The iPhone 8 has become heavier and slicker - thanks Apple for making it easier to familiarize your gadgets with asphalt every year. But in general, this device is not nearly as bad as many bloggers say. And from the point of view of the user, it does not have a single significant drawback.
Small cons of the iPhone 8
- Let's start with the fact that Apple smartphones have finally acquired wireless chargers. On the one hand, Samsung has had this for a long time, but on the other hand, many companies focus on Apple in the first place, so there will be many more wireless charging stations in the cafe. Mainly, it was induction charging that led to a change in the design of the case. Now the back of the iPhone 8 is not aluminum, but reinforced glass, which, along with the front, is very scratched, and also increases the mass of the case. Now the iPhone weighs 148 g instead of 138 g.
- Also, a parameter such as the silent mode switch began to work a little worse. It is very delicate and due to the rounded body of the iPhone it is easy to switch to silent mode, so keep track of this moment.
- The design of the "apples" has not been very progressing lately and changes in one direction or the other: from metal to glass, from rounded to rectangular, and vice versa.
Review: the pros of the iPhone 8
So, externally, the design of the iPhone 8 looks like a 7, with the exception of three new body colors: Space Gray, Silver and Gold. The colors "Onyx Black" and "Rose Gold" were removed. According to the impressions from the presentation of Apple, the iPhone 8 is a kind of update to the iPhone 7, which is not much different from it. It seems that all the main innovations went to the anniversary iPhone X, and the eight is a budget alternative option for buying a newer flagship model.
- The phone has become only a few tenths of a millimeter larger than its predecessor, and therefore most of the simple seventh generation cases can be put on it without problems.
- No one took the protection from moisture, and therefore the smartphone can be easily used in the pouring rain. However, you should not dip the phone into the ice hole, as after that it will, of course, continue to work normally, but sweat will appear under the camera.
- Touch ID on the iPhone 8 is much faster than its predecessors. Using this functional ios sensor has become even more enjoyable and convenient. But the main news is that, most likely, with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8+ this feature will end its existence.
- The iPhone has a matrix with a resolution of 1334x750 pixels and a diagonal of 4.7 inches. It has excellent viewing angles and a gorgeous dimming range. Unfortunately, the real minimum in the backlighting is achieved only with the "Decrease the white point", which can be assigned to a triple press of the Home button.
- New for the eight was True Tone, which moved here from the iPad. The display can now adapt its color rendition to local lighting conditions and compensate for its white balance depending on which light source - warm or cold - you are under.
-
A11 Bionic chip, which is responsible for such a function as augmented reality. There is not a single game on this planet that would dare to freeze on this smartphone due to lack of performance. In addition, you need to try hard to keep the device warm.
- The iPhone's 12 MP camera makes your photos even better. Technically, we have one of the best optical image stabilization systems in front of us, which allows you to get good videos shot on the go. Androids do not know how to shoot video with a resolution of 4K and a frequency of 60 frames / s, this is a technological breakthrough from Apple.
