Now that we have seen the specifications of the Iphone 8, let’s discuss if it is worth buying or not. So here’s all you need to know before making your next purchase decision:
The best thing about this phone is its wireless charging. Instead of plugging a wire, you just have to place the phone on a pad and it will automatically charge – no fuss!
Consumers who want an iPhone with a larger screen may want to wait for the later release of the Iphone 8 plus as IPhone 8 comes with a 5.5 inch 4K display which is very close to its predecessors.
As mentioned earlier, IPhone 8 does not support memory cards, hence storage space becomes a major issue if you are someone who loves taking pictures or recording videos all day long.
Although Apple made efforts to upgrade batteries in iPhones before, they usually end up making them worse. Therefore users tend to take out their batteries and replace them with bigger ones.
If you are someone who is very security conscious, then IPhone 8 may not be the right choice for you. Since this phone has an easily accessible Face ID, others can easily get access to your phone .
Consumers should wait till next year if they want a better version of IPhone 8 Plus as it is expected that the company will introduce iPhone X in 2018 which would come with 5.8 inch edge-to-edge OLED display featuring glass back panel – similar to I Phone 8 but better. It also comes with wireless charging feature which was not included in I Phone 8 series. Even though it is a lot more expensive than other iPhones but it will totally be worth your money as everything about this phone is going to be premium quality!
In conclusion, IPhone 8 may have some flaws but it still deserves a chance. It has significantly improved wireless charging and water resistance features which were missing from its predecessors . If you can look past the slow speed of wireless charging then, I believe that iPhone 8 will be an amazing phone for you. So feel free to go for this device without second thoughts as now it won’t take much time to charge your phone and make sure that 100% battery remains all day long!
