What is recommended to buy? Iphone 7 plus or 8? I'll just use it for my social media accounts. No gaming and such.

andwae, 11 Sep 2022If they stop supporting and updating iphone 8, can I still ... moreYes, Probably next year they will stop ios support and facebook, whatsapp etc. will be no more in 2025.
Usually 2 more years work for major apps after last ios support.
One day it was gold and one day ll'be not even coal. Really technology never stop.

andwae, 08 Sep 2022I'm sorry to ask this question since I have never had ... moreNo major updates such as the current IOS 15 to IOS 16, eg. Iphone 7 cannot be upgraded to IOS 16, so iphone 8 is likely to be dropped from major updates maybe next year.
But Security updates indefinitely until 2-4 years after a technology change. Eg, Iphone 5s and 6 are both still getting security updates for major security issues. However the technology change of 32bit phones to 64 bit (iphone 5 is 32bit but iphone 5s is 64bit) meant that 32bit phones were completely dropped in 2017, 3-4 years after the change.
No security updates means being wide-open to malware/viruses often delivered through ads and pdfs but also through poisoned pics and videos, so basically impossible to avoid. Malware is one way bank accounts or crypto wallets are hacked, also email accounts such as when house sales send bank details to the buyer who then thinks the email came from the estate agent and send all the cash to criminals. And they generally don't send it back haha

I'm sorry to ask this question since I have never had an iphone before. What does it mean when they say apple will not support or update this particular iphone unit? What will happen if they will not support it anymore? Will it stop working? I have watched some review videos saying that this particular iphone I want to purchase will not get any support.

Pp, 11 Aug 2022Guys i wanna buy iphone 8 but i'm already have poco f3... moreI have one I use as a business phone line. it doesnt get as much use as my main android phone with dual sim poco f3 , and I try not to download any apps on it I dont need. the battery usually lasts for 2 days. I think to try it as a daily driver would be a major downgrade from a poco F3 even an 8 plus

Anonymous, 26 Jun 2022Please is there any disadvantages about the phone??Depending on your usage, battery life is the biggest disadvantage of this phone. Even with new battery and 100% battery health, this phone gets 4.5h of SoT (without gaming).
Also, is LCD screen, and even though is a good LCD display, is no match for Oled displays (like iPhone 12 Mini, 13 Mini, iPhone X, Xs, etc.).
As pluses, you have a relatively small phone for 2022 standards. Also, the Home button could be considered a plus (still better and more practical than Face ID in my opinion). Another plus is the good software optimization and lag free experience. Compared with any 200-250EUR Android phone is much better optimized. But, it looks outdated.
Depends on you in the end. If you never had iPhone before, this iPhone 8 could be a nice first experience into IOS. If you came from older iPhone (like SE1, 6, 6s, 7), I recommend better model (something like iPhone SE3 or iPhone 12 Mini).
