iPhone 8/8 Plus vs iPhone 7/7 Plus - Worth Upgrading? By EverythingApplePro E A P

What's up guys its time for the tough one, I wasn't actually planning on making this video, but I've had too many people ask me: is it worth upgrading from an iPhone, 7 or 7 plus, if you literally just bought it about a year ago, ? the new iPhone, 8 or 8 plus is the price justifiable? Is the upgrade justifiable I mean? What's the difference between these guys, and it's not much I'm going to be honest with you. It is not a significant difference. I mean if you have the money, it's definitely worth of the upgrade, but if some people are just really, really on the edge here like MMM, is it worth it? Is it not in this video I'll help you make that decision, but right off the bat I'm just going to say it's not a very significant upgrade going from these 6s to the 7 was a much bigger update than this, and if you have an iPhone 6s, then yes, it is worth the upgrade to the iPhone 8. But from these seven personally I say you know, but let's get into all that finer prints and see what the actual difference between these guys is. Now like, the iPhone 10 vs iPhone 8, + 8 + comparison I made I'd like to start with the similarities. What's the same, what did have will recycle from the iPhone 7 + 7 + +, sell to you at a markup.

So first off is touch ID. Both of these guys still do have the second-generation touch ID, which is honestly perfectly adequate. There's nothing I would need added to it. It is great you know over the iPhone 10 having that sensor is pretty awesome, but it is still the same speed same fingerprint sensor on the front. The front cameras are still same, specs I'm, not saying it's the same camera it might be different and until they tear down the phone and look inside, we don't know, but currently the specs are the same aperture at 2.2, same 7, 2, megapixel sensor, really on paper. The front camera has not changed.

Also, disappointingly is the ip67 water resistance rating remains. Unfortunately, Apple did not upgrade that they definitely upgraded their marketing, though they were like. Oh, it's precision-engineered to the micron to be water-resistant, yet it still falls behind the competition which is already all at ip68 right now. So unfortunately, that's the same as well, and the RAM spec remains the same as well: 3 gigabytes for the 7 plus and 3 for the 8 plus same for the iPhone 7 & 8. It remains at 2 gigabytes.

Now this is supposed, so it was found leaked in the GM code, but I do trust that information. Also, it's unknown if it's a different type of RAM, but the actual spec remains the same. The battery life hasn't changed either it has remained exactly the same on specs, so you're, not getting any more additional hours for video talk, audio playback! Nothing like that. Although you don't discount the new battery face you're getting a battery with zero cycles on it, yours may have degraded in the time you've owned it for a year. So technically the battery life might be getting better, but against a brand-new iPhone, 7 or 7, plus the eight mine, a plus, did not improve, and it's not to say that the battery might not have gotten smaller or bigger, because we don't know that until they actually tear the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus apart and look inside, we don't know that it's just the actual speck remains the same.

Still no headphone jack anywhere to be found. So if you're hoping that Apple would realize the mistakes of their ways and add one back, they didn't have the adapter still comes in the box and the displays will be identical aside from one feature and that's true tone I'll get into that just a second physically, it's unknown again, if they have changed, but most likely has all of these specs remain on paper exactly the same now, what's the difference? There's actually quite a bit: it's not very significant, but there is a lot of stuff. So the glass design I mean you pick this thing up. It's going to feel different right away. The back isn't as smooth as it is with glass.

You know your fingers are gonna, be getting stuck on here. Going to get a lot more fingerprints on it versus the matte aluminum, shell of the iPhone 7 and 7 plus, and that's a good manufacturer, that's hard to put a price on. If you don't really care, if you're going to use a case, then that's nothing but having to always wipe off fingerprints of your phone kind of sucks. The glass does have a 50% deeper, strengthening layer according to Apple, and it is the toughest smartphone glass on a phone right now. If you had issues with breaking dropping your display, this thing is supposed to take care of that, and we'll definitely have to see how that does in a drop test.

No word on scratches, though, how scratch resistant it is, is just against drops and stress like that, and, of course, because of the new glass design, you're going to get wireless charging supports via the QI standard. That means a variety of charging pads that you can pick up on. Amazon anywhere really will work with the iPhone and that's awesome. A lot of people did think that this technology would be proprietary if Apple were to release it. So it's definitely good that they made that that open- and this is both a positive and a negative.

You get fast charging on the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus, but you have to buy an expensive adapter a charging block just to make that happen out of the box. You won't be able to so just to get fast. Charging I'd have to spend at least $50 right away on one of apples on adapters, I'm sure in the future. There will be third-party ones, but don't really count that in as a feature you have to pay extra for it. So that's an extra $50 just to enjoy that feature and as far as colors go you will get that new gold color.

It looks fantastic I have to say that's one of my favorite. If I were to get the A+, that's the color I would go for. You do get a silver and Space Gray as well, but you do lose several colors in the process: black jet black and rose gold as well as product red, but even these 7 and 7 plus don't have that anymore. It has been discontinued if your weights or the thickness of your phone has ever bothered you. The iPhone, 8 and 8 plus will be getting both thicker and heavier.

Both will be getting point two millimeters, thicker and I know that's laughable. It's not really much of a change, but the weight is getting a significant boost for the iPhone eight 10 grams and for the iPhone 8 plus 14 grams over the 7 plus significance, probably due to the glass and probably want to be most important to me, is the loudspeaker honestly, sometimes you're, just watching some YouTube videos, some video content on your phone and the speakers aren't loud enough on the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus they will be getting 25% louder with a little better base uniformity. So I'm excited to try that out in real life, but speakers if they're important to you, you know that's one big aspect for me of the iPhone 8 and 8 plus. Although most people just use headphones, you don't like normal people, and you get a true tone display on the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus. So that means like night shift, but a little more natural.

It actually uses sensors to make the display changing both intensity and color temperature based on your ambience and your environment, and it's its a nice thing to have, although not all too different from night shift and the rear cameras. So the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus do share the exact same megapixel count and aperture counts as the iPhone 7 and 7 plus. So where are the changes? Apple says. The pixel sizes themselves for the sensors are larger and get a little more quality, and through that also the video capabilities because of the Apple 11 Bionic engine are going to be improved as well.4K 60 frames per second and 1080p at 240 frames per second slow motion. So definitely nothing to laugh at.

If you are a video biographers, you like to get that perfect quality out of your phone you are definitely able to do more that with the iPhone eight and eight plus I honestly haven't filmed on my iPhone in a while, but even from the seven and seven plus it was quite incredible the kind of quality you could get if you actually used a gimbals and tried to get some quality out of it. But this one I'm sure will be even better, and I'm excited to try that out on the iPhone, eight plus the portrait mode, the standard portrait mode will be getting an improvement. So you'll get a little more both out of that to better quality, better clarity, and you'll be getting a new mode called the portrait lighting mode which you can adjust the lighting as if you were in a studio, really cool if you've seen the demo of it. Now. This is the biggest change between the iPhone eight series and the seven series, and that would be the CPU and GPU performance, even though they didn't have to upgrade this.

It shares it with the iPhone 10, which is several hundred dollars more expensive. Now the iPhone, 7 and 7 plus were extremely fast. You know beating out all Android competitors with its speed in the real world test, and they didn't need to upgrade it. Yet they did. They made a 25% faster for the faster cores in the CPU and 70% faster for the lower end ones.

To handle the background tasks, you know stuff to keep the energy drop below now. The GPU is the first one in-house from Apple 30% faster than the existing one in the a-10 and all around the Geek bench scores. Oh, my goodness have mercy on all the Android phones that this thing is gonna, be crushing you get a ten thousand-plus multi-core score and over 4,000 single core scores. That is just ridiculous, truly ridiculous. So the performance is a huge step up, even though personally I have never needed so much speed on my iPhone, 7 and 7 plus I haven't done tasks that it required it, or you got bottlenecks ever the iPhone, 7 and 7 plus were plenty fast for me.

But if you ever reach the limit of your phone, the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus will certainly extend that limit and Bluetooth. Most people don't think about the Bluetooth standard in their phones, but the iPhone 8 and a plus has the new Bluetooth 5.0 support over 4.2 on this one. Now, what can you do with it right now? Not much. Maybe a few months down the road half a year down the road. There will be more products that support the standard, but say those products existed right now.

What could you do with Bluetooth 5.0 that you can't with 4.2 you get a longer range. Imagine leaving your phone while you're playing basketball at the gym on the floor. Personally, that's what I do. Sometimes you range you can get more range. You can transmit more data over that range, and it's more energy efficient.

So right now there are no products that take advantage of this, but in the future it could be a game-changer for the iPhone, even Apple's new ear pods, don't take advantage of Bluetooth 5.0 they're still on four point. Two currently and pricing I'm gonna, do a little throwback here to give you a perspective, but the iPhone 8 plus is $30 more expensive than when the iPhone 7 plus launched last year and same thing for the iPhone 8, but with a bigger difference, it's 50 dollars more expensive than the iPhone 7 when it originally launched, so you're paying a premium now as well. But of course, inflation between that year accounts for a few dollars in between what are you paying for? It really doesn't seem to me, like the price is justifiable over last year's model. That thing had so many upgrades over the 6s compared to this year, but still wireless charging is nothing laughs at 4k, 60 frames per second, the improved slow-motion better speakers. The true tone display there's a considerable amount of stuff, better durability.

You know, but is it worth it to you? That's a question. Do those things matter to you to me not really not in this model, anyways I personally rather spent a couple of hundred dollars extra and go all the way than this step in between the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 10. Alright guys there it is my comparison between the iPhone, 7 and iPhone 8 series I'm actually very curious. Do you guys think that the upgrade is worth it? If you currently have one of these devices? Are you going to do it? Leave me a comment down below in the description, because online generally, the consensus is that no, it's not a very big upgrade or a significant one at all, it's more of an S upgrade than an eight or seven to eight upgrade. So let me know down below in the description very curious to hear that from you guys, anyways, thanks for watching guys hope, I made that decision a little easier.

Peace.
