User opinions and reviews

Who’s using the 8 Plus in 2025? I am (so is my mum) and I may still be for years to come. We’ll see. The 8 Plus is a good phone. I did my research before buying it, back in the second half of 2021. The 6 Plus I had before was a good ph...

Apple should make a new iPhone that’s full-screen (by using an under-display camera) and they should also add Touch ID under-display or to the power button or to the back of the phone. Other phones have these features. Come on Apple, you can do it!

If you have the app (e.g. Netflix) installed before it requires iOS 17.0 or later then you can keep using the older version. I had Netflix installed before so I can continue to use it but I don’t really use it anyway.
