Apple Shares '8 Things to Love About iPhone 8' Video

No Thanks.

iPhone 8/8+ : Out of date design.
iPhone X : Over priced. No touch ID.

iPhone X should have been $699, or $799 at most.

I especially love how it took Apple MORE than 5 years to adopt Qi standard. Just on the forefront of innovation on this one.

just let inventory sit so the price will drop.

they should have just release the X only. created a problem for themselves. Steve Job would not have done it this way. LOL

1. It's in stock.

Apple is really losing it. This just stinks of desperation, I think Timmy is panicking, especially if X production is as bad as rumours say, Timmy could be in a lot of trouble here.

- Most durable glass in a smartphone

It's not like the iPhone 7 is all that fragile and a bit more durable really doesn't mean much.

- Portrait Lighting (the new Portrait Mode feature)

Cheap gimmick and early hands on reports aren't that positive. Also, a simple software feature, there's no reason the can't 7 do this. Apple was just desperate for something to distinguish the 8.

- Wireless charging with Qi inductive chargers

Literally 5 years behind on that one and just adopting someone else's tech late. Hardly something you should brag about.

- The A11, the smartest most powerful chip in a smartphone

Anyone find the 7 slow? I'm sure there's a few people who do, but not many.

- The world's most popular camera

Not yet since you haven't sold as many iPhone 8's as 7's. And just because you sell 80 million iPhones doesn't mean 80 million people love the camera.

- Water resistant

Others beat you to that punch by over a year and didn't have to take away the headphone jack to do it.

- New Retina HD display with True Tone

Marketing doubletalk. Much cheaper phones have far superior 1440p OLED displays in a smaller form factor than your non-plus model.

- Augmented Reality support

Another software gimmick you're pretending has something to do with the 8 when you're just desperate for a distinguishing feature. And it doesn't do much yet, wake me up when there's a killer app for AR.

One thing I immediately noticed is that it’s still laggy. A brand new iPhone 8 Plus with the fastest chip ever in a mobile device... still lags. My 6S feels snappier and smoother. Really disappointed. I don’t care about Geekbench scores if the software itself makes the phone feel slow. Not only that but I’ve noticed UI glitches that are littered everywhere. iOS 11 is a really poor show from Apple and the fact that they thought it was acceptable to ship it in its current state on their supposed latest and greatest shows how far they’ve fallen. Do they and will they still sell in droves? Yes, but it’s not about that. I don’t care about that stuff as a consumer and it isn’t a sign of quality. It was true with Apple in the past because the quality of the software combined with the hardware backed it up, but not today. The Apple brand itself sells these days because of the real quality reputation that they built up from the past.

Thinking of returning this one. It honestly doesn’t feel worth it at all and I think it’s the first time I’ve felt that about a new iPhone. It’s just a real shame and saddens me as I never even questioned their software design issues and performance issues in the past because there wasn’t any, or very little to complain about at least. Now there’s people heavily complaining about how behind Apple are, how much they’ve fallen in terms of quality, heck, even non tech people say it’s not the same since Steve died. And it really isn’t anymore.
