Apple iPhone 8 Plus review

30 September 2017
In another place and another time, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus would have been one of the hottest things around. Swathed in hype, causing a stir, bringing the free ride of the competition's flagships to an abrupt and painful halt.

      1 min 4K video 16 bit = 50mb
      Do math yourself

        The P10 plus does not have an OLED screen. Please correct that.

        Anyway, the CPU performance reminds me of Google's Pixel. I mean, Google can't charge iPhone prices because the iPhone has a superior SoC. The Pixel's display is AMOLED but still, Google simply can't charge that much for their Pixel phones.

                      Claiming touchwiz is so supposedly terrible compared to stock droids...or any droid is no different then when all the iOS users claim that only iphone is optimized and runs well while every single android out there is laggy bug ridden security failures.

                      All just a bunch of jealous fanboy hate and spreading lies.

                            This is a great phone that's really overshadowed by the iPhone X. Yeah yeah the design is REALLY outdated but the internals are top notch. The camera quality is amazing, and the video recording capabilities are unheard of. Great device, underrated.

So they will make something that has been in android world for years. But, you know isheeps will said 'optimisation is better'. They don't know out there still have great android phones. Example, sony, pixel, nokia and so on in term of updates. Those brands offers more great in all aspects.

Isheep will defending apple and said 'optimisation is more important' but iphones still got bad battery life, capacity also important because optimisation only is not enough. Optimisation+capacity is the truly beast. Example, sony xperia xz1 compact, all in one,very good phone and got endurance rating that close to double ip7's battery life. However, whatever we have said to them, they will say the same thing. This happened cuz most of isheeps are lack of knowledges about tech, for them, brand more important than anything lol...

Oh well I can use earpods... Sure...Nice option. But why should you be forced to it? Or it comes with lightning headphones. Not every model. And neither the included headphones for some models in some countries nor the ear pods can match the quality of the headphones included with the S8 or Note8.
                                        Oh I can use an adapter. Why should you have to??????????

                                        I can use any of those options as well...But I don't have to. And I surely am not defending a company for forcing it on me. Even if it's something that doesn't personally bother me Im still smart enough to know it's cutting corners, ripping off, and taking away from the people that do use it.
                                        Like when people defend poor front camera quality because they think selfies are only for teens and self absorbed....or that is the only use for a front camera.

                                        Same with mono sound, headset jack, lower battery capacities, less ram, weak front camera, no good chargers included, and so on with apple. All just cutting corners to make profit...and still charge more at the same time.
                                        Why? Because they can and no matter what they lack there is an ifan there defending why its so optimized or that missing feature is no longer important.
                                        Need something? There's a sheep for that LOL
