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.

      Like it or not, most of these sites do objective testing, and while you can agree or disagree, it's insulting (and possibly libelous) when you make accusations of payoffs.

          Also no one is forcing you to buy an iPhone, most people who say that have low self esteem, and are annoyed that they HAVE to buy one to show off or worry too much what people think of them. Just chill. Do people buying luxury items all feel they are being stolen from? Ferrari buyers? Diamonds? Vertu phones? Bang & Olufsen products?

          The very nature of luxury items is that there is an intangible quality which people desire, and iPhones are certainly marketed slightly towards the luxury end of things. You like it, buy it. You don't like it, buy an Android.

                This is called stealing by hiding information.

                            Its time to remove microsd and 3.5mm jack from disadvantages IMO.. It is time for people to move on.. It is like saying "USB Type C" is a disadvantage..
