Apple iPhone 8 review

02 October 2017
This should have been a 7S. That simple. But it’s complicated. Too complicated perhaps for Apple as we used to know it.

Iphone is the best when it comes to security.

for android to be secure ? you wont be able to use half the apps in the apps score , because they only work after you allow the softeware to access everything.

IOS Apps work perfectly when you deny some access unlike android APPS.

Black berry only monitors apps and make them useless by denying them if suspicious . unlike iphone .. which works 100% even if you dont allow access to many features for security

You said that the new GPU is a joke but I guess that you don´t have the iPhone 8 to say such things. If you don´t have the new iPhone, please do not comment things like that.

The 8, 8 Plus and X all belong to the 11th generation. So the 4s was the one which really messed it up.

I had a Sony and the cable stopped charging after 3 months. Apple's cables are even more durable. My iPad cable now started to get the isolating torn, so I put a bit of duct tape around it and now it's fine. Not that big of an issue to be worth noting

                          got 1 iphone user with infected phone.

                          as for stability sorry iOS is the worst compared to android.
                          each OS update bring issues with iOS not with android.

                              so its gonna be inferior for FPS in high end games for mobiles compared to A9 and A10 fusion GPU not to mention Adreno 540 can be up to twice faster in the GPU departement.

                              I know you dont know that because lovely tech review website are sold to apple and did not talk about this ;)

                              That do explain why the SOC die is smaller than A10 fusion.

                                      I found something funny about new Apple A11 bionic soc.

                                      its GPU is a joke.
                                      Its some benchmark its slower than the GPU in the Apple A9 or apple A10 fusion soc.
                                      Compared to adreno 540 its even nearly 50% weaker in many test.

                                      So thats how they got those cpu performance.
                                      reduce gpu performance and size on the die so reduce heat from GPU and put all in CPU.

                                      Look good in benchmark but on the long run its will give a bad experience for VR and or gaming and GPU intensive app.

                                      What i find funny is no one speak about this on tech review website lol.
