2 Weeks With iPhone 8! By iJustine

- How many days has it been since September 23rd, 2017? - It's zero seconds until then. - How many days ago was September 23rd, 2017? - It was 13 days ago. - 13 days, okay, that's a more accurate number. So technically it's now been almost two weeks since I got my iPhone 8. It's funny because in the comments, you guys always say, I bet Justine's gonna make a two days with iPhone video or a three days with iPhone video, 15 minutes with iPhone video or whatever new product it happens to be. You can substitute the iPhone for whatever that product is.

Now, I didn't do a one week with iPhone 8 because I posted pretty much eight days straight of iPhone videos, I think. A lot of you guys have been looking for an updated video on what do I think, how am I liking it, am I having any issues. So here we are, we are at two weeks in with the iPhone 8, and I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely love this phone. While there isn't a noticeable difference just by holding it, just by looking at it from either side, if you are a very perceptive person and you can tell that this is a gold phone, then yes, you're going to be able to tell. Of course, I have a case on it.

If I didn't have a case on it, this is what it looks like, just in case you haven't seen it yet. And if you haven't seen it yet, does that mean that I haven't been making enough iPhone videos? Now the number one thing that I like is this phone is much, much faster, especially running iOS 11. Now I'm not the only one that has been experiencing a lot of issues with iOS 11. My phone has been crashing a lot. You guys have told me this.

I've been getting tweets. A lot of my friends have been having issues. And really, when it comes down to it, I don't feel like iOS 11 was 100% ready to be released to the public. It still feels like it's in beta, but there are still some issues that I feel like they're working out. So hopefully those all get resolved very, very quickly because it definitely is annoying when I'm doing something, especially doing screen recording.

There's been a few times where I've been halfway through filming a video and I have it all synced up, so I'm talking to my camera, I'm screen recording my screen, and then my phone just restarts. And that means that the screen capture that I was recording also stopped recording and did not save. I have been using iOS 11 since beta five, which has been a pretty long time at this point, so I've definitely seen iOS 11 at its worst. But going back to how fast this phone is, being able to take photos, being able to switch through all the portrait lighting effects, editing, exporting videos, it's significantly faster than the 7. And I would say if you're an average phone user, you might not really notice that huge of a difference if you're coming from the 7 to the 8, but for somebody who does basically everything, like runs their entire life and business off of this phone, it's made a huge difference.

I love all of the new video quality options, being able to shoot at 4K, 60 frames a second, at 240, at 1080, it's pretty great. Even though my default is 4K, 30, that's what I usually post most of my videos in, it is so great to be able to have that slow-mo option. Oh, I'm into it. - Oh yeah, you gotta get it. You gotta get it.

- I'll get this one. Whoa, so sorry. Is this in focus? One thing that I do wish was a little bit easier is it takes a while to get into the settings to change the quality, like you have to go into the system settings and then you have to go into the camera settings and then you have to go through and scroll through and figure out which one you want to pick. I just feel like it should be something that is easily integrated into the camera app. You shouldn't have to leave the camera app to change those settings.

I just don't understand why there's not like an option that I can't just like click and swipe or something and it will automatically change here. I just feel like that would be easy and logical. It's just kinda crazy to think that we are weeks away from the pre-order for the iPhone 10 and a lot of people are very confused as to why I got an iPhone 8 and why didn't I just wait for the 10. That's a very crazy question. I'm not sure why you would ask me that.

Would you expect me to skip the 8 and then just to wait for the 10? I can't do that. I have an I in front of my name. Do you expect me to wait over a month for a new iPhone when there's a new iPhone that's already out that I can have in my possession for an entire month, especially a blush gold beautiful iPhone 8? I can't wait. ♪ And it ain't even about that though ♪ - Another one of the big iOS 11 and 8 features is augmented reality and to be completely honest with you, I haven't even downloaded an augmented reality app. I had all intentions too.

I was like, this is so cool, I'm gonna do this all the time. And I never did. Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like I probably should at least download some so I can play with them and test them out. That could be really fun for screen capture. That can actually be a really cool video itself.

If you guys have any augmented reality apps that you would like for me to try out, you can leave those in the comments below and I'll check them out. I made a video the other day talking about the new iOS 11 emojis and I just wanted to go on record and apologize because number one, I didn't know what this was. I'm so sorry. I was like, oh yeah, it's some fitness thing. I thought it was like one of those things you put down and it helps you to do push-ups.

It's from the sport curling. I've obviously heard of curling before, but somehow that was not something that came to mind when I saw that emoji. The next thing that I need to apologize for is this. This is apparently not a porcupine. It's a hedgehog.

You guys started tweeting me pictures of Sonic the Hedgehog and I was just like this, like I was actually the face palm emoji. So I guess to sum up all of my thoughts about the iPhone 8, I really, really like it, and I'm so excited that a lot of you guys have also been loving it. So I had a few friends who decided to get the 8 instead of the 10, and that's mostly because they really still want the touch ID. A lot of them don't believe that the face recognition is actually going to work the way that it's supposed to. Now while I was at the Apple event, I saw a bunch of people using it.

All of the phones on the floor were tied to the person that had it. And I was constantly accidentally locking my phone, so then they had to unlock it and it was very seamless. So if you want to imagine what that looks like, basically you just look at your phone and swipe up. This is my control center, but it's that fast. You look at it and swipe up and you're in your phone.

I'm feeling pretty confident that it's all gonna work out and everything is going to be seamless although I did have that confidence for the Apple Watch and I just finally got it to work on LTE. Granted, the issue I was having was a carrier issue and it wasn't necessarily an Apple issue. So other than tons of portrait photos and slow-mo videos, basically just shooting videos about the iPhone for the past two weeks, that's really pretty much all I've done. Another thing that I've done is of course listen to audiobooks, which brings me to Audible. I'm extremely excited about this Audible integration this month because let me tell you what, I get to share with you what I'm listening to and I just downloaded this.

Let's see if you can recognize this book. It's Joey's new book. If you guys don't know Joey, his channel is Joey Graceffa and this is his third book and it just came out this week and I'm so excited because I just downloaded it on Audible and he's currently on tour. So if you are a Joey Graceffa fan or if you're now a new fan, you can check out his book on Audible, you can use my link, Audible. com/iJustine, you can get a 30-day free trial and a free book.

So you guys know that I'm a huge Audible fan and I feel like for me, I drive around LA a lot and I am constantly stuck in traffic. So instead of sitting in traffic and just listening to top 100 songs like always, audiobooks for me make me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something while I'm stuck in traffic. I always appreciate when you guys send me recommendations because outside of the things that I choose to listen to, which is mostly my friends' books, I get most of my recommendations from you guys. Audible is also celebrating their 20th anniversary, which is kind of crazy because I remember when Audible first came out. I mean, 20 years ago, I was three.

So happy 20th anniversary to Audible and thank you so much for supporting the YouTube community. We love you and I love you. Thank you for passing time with me in traffic. So to celebrate their 20th anniversary, they are turning the microphone over to you guys. Check out Audible.

com/Audible20. They are giving away 20 Volvos to you guys and all you have to do is tell Audible why you love them. So I wish you guys the best of luck, and that would be absolutely incredible if one of you guys won from signing up. You would definitely have to drive it to California, pick me up, take me out to pizza, take me to get some coffee, and then we'll probably go, I don't know, shopping because why not. Anyways, don't forget to check out Audible.

com/iJustine for a 30-day free trial and Audible. com/Audible20 to enter their 20th anniversary contest. And if you guys do decide to get Joey's book, make sure you take a screenshot and tweet it to me. I'm so excited to listen to this. I'm gonna be heading out on a trip here very shortly.

Let's see, this is only nine hours and five minutes. That's nothing. That is like a Netflix series. I can probably finish this in two days of traffic, which is so sad to think about. So I guess going back to the iPhone 8, I absolutely love the look of it.

I told you some of my favorite highlights of it, and I am just looking more and more forward to the iPhone 10. How many of you are still calling the iPhone 10 the iPhone X? Because I consciously have to catch myself every single time before I say it, I give myself a slight pause. iPhone 10. ♪ It's mine, mother ♪ - I'm probably gonna miss this home button. I am looking forward to the portrait mode front facing camera.

Oh, I didn't even make a video about the Pixel 2. That looks pretty awesome. It's gonna be interesting to see how the Pixel 2 handles portrait mode. I've seen from some of the demos that people have been posting that they look really, really good. Unlike other phones like the iPhone and the Note 8, they all have dual cameras.

The Pixel still only has one. They said that they use machine learning to determine what should be in focus. So I'm really looking forward to seeing how that stands up to the Note and the new iPhone. ♪ X gon' give it to you, he gon' give it you ♪ - Anyway, I will see you guys in my next video. I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little update on my thoughts about the iPhone 8 and I will see you in the next one.

♪ He gon' give it to you ♪ - Bye, have a good weekend. X gon' give it to you, gon' give to you. X gon' give it to you.
