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.

Ok, ok, ok, pretty beautiful, you know, but what about this video: https://youtu.be/8kpD3XCp49o clearly shows how a well optimized sistem works better, 'cause in practice yeah the iphone looks pretty atronador but in real time performance the gap is not as the say

I am talking about real worl performance where u open multiple apps. Look u can laugh about what i said, but thats my experience n u cant change that. I really wanted to try iphone regardless of the price as i love the ui in my ipad, mac laptop and desktop but hesitated coz of the limited modification u can do with ur iphone like rooting it. So ho laugh at what i said, coz u cant take the fact that my xiaomi was faster. Let me reword it, snappier. Prolly its just the ui, but i can justify paying more than a grand for the limited stuff i can do. Oh by the way my desktop is a hackintosh coz i know i can have a way much faster hardware for the same amiunt of money i can have buying a mac rig. Laughing like u know everything, i bet u havent used xiaomi in ur life, try it n u will know what i mean. Dont be a brand snob, dummo.

                  And that alone does not make everything better on iPhone. The galaxy still has better battery life, display, cameras, and functions.
                  And if it's that bad obviously you should try a reset. Sometimes you have to do that with any phone. Even an iPhone.

It was the first iPhone to record video. Vga. While Samsung had already brought the world's first phone capable of recording 720p. And the only that could play 720p.
                        Abe that 3mp cam with no flash compared ri the 8mp with flash.

                        And the best part was after the update that followed the release of the 3gs finally finally finally allowed iOS users to send and receive MMS. In later 2009.
                        I mean simply revolutionary.
                        And this is what you are using? And this is what you base your protect the Apple hive mind at any cost off of.
                        How sad

Now try something heavier like Asphalt 8 or make a video on lapseit, you will be ashamed, even your flashy new HTC U11 won't be able to keep up.

                                        It's not exploding batteries. It's Apples newest and thus far kept secret function. After listening to comments of consumers, Apple decided to add the 'user-replaceable' battery. Just connect your new iPhone to the charger, wait for about 1 hour and you can take out the battery and replace it with a new one. We call it 'seamless replacement'.
