last Tuesday Apple held its conference Which was watched by tens of millions around the world and in it we saw a lot of new products, the conference lasted for more than 100 minutes, but the surprise is that Apple actually reviewed the advantages of the iPhone 8 in just 13 minutes, which made the main question after the conference. Is iPhone 8 and 8 Plus worth the acquisition? In this article, we answer you an inquiry.



Important clarification

◉ This article is a comparison targeting iPhone 7 and 7 Plus owners to answer their question. If you have a previous device like the 6s / 6, of course you will feel a big difference when you upgrade, and there is no room for doubt that you should upgrade to the iPhone 8 or wait for the iPhone X.

◉ This article is based on technical specifications announced by Apple as well as device testers. But he didn't get to us to test it.

◉ The decision to buy the iPhone is a personal decision, as only you will pay the money. We are here to give you our opinion on the phone but the decision is yours. We do not get a financial return from Apple for the purchase of its devices.

◉ iPhone X is out of scale in this article.

◉ Please read the article carefully and do not rush to comment. In points you may find us recommend buying, and in other points you may find the opposite.


the performance

It is the fastest machine? A question that continued for years, so the iPhone preceded and then Samsung introduced a phone that preceded the iPhone, so Apple responded and the conflict continues. But last year, the iPhone with the A10 processor outperformed everyone, both in the actual test (except for the OnePlus 5 recently) and of course in the point test. But as we have explained here, there is a phone that defeated the iPhone in a performance test, so Apple decided to present an unbeatable processor soon, which is the A11, before we explain, see a picture of the performance test between the iPhone 8 and the Samsung S8 phone.

The iPhone 8 achieved a result of 4188 points compared to 1991 for the Samsung S8 phone ... Of course, some may object that Apple always wins in the performance of the single core, but in the multi-core test, Android excels as it happened last year with the 835 processor in front of the A10. Well see the following picture:

The iPhone is more than twice the speed of the S8 in the single core and 49% faster in the multiple cores. The surprise is that the S9 processor next year will be Snapdragon 845 leaks that stated that it achieves 260 individual performance, in front of 4188 individual Apple processor, meaning that the individual Apple processor is 60% faster than any Android phone will be released within the next 12 months.

But the truth is, you won't feel the difference in performance quickly

Previous figures say the iPhone 8 is supernatural (it even surpasses on some computers), but actually until now all the applications and games are designed for the iPhone 7, so when you buy the device, you will feel that it is better, but not by a big difference. You have to wait several months to see games designed for the A11 processor, and here you will feel the difference in performance.

The performance difference is great, but the average user won't feel it easily


Camera

The second factor after speed is what phone you are Camera. Apple made many developments, so let us divide users into 4 sections:

Normal pictures: If your primary use of the camera is ordinary photos, you like a scene, so you take out the phone and take a photo, you will not feel a clear difference, and you may not feel a difference until at night (if Apple believes its propaganda).

professional pictures: You're someone who gets the camera out and stays for seconds or maybe minutes adjusting the lighting, angle and position to shoot. Here you will notice the difference in the sensors, especially if you bought the Plus version to take advantage of the portrait lighting adjustment mode as well as the Slow Sync feature.

Normal video shooting: You are on an occasion and you take out the phone and click to shoot a video. Do not expect any difference if you buy the iPhone 8. Apple itself did not mention the difference here, except if you are shooting 4K, you only have the option of 60fps (a minute will be approximately half a gigabyte).

Professional video: Almost the same as before, except if you are a fan of slow motion, as you now have 240fps shooting when shooting in FHD. Whereas, the HTC U11's best competitor offers 120fps photography.

If photography is a major factor for you, then consider buying an 8 Plus or X as we explained Previously


Miscellaneous points

◉ The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus screen includes True Tune technology that was exclusive to the iPad. Technology White balance the color according to the lighting around you to make the image more natural.

◉ Both iPhone 8 and 8 Plus work with Bluetooth 5.0, and this Bluetooth provides twice the speed, 4 times the coverage and 8 times the data. But until now there are no applications for it, but we may see exclusive uses for it in the future.

◉ iPhone 8 and Plus support wireless charging and fast charging.

The weight of the iPhone 8 increases by 7 grams, while the weight of the Plus version is 10 grams. The iPhone 14 Plus is the heaviest phone Apple made in its history, and it reaches nearly five kilos - 8 grams - which is two-thirds the weight of the iPad mini.

◉ Apple reduced the battery capacity by 7-8% in the 8 family compared to the 7 family, but it made clear that the performance is stable because the processor consumes less energy.

◉ There are camera enhancements to support virtual reality features.

◉ Apple supported USB 3.0 speed on iPhone 8 and Plus version (unconfirmed).

Apple has supported the European Galileo system, as well as the Chinese BDS positioning system on the iPhone 8.


Comment iPhone Islam

If you are a regular iPhone user, you will not feel much change. Also, the professional user will not feel the change once the phone is released. But after months, games and applications, as well as accessories designed for the iPhone 8, will start appearing, and Apple will be interested, as usual, with updates in iOS that include exclusive features for the iPhone 8. Personally, if I have an iPhone 7 (or Plus), I will not buy 8 until after I watch it first. With a friend and try it out. If I have a phone before 7 like the 6s, the difference is huge and it is really worth the upgrade.

Do you intend to own an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus? Or will you decide to wait for the iPhone X
