Sticking to apple for now

published

Seriously considered leaving Apple behind. This is the last chance. My biggest issue is with the amount of GB on the phone and iCloud storage I don’t think I should have to pay for storage. But otherwise, standard iPhone. No issues with it yet..

Purchased in September 2021 at Apple Store Australia.

This iPhone is a beast and performs as well as most laptops. The visual experience is fish with no lag. Typing is easy with great feedback. Despite being a phone the sound quality is excellent



As always with Apple products the build quality is outstanding

I love my iPhone

published

I have been team iPhone for years now . They are by far the best brand and easiest to use. I use my phone for EVERYTHING and this phone means I don’t need to use a computer. The apps are easy and clear and make my life easier by far.

Met expectations

published

Does what you’d expect of an iPhone. Lot of features, more than I or most people would use, but I’m invested in the Apple platform now, so stuck with it. It’s good, but I’d say a bit over priced.

Good phone

Reliable good phone. Camera is okay but have been a little disappointed with some pictures as using the phone now instead of a camera. Screen is bright and clear and works well with apps.

Great phone love it

published

IIve had my iPhone 8 for a year and a half now and I love it it is a great phone and a great size. I find the operation of the phone to run smoothly and easy to use I love the home button as it makes it easier for me to navigate the phone.
The camera on the phone is great I think it takes beautiful photos even in low light conditions.
I use my phone as my phone to call and text, to use the Internet, to do work documents and to take photos.
I love that my phone is still small enough to fit in my pocket and fits comfortably in my hand. It charges quickly and mostly has a long lasting battery.
I also use my phone as a baby monitor as its linked to my babies camera and heartbeat monitor

Its okay not the best

published

Im satisfied with the camera quality but Ive noticed over time it gets worse, Ive had my iPhone 8 for two years and now its really slow and the battery life is pretty bad I find myself having to charge it 3 or more times a day I recently updated my phone and its running really badly, when I first purchased it brand new it worked really well but now its not as good.

Apple has deliverately configured the iPhone 8 to hinder the use of wired earphones. Calls are blocked.

published

iPhone 8 deliberately configured to hinder the use of wired earphones. Connect them thru the lightning port and everything will sound ok except phone calls or Voicemails; the earphones go dead and the sound comes out of the phone as if no earphones were connected. Awful trick.

My Best Phone

I have used the iPhone 8 for the past 2years and have had no problems at all.
The display is crisp and clear, settings are easy to use and adjust and photos are true to colour. Apps work well and internet is quick and easy.
I have no intention of replacing it any time soon

Has its glitches but does the job

published

Great camera, easy to use, a bit fragile but ok if you use a screen protector... get the big screen if you use it for things other then making calls.

It is pretty good

published

The iPhone 8 camera quality can be improved. It is normally hard to take picture at night time or without lighting. The brightness of display is pretty standard. I normally use my mobile phone to play games and call and text. The apps can be a little difficult to run with the new iOS but it is still pretty good.
