Why Does the iPhone 8 Exist? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin any other year

and this bone would be called the iPhone

7s it has a new design with a glass back

upgraded cameras faster internals and

even a new feature in wireless charging

and yet all of this is under the shadow

of the upcoming iPhone 10 which really

does beg the question why does the

iPhone 8 exist of course plenty of

companies have a wide variety of phones

to choose from ranging from budget

options all the way to the incredibly

expensive and surprisingly Apple is

actually no exception this year you have

options ranging all the way from the

$350 iPhone se to the 4 and 50 l or

iPhone 6s the $550 iPhone 7 of course

you've got the $700 iPhone 8 as well as

all the way up in the top of the range

the $1000 iPhone 10 the issue is that

Samsung has already been shipping a

truly next-generation feeling piece of

hardware with the galaxy s 8 melia isn't

going to cost you about the same amount

as the iPhone 8 but it's been shipping

for the better part of a year already in

the vacuum the iPhone 8 is a nice design

however when you put it side-by-side

with the galaxy s 8 that iPhone really

doesn't look a lot less like a brand new

2017 flagship and a lot more like a 2014

iPhone 6

Apple has made some small improvements

to the iPhone 8 most notably including

their true tone tech so this is borrowed

from the iPad and it adjusts the white

balance of the display to better suit

the environment that you're in it's a

cool feature of course the iPhone still

has a solid IPS display when you put it

side-by-side with the galaxy s 8 it is

absolutely no contest the AMOLED display

of the SI not only has far better color

brightness and especially contrast but

the infinity display means that not only

doesn't have curved edges but

essentially no bezel on top and bottom

of the phone either this is pretty much

the approach that Apple is taking with

the iPhone 10 and I would actually argue

that they're taking it even farther

so yes you do have to deal with the

knotch but in exchange the rest of the

phone is pretty much entirely screen

there's essentially no puzzles in sight

the only issue is is that the iPhone 10

costs a whopping $300 more than both the

s8 as well as the iPhone 8 it's not all

bad though the iPhone 8 shares a lot of

specs with the 10 including very very

similar cameras so paired with better

processing and new sensors this is

actually a surprisingly big leap over

the previous generation of iPhones

it brings out a lot closer to stuff like

the galaxy s 8 as well as the pixel

especially when you consider just how

much detail you're able to get in a

single

ha you want to be in a video this is

like actually perfect this is the iPhone

8 this is the iPhone a right now what

are you guys names I'm Davey

nice to meet you I guess there's a

little occasion going on today or

something congratulations

cut take some pictures with this yeah

all right let's do it let's do it all

right ready and that looks really good

all right let me try some portrait mode

here that's pretty nice right it messed

up a little bit with the with the veil

but that's not that's pretty nice video

on the 8th is really impressive it's

second to only maybe the LGV 30 so the

stabilization works really well

especially when you're handheld and you

do have some new 4k shooting modes

including 4k 24 which I'm actually a big

fan of but you also can't shoot at a

pretty impressive 4k 60 frames per

second we're also getting upgraded 240

frames per second mode at a full 1080p

so the last iPhone could do 240 but it

was at 720p and honestly it was pretty

grainy with your iPhone 8 you're getting

surprisingly usable footage

especially when you slow it down by 10

times some of the results can actually

look surprisingly good you're also

getting the Apple a lovin Bionic chip

now I'll spare you all the technical

details but both the iPhone 8 as well as

the iPhone 10 which share the same spec

are very very fast put the iPhone 8

side-by-side with not only the 7 but

also the galaxy s 8 as well as the note

8 and you'll see the iPhone 8 is

hands-down these fastest phone out right

now and Geekbench it's a similar story

on the graphics side with GFX bench

although here it's less of a runaway

victory but the iPhone still does went

out

it's impressive enough that I slightly

lost my mind and compared it to the

PlayStation 4 and you guys can check

that video out if you want to see how

they stack up but suffice it to say the

iPhone is very very fast it's not

perfect though well the glass back

doesn't get as warm under extended

gaming like the iPhone 7 did when you

compared side by side with the galaxy s

8 as well as the node 8 you will see the

iPhone 8 does exhibit some thermal

throttling and actual use though the

iPhone 8 is incredibly snappy and that

should be shared with the iPhone 10 that

is a surprisingly common thread between

the eight and the 10 Meli do they both

support wireless charging but they also

have fast charging via a USB C lightning

cable which my friend Danny one jet test

and it actually stacks up fairly well

compared to a lot of other Android

flagships you're also getting the same

ip67 water resistance on both the 8 as

well as the 10 now I don't have a tenon

to test just yet but I can't say the

iPhone 8 speakers sound phenomenal it's

the same basic stereo designed from the

iPhone 7 it's much louder much richer it

really does put not only other Android

phones to shame but it's really the

first phone in years that's come close

to matching HTC's boomsound so yes the

iPhone 8 does give up the bezel as OLED

display from the 10 but in return the 10

gives up touch ID now face ID is

interesting and there's no doubt that

Apple is put a ton of really interesting

technology into it but it is the only

option short of using a passcode there

are tons of situations where I'd rather

pull my phone out and use touch ID on

the iPhone 8 versus hold the 10 in front

of my face and hope that it actually

unlocks in if it's a perfect setup I

would still prefer to have the option of

using touch ID at first glance the

iPhone 8 seems like a weird choice at a

20-17 world of super thin bezels but

look past the screen and everything else

is there to me the iPhone 10 is looking

like a classic first generation Apple

product it's a beautiful design and

there's a ton of potential but it's also

really expensive and if the supply

rumors are true it is going to be quite

a while before it's easy to actually get

your hands on one I can understand why

someone might want to pick up an iPhone

8 today it might not even be crazy to

skip the 10 altogether and wait for the

next generation which hopefully brings

the same design but with the lower price

and hopefully stuff like touch ID will

be re adding but what do you guys think

should the iPhone 8 exist of 2017 let me

know in the comments below and I will

catch you on the next one
