So I manage to buy used 8, just under 2yr old in a really great condition for just 120€ and for now I’m loving it! Battery health is at 83% so I’ll have to replace it in a near future and original one cost about 50€ in Croatia. First impressions- I love the size of the phone (I used Mate 20 pro till now) and the simplicity of the iOS. Drawback- the simplicity of the iOS. :) Missing capable File explorer and Android ease of use.
But I have to say iOS 14 is way better then 13 that I had on XS year and a half ago.
I also love the classic look of the phone. But the size is what counts most for me since I got tired of carying big heavy phones around.

DexterHR, 10 Sep 2021Sorry for your experience. Did you bought second hand 8? Ma... moreNo, it wasn't second hand. I got it in November 2019
There were 3 iPhone 8s left by then and the price had dropped to 500 euros so i went and picked it up.
Battery started draining faster in June 2020 and kept getting worse.
By the end of 2020 i had to charge the phone up to 3 times a day.
Throughout 2021, i haven't noticed any drastic changes, but i can't be too sure with it
I'm thinking about replacing it, but i don't know about any trusted stores where i can be sure they won't scam me with a bad battery. For now i'm gonna wait for ios 15 and see if that helps, otherwise i'll have to ask around

Worst battery i've ever seen on a smartphone.
I leave it turned off overnight while i'm sleeping and it goes down by atleast 15%, wifi is also turned off
While i'm using it constantly it can't even last 2 hours.
When i played Genshin Impact it went from 100% to 20% in 1 hour and 40 mins
Battery health says it's 97% and it's still garbage

Will rethink few more days, maybe something really cheap comes out. :D
Thanks anyway!

It's nearly impossible to find a new one as Apple hasn't been selling them for more than a year now
You might want to check out the SE tho

Hello everybody!
I'm interested in buying iphone 8 to replace my Mate 20 pro. To be honest, I'm getting sick of big phones and looking for something compact. As 12 mini is way out of my budget, I'm considering this. Second hand costs about 200 euros in my country.
My only concern about it is battery life, mostly because it don't come with fast charger included. On Mate I have 40W charger so I don't ever care about battery since I can top it in 15 mins to last me a day.
I don't play games and don't use social networks except YT. I use phone for calls, few mail accounts, texting, YT.
Will 8 be able to survive my day from 5am to 10pm?
Thanks!

I sold my iPhone 8 after a month because of serious battery life issues. It lasts about 2 hours in games and 3 hours of video playback. If you want an iPhone that doesn't have to be charged multiple times a day, get an 11 and avoid the 8.

I personally don’t, because my iPhone is always in my pocket, but my iPad isn‘t. And when I want a bigger screen for something like YouTube, I actually use a MacBook because the screen stands up on its own and is adjustable to multiple angles and more stable at that.

ric, 28 Jul 2021i am confused now i want to try iphone 8 im planning to swa... moreiPhone has all it best, No problem like Note8 Oled Greenscreen and USB port issue, Slow synchro flash helps at low light, Best performance and Best photo cam, even only PDAF but fast, Fluid Hardware even with Low RAM but the iOS is only closed source and fully optimised, No worry with it, IPS LCD Dci P3 nears the OLED and similar with Samsung and LG display, but LCD has less problematic since it already perfect, No Edge Class so can put tempered glass without problem

Anonymous, 31 Jul 2021Swap Note 8 for iPhone 8????? Hahahahhaha is this a joke?? ... moreActually this is the better choice maybe, can you suggest other phone that better than iphone 8? Note8? Amoled and Green Screen issue? Or Edge screen that can't install tempered Glass? Also prone to damage more, i have seen several Note8 who sells in very low price, just because of Cracked Edge Glass or Green Screen issue
Yes Amoled will prone to green screen especially with very high ppi density not always because of damage, the software update can causing this too

Hello
I have iPhone 11 , I’m thinking about changing it with (iPhone 8 and ipad 8gen) and split my daily use between them…
Is that a good deal ?
How is the iPhone 8 battery in normal daily usage without gaming ?
