Really? You liked it? I found it a pinch too disingenuous with the excessive b-roll panning, the awkward/unatural increase in pitches of the narrator's otherwise very monotone voice, and the banal technique of placing other objects behind and/or around the main subjects of the camera. This type of contemporary, modern, silicon valley-esque directing is worn out, in my opinion. The only person that still does it well is Marques Brownley, but even his execution is starting to become quite apparent. For me, the illusion only works so long as the cinematography can be appreciated but not identified.
Savannah Lorén but this playing on that. The camera work is saying ... this is cereal on a silver platter. The camera 🎥 is saying, there is no content here, don't bother. Very ironic, very true. The video is just a excuse to show off some awesome camera work. Fancy
Yes it's not much different from year to year but when your someone like me who has a iPhone 5s and you might be getting a 10 or 8 things DRASTICALLY get better

@@greg8214 My S7 became so slow after a year and I have friends who have iphone 6's and 7's and they're way snappier... got myself an iphone 8 and I'm loving it , these are snappy snappy
To be honest this phone was probably designed before the 7, they just had to remove some stuff so they could actually bring a few upgrades the next year
One of the best detailed reviews. Love Nilay’s reference to design and comparing the iPhone8Plus to previous generations. But like was mentioned, the iPhone X is probably better to wait for given how close the top end 8 Plus is with the iPhone X.
If you don't have a iPhone and want a new one, get the 8. If you have 6/7 and want a new one, then 8 is nothing special, 10 or nothing, or even Note ..
Can i just comment on the host of this clip real quick? He puts everything together so effortlessly. A joy to watch him get me up to speed on the latest iPhone development. Thanks dude!
This review is THE BEST of the iPhone 8 reviews out there. I don't like to comment much but I had to because this review was so honest and so complete. Thank you for this.
Well, you can, you just have to put it back afterwards. Still, wireless charging is complete nonsense with those charging speeds. Everybody expected Apple to be holding off on this feature to make it right, and not to deliver the same crap that has been on the market since the beginning of the decade. Now, one has to wonder why they were holding off in the first place.
Best iPhone 8, 8 Plus and Iphone X Video to date. I very much appreciate the direct and straight forward comments and thoughts 💪. Great Job guys. You put it all into aspect to each other.
I currently have a Silver iPhone 6S Plus with 16GB and I just got done ordering my Silver iPhone 8 Plus with 64GB and I can't wait for it to be delivered!
This is my personal opinion, but I love the design of the 8, as he keeps reiterating that it's not the best design I really like the sleek modern design, especially the gold having a contrast between the aluminium frame then the blush pink/ cream back. That is my opinion as he said he doesn't like it but I like how they have refined the phone giving it extra details like the aluminium around the 8 camera lenses to make it pop, whether it is better than the Samsung I can't say until I get to have a look at this beautiful phone
Went from an s8 to 8plus and it feels so much better .... the screen ration is way better. Haptic feedback is awesome. Software too. Tried the X for some time but i just didnt like the Face ID and gestures .... to digitalized.
i thought i is big also, but when i start using it its perfect, might be only little heavy. Upgraded from iphone 7 and display looks to me small now and not coming back.
The iPhone 8 plus is very fast and is getting faster with every update. I own the one since mid November and it’s a joy to use. Camera is good, audio is awesome, battery is good, software is delightful as usual. I can recommend it to everybody
If only iPhone 8/8 Plus had a headphone jack I'd buy it in an instant. It would be a complete and perfected package, but without it something's missing (and that thing is convenience). I could even pay an extra for a headphone jack
emp0rizzle yeah, at home when I need a connection more stable and faster than wifi, or when I'm somewhere that gives the customers access to the ethernet I strongly prefer it over wifi
I still prefer the wired earphones that came with my 6S Plus. I have this JBL pair of bluetooth earbuds and oh my god the audio delay is terrible. Considering I paid a lot of money for those earbuds I was very dissapointed and made it clear to myself to just stick to my normal earphones. Plus, you have to worry about battery life and when you turn on bluetooth on your phone, it consumes the battery faster. I see no point in wireless earbuds unless you are JUST that EXTREMELY flustered with cables. I do use a wireless keyboard and mouse though.

While I understand the X is better than the VIII, and while those bezels on the VIII NEED to go, the VIII is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the X in my opinion.
Aesthetically, the iPhone 8 looks better than the iPhone 10 (especially the gold/sand colored one), with a more justifiable price, and all of the same internals. I’d rather save money, keep Touch ID, and have extra bezel, than lose a home button, spends hundreds extra, and have a less aesthetically pleasing device.
Pablo Arias Máiz you realize that so few companies use LCD screens now that saying that Apple makes the best LCD screens really isn't saying much. No competition in old screen technology since everyone has moved to OLED.
jayount not true. There are still plenty of LCD screens out there. Essential phone, almost all htc's, sony, Most LGs including the G6, Huawei... you name it. That said, there are also some pentile oled screens out there that are worst than some LCDs
iPhone 4 was the nicest design to date, stainless steel band was hard to damage and looked amazing, it was heavy and almost felt like a piece of jewlery. iPhone 5 as well. That's the same reason I still rock my iPhone 5s...
Got a iphone6 and kinda want something different and don't feel like staring at my phone to unlock it every time so I'm kinda feeling like the Iphone8Plus is my next phone
I just went from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 6s Plus. I wanted to go back and enjoy one of the best iPhones ever created and I gotta say, it holds up amazingly well in 2019. If you are gonna get a plus phone and you’re on a budget definitely pick up a 6s Plus. I got mine for $150... at that price you just can’t lose. It’s pretty much the same exact phone as the other +’s. However, next year i’m gonna pick up the iPhone 8 plus. Great video!

I am actually all in on going completely "portless" on the phone side (given Apple includes faster wireless charging without overheating issues), but what about the iPad and other accessories (like the Magic Keyboard, etc.)?
Darcer's Tech Good point! I really don't know what Apple is going to do about the iPad and those accessories. For those devices, there is less reason to stick to Lightning than with the iPhone but at the same time more reason to adopt USB-C instead of wireless.
I want to upgrade from my 2014 nexus 5. Was thinking of getting my first ever Iphone. Would the 8-64GB be a good option? Or maybe 7+ 128GB? X is not an option. Thanks!
Paulo Henrique L. Fernandes I recommend 64 GB if your a heavy user than 128 due to more apps, videos, and photos on there Also I like into the iPhone 6s if I was you that phone is a steal right now for the price but you do you
I was thinking 600U$, but it seems that it can only buy the 7-32GB, which I dont want because of the limited storage. I was looking for a minimium of 64GB, so I raised the bar to 700U$
i am upgrading for my nephew this info is invaluable. i'm going to look for your review of 10. The monetary diff for me is $18+ a month vs $25+ a month on my verizon plan to upgrade from I Phone 5s. I would like something HARD TO BREAK, cuz my nephew manages to crack so many screens despite Otter Boxes that I don't even WANT to get him a replacement phone for real. I really just wanna cancel the service, but as a teen he needs a phone for emergencies.. smh i'm leaning towards the 8, just for the $18/month price tag, but wonder is $7 more for the 10 is greater value...
Hi, great review. Do one ASAP on the iPhone X, can't wait. Where could I get those cool wallpapers? on the iPhone's 8/8+ you test, please, really like them.
I got the iPhone 8 Plus instead of the X because of the bezels. I’m still a fan of the home button. I’ll always love iPhones original layout.
Thought the same

same here man. I currently have a 6s, I'm going to upgrade to the 8 plus next month. I love the home button.

10 Years Ago, who would have ever thought a phone would cost $1000

Phones used to be about 400$ and less 😞
People that didn’t say
Back in my day (rest of sentence)
10years from now phones will be millions of dollars
10 years ago who would have thought a phone would be so much more than a phone?
Wow. The production value on this is crazy. Felt like I was watching a documentary.

i wish the 8 had the 8plus features. Hands are too small for such a big phone.

“Carnies. Small hands. Smell like cabbage.”

Same, I heard the 8 plus battery is rly good
I can't be the only one who likes Bezels? 😂

Damn, that videography!!! 🔥
You should check out their Note8 review. They also make really great non tech related videos on their main channel, Vox.
Their musical videos are great, but the rest is leftist propaganda.
Really? You liked it? I found it a pinch too disingenuous with the excessive b-roll panning, the awkward/unatural increase in pitches of the narrator's otherwise very monotone voice, and the banal technique of placing other objects behind and/or around the main subjects of the camera. This type of contemporary, modern, silicon valley-esque directing is worn out, in my opinion. The only person that still does it well is Marques Brownley, but even his execution is starting to become quite apparent. For me, the illusion only works so long as the cinematography can be appreciated but not identified.
Savannah Lorén this.

I wish the XS gold was the same as the 8. So beautiful 😭
😂😂😂
Wow. You really have nothing nice to say about this phone. Great confidence booster for people who already bought the phone.
The iPhone 5 & 5s was my favourite design.
Dexter Flannel I was wondering if it was sane to buy an SE in 2017-18?
Sure, it's a great budget phone. Starting price just dropped down to $349.
There might be an SE 2 in the summer I would get that one if you can wait
I would love an iPhone SE that had the specs and design of the X without the hideous notch
I think I would agree

The con of wireless charge is you can’t lift the phone up during charging
Kyonika can you lift the pad while charging or will it stop?
Well, you can, you just have to put it back afterwards. Still, wireless charging is complete nonsense with those charging speeds. Everybody expected Apple to be holding off on this feature to make it right, and not to deliver the same crap that has been on the market since the beginning of the decade. Now, one has to wonder why they were holding off in the first place.
Kyonika thank you finally someone brought this up. Wireless charging makes no sense to me
olli2591 I don't give two shits about wireless charging, I personally am always on my phone and use it whiles it charges
I think it's just handy to put it down next to your computer when gaming or sleeping and get that little bit of extra juice
One of the best RUclips Tech Review. The Way It was presented it was awesome. Good JOb Niley Patel & The director of the video.

It only supports quick charge is through the separate adapter you have to buy but not fast wireless charging like the galaxy phones
Frankie Vazquez are u dumb, that is so incorrect.
RobotFacts he's right u need to buy a separate adapter
Riptide1200 Plays obviously you need to buy a qi wireless charger, but you don’t need to buy an adapter to use it on the iPhone 8/8+ and X
Oh I didn't see wireless I was talking bout something else

That's a very stupid statement. When possible, just like headphones, a wired connection is ALWAYS better.
Iceweasel haha nope. Wireless still lacks the quality a bit and is limited by battery life
I still prefer the wired earphones that came with my 6S Plus. I have this JBL pair of bluetooth earbuds and oh my god the audio delay is terrible.

Did you hear what he said. Apple only gave him gold and silver.
Smart Craft I was talking about all of RUclips after the event
I think Apple is giving out reviewers only those colors.
While I understand the X is better than the VIII, and while those bezels on the VIII NEED to go, the VIII is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the X in my opinion.
Always a pleasure to hear Nilay's practical criticism of a product. He should take charge of benchmark products.

you dont get "different" from an Iphone.
Joseph Harding literally same - I have an iPhone 6 and wouldn’t mind an 8 Plus, the the Galaxy S8’s screen.... ughhh
Why couldn't Apple have just put a Touch ID on the back of the phone aswell as having face Id or whatever
Playdust cause what’s the point?

Great iPhone 6ssss!
These phones are too expensive for what they are. Also, someone please tell Apple that they should finally ditch Lightning in favor of USB-C...
Darcer's Tech yes! apple put only usb-c on their computers but refused to put it where it matters, their phones!
They won't do it. The next step after Lightning is without ports.
I am actually all in on going completely "portless" on the phone side (given Apple includes faster wireless charging without overheating issues), but what about the iPad and other accessories (like the Magic Keyboard, etc.)?
YES USB C I WANT A WIRED STANDARD FOR HEADPHONES THAT ISNT 3.5 mm audio jack since that's dead and gone on iPhone
Darcer's Tech Good point! I really don't know what Apple is going to do about the iPad and those accessories. For those devices, there is less reason to stick to Lightning than with the iPhone but at the same time more reason to adopt USB-C instead of wireless.
Verge - well presented, nice work!

Answered all my questions 👏🏽thank you!
I gotta say my opinion of Nilay has severely changed as a result of this video, in a positive direction. I sense the Apple bias is weakening.
Frans Stal you fandriod’s are just pathetic
probably the best review ive watched. thanks verge
Very nicely done review! Loved all the shots you had on here. I could literally picture this on a tv segment
i am upgrading for my nephew this info is invaluable. i'm going to look for your review of 10. The monetary diff for me is $18+ a month vs $25+ a month on my verizon plan to upgrade from I Phone 5s. I would like something HARD TO BREAK, cuz my nephew manages to crack so many screens despite Otter Boxes that I don't even WANT to get him a replacement phone for real. I really just wanna cancel the service, but as a teen he needs a phone for emergencies.. smh i'm leaning towards the 8, just for the $18/month price tag, but wonder is $7 more for the 10 is greater value...
when you still hold on to the iphone 5s..........
Hi, great review. Do one ASAP on the iPhone X, can't wait.
Where could I get those cool wallpapers? on the iPhone's 8/8+ you test, please, really like them.
you are very right about the iphone 8 being for upgraders. I had the 6s and now im getting the 8 which seems great
Crazy...The Nexus 6p is still a top phone compared to today's releases. Typing this on my iPhone 7
I love my iPhone 8 it is the best phone I have ever had so far!!
5:45 “ but there’s not a ton of Bluetooth 5.0 devices Me: but there is Bluetooth 4.0,4.1 or 4.2 devices that will still work.
Face ID is cool but it’s not a must have
Fantastic review. This guy really is a credit to the Verge.
"the iPhone 8's design is outdated" 😂 The iPhone SE 3rd Gen just released with the exact same design as the iPhone 8 in 2022 - 5 years later.
