No need to upgrade
If you like the simplicity of Apple's operating system. If you like an actual physical home button and 3D Touch. If you want a 'better than decent' camera on your phone, and, importantly, actually like the compact 'fits perfectly into my pocket and it's lightweight' Apple design, then you are just like me. I LOVE my iPhone 8. Wireless charging with the glass back, slim, perfect balance in my hand, excellent screen, that's enough for me, thanks. Got my wife the iPhone XR, Apple's World-Wide No 1 seller because her iPhone 6s 's photos were just not cutting it. I don't like the XR, sure, camera is a bit better and the screen is huge, but it is soooo bulky and heavy and let's not even talk about the high price. Thanks but no thanks.

iPhone 8
It’s great for playing games and watching live streaming. Low light picture are not the best but in good light the pics are great. The size is perfect and all apps run well.

Good phone, plus is better
Excellent phone, best phone with a home button. I do regret not getting the plus as I find this phone a little small especially since my hands aren't small. The plus would have better battery life and camera, but if you think the plus is too large than this is an excellent phone for the size you are looking for

Too breakable !!
It's great for the first 20 days or so until you drop it onto something soft like carpet. This phone should be called an avocado instead of an apple because its overpriced and smashes so easily. And at $500 to fix (because front and back are made of glass ) be careful before dropping over a grand on this porcelain piece of crap.

Good size
The camera is really great on this phone and i enjoy this size over the bigger ones. It fits very well in your hand and it is reliable. The glass back is concerning but there are plenty of cases to use.

Very Nice.
Really cool phone. Lots of great services. The camera feature, the many filters and the memory gallery feature is my favourite. Very cool birthday present. Hoping to get an upgrade this year. Thank you, Apple, Very cool!!! I would recommend better than I-phone X, which lacks in security features. Nice

Just like everyone else, cant live without it.
Camera quality is good, obviously not as good as the ihpone X but i just went overseas and used my phone to take photos and they all came out great. Brightness is perfect, usually i turn it down anyways.
I mainly use my phone for messaging and calls, with limited apps going. I do use alot of news apps and the instagram app and ive never had an issue.

Really like the iPhone 8
Everything runs very smoothly and it’s a reliable phone. I never find myself running out of battery too quickly and I really like the camera quality. However, I smashed the glass on the back and this is unable to be fixed. Why model a phone with a glass backing and then not make it able to be fixed?

Very good clear camera however battery life is horrible and the phone always freezes or lags.
Not always, sometime the phone freezes then the apps close down or I have to re set the whole phone to get it to work again. However works perfects for apps like Spotify or just your everyday folders like camera storage. I prefer my iPhone 6s over the iPhone 8 to be quite honest..
January 7th 2022 Update: I still prefer the 6s.my 8 freezes constantly and sometimes it will get stuck so I can’t use again t
Sometimes, however sometimes they just exit themselves. Facebook is bad for it when using market place. Also have issues when it comes to updating the apps, and installing apps.
If you have more than 2 apps open.
The whole phone runs horrible until you close Them all. Struggle to find signal as well.

Great phone!
Good quality phone and plenty of screen to view all types of things like checking emails to watching a movie with a good quality screen display :)
It runs smoothly and I have not had any trouble with my 8+ and I would recommend this phone to anyone as like all Apple products it’s very user friendly :)
The screen is just a bit smaller than the ten but it’s still a large screen :)

Amazing phone
I'm absolutely in love with my iPhone 8 the camera is amazing the pictures are so clear and you can see every detail in the picture. The battery life isn't too bad either i tend to play a lot of games on my phone so the battery does tend to drain quicker but in saying that the phone does charge quiet quickly

Pretty ok
My iPhone 6 died unexpectedly and I bought this as a replacement. I’m not hugely tech savvy and use my phone for the usual; Facebook, a few apps, texts and calls, etc. I honestly found very little difference between the 6 and 8 in terms of features (other than storage size).
It’s expensive, but I like the menus and simplicity of the iPhone. About 9 months into owning this phone, it’s done a couple of weird things like completely freezing up during video playback and again freezing up when retrieving emails. I had to hard reset it which thankfully fixed it. Hopefully there will be no more glitches like this!

Awesome Phone, Does everything it needs!
The Iphone, Is a perfect item to anyones needs!
The battery life lasts upto 2-3 days after a full charge for atleast a year before wearing out just by a few hours! And even then you are able to change the battery within your 2 year warranty.
The iphone glass screeen may be an issue although easily fixed via a glass screen protector. I highly suggest purchasing one of them.
Very user friendly and optimal for any age!

The best phone
Love my iPhone 8, I brought it in rose gold which is so pretty. I have had my phone for about 9 months and have not had any problems with it. The updates are amazing and cause no issues, the phone gets more features with every update. You need a glass protector as the screen will easily break if dropped.

Really good.
The iPhone 8 is very good. The camera is really good, it's easy to use and navigate, the durability is really good considering that the whole phone is glass and can easily shatter. I'm very satisfied with the brightness of the display. Apps such as social media platforms run smoothly. Overall, really satisfied with my phone.
