Sad...still no headphone jack

published

I don't like android's system so I have been using Apple products since the start. However it is just so inconvenient when there is no headphone jack. The phone is basically no different to the Iphone 6 or 7, just some slight upgrades and announced as a new product for Apple to grab more money. Touch ID fails very often too and its getting annoying. Battery dies quick when I barely use it and its a new phone. Apple please, improve your product instead of being so money hungry.

Good speed and working.

published

I purchased iphone 8 last march. The overall working is good and its faster than the previous version of iphone. Which is iphone 7. It clould be more good if they give some customisation in visuals and theme changing customisation for better user interaction. Overall i like the working. Thanks

I upgraded from an iPhone 5 to the 8, it functions work so much better the camera is fabulous and the larger screen is a huge improvement for me . I like the navigation control it is so much better than the mechanical one .

Does what it needs to do. Most of the time.

published

As an apple enthusiast, I’m really disappointed. The phone itself is great but honestly, there’s nothing new or special about it. The glass back is beautiful... that was until I dropped the phone. The phone lags from time to time as well. Overall a good phone but if you’re looking for that wow factor, it really isn’t there. Just a normal, reliable iPhone. Ps: the charger still breaks every few months.

It's good

published

It's good, but Apple needs to start making waterproof, not water-resistant, phones. Excellent camera quality as I can use it to photograph my folio work. Siri still isn't amazing, the Google Home speaker is much more accurate and responsive. However battery life is good and can last the day. perfect size to fit in pockets

Very solid and reliable phone so far

published

Great phone in my opinion, coming from a past Samsung user I can say the iPhone runs far better than the android competitors. Great display, great sound and it is pleasant to use and simple. So far I haven’t had any bugs or issues, the battery also last me all Dayan a full charge.

This is perfect! Magnificent Camera! Best iPhone Since

published

This IPhone is the best they have released. The camera is magnificent!!! The Rose colour phone is gorgeous and the glass look of the phone is quite pleasing! The phone charge unlike others has not yet diminished. It’s water resistance is almost incredible, it’s been dropped in the sink a few times and its still fine.

Great phone, easy to use but terrible battery

published

Love this phone in every way except for the terrible battery life. I have to recharge the phone at least 3 times a day. Otherwise, it never skips a beat; has great features and seems tougher than my previous iPhone 6s. I’ve also noticed that it takes longer to charge than my previous 6s which is odd seeing as it’s a newer phone!

Awesome!

published

I have always been an iPhone user and the jump from the 6 to the 8 is awesome! I love having so much space available and not always having to delete photos to take a new one. The quality of the photos is pretty insane and I really enjoy the live photo effect! I do wish the 8 came standard with a wireless charger, I’m keen to try that feature out!

Like the phone, miss the earphone port

published

Previously had an iphone 6s, and prior to that the 5s, 4s, 4, and 3gs. I like the security of the devices, although my like of the iphone is starting to drop with devices not appearing to have the longevity of the samsung devices i have had previously.

And i really miss the port for the ear phones. I dont want to have an adapter, but use it anyway.

Very happy

published

Come from an iPhone 5 so expected good things. The phones are pretty much still the same but the 8's performance is so much faster, everything runs smoother, sharper pictures and video - everything's just better...a lot better. If you're new to Apple, i would definitely recommend getting the 8.

Simply Brilliant

published

Having had my phone from late last year it just performs spectacularly as you would expect from an Apple product.
Having started with Apple many years ago with their first iPhone model, the technology has just become faster and simply booting up the iPhone 8 is now lightning fast.
The Qi charging feature is very handy and is used nightly.
I have no complaints at all with this model.
Impressed with Apple and their eye for high standards and craftmanship!

Been using apple for too long.

published

I've had my Iphone 8 for only 2 months. Of course it's great for its many functions however the battery is already damaged, the touch screen is not working properly and the phone itself has slowed down a lot even though it's a 256GB. But apart from that it's great and I don't think I would go for something else, ever!

expect better from apple..

published

i’ve had the phone since late december, every worked fine for the first 2/3months. then my phone became really laggy, the speaker for calls doesn’t work and i can’t hear anything when i’m on the phone without it being on loudspeaker! and apple is always fully booked out. it’s also $400+ to get the back screen fixed if you smash it!!!

You get what you pay for.

published

Best phone on the market in my opinion. You’re either an Apple guy or you aren’t, and I am. Apple made the phone that changed the way we use phones. Androids have some advantages, but overall I think the iPhone is smoother and more intuitive that any android phone I’ve used.

Good phone but expensive

published

I have had iPhones since the release of the 3G model and my latest purchase if the 8 has been like previous versions a good experience. I do however think this may be my last. The cost of the product compared to its competitors and also the lack of functionality with third party providers means I may be heading elsewhere. It’s not you Apple its me

Why does the backglass break so easily? I'm now expected to pay $500 for a replacement phone while still paying off this crappy broken phone.
