    Great phone with practicality

    People who need a bigger sized phone would love this phone. It does everything that an iPhone X does with a different front camera and screen to be precise. I have used the iPhone X and the iPhone 7 Plus and I really like this phone better than the two. The camera and portrait modes are phenomenal and the screen with true tone display works brilliantly. The battery life is really a boon and can go for a full day without ever having to plug it in. The only downside would be the weight of the phone. The glass makes is super heavy but its adjustable. The phone is a great alternative and has the pracitcality of the home button that is missing on the iPhone X.

    My previous phone was the 6s and for me the change to the 8+ was worth it. I decided on a bigger screen because of age and still getting used to the size but the phone has worked great. Immediately noticed better phone reception and WiFi connectivity. It works on places the 6s did not and the battery has been outstanding, I find myself charging once a day only. It does take a bit to get used to no regular headphones jack but the phone came with an adapter which can also be bought for $9 for regular headphones use. I intend to buy a couple and keep them in the car and gym bag. The camera is noticeably better and with many options, and although, I use it mostly for quick shots since I prefer real pictures with my cannon or GoPro, i think it will drive me to use it more. The phone does feel warmer than the 6s when in use which is scary with all the talks about batteries bursting but so far it has only been the warmer feel. The screen resolution is also great with two settings (normal and true tone) but feel the true tone makes it yellowish and I stayed away from it. The new side keyboard feature works great specially when walking the Dogs (Wrigley and Leo) since I can use only a hand to type texts. Car Connect seems to also have gotten faster at connecting with the phone although it may be a feature of the new software.

    While this iPhone may not make much sense for most people to upgrade to, I thought that it was a suitable upgrade from the 6S Plus. It is blazing fast and has an amazing battery life, with the added benefits of new cameras and wireless charging! I personally greatly enjoy this product and would definitely recommend it to those who are looking to upgrade!

    Made the move from the 6S to the 8Plus and very happy with this decision. Love the bigger, clearer screen and still fits in my pockets and purses nicely. Love the wireless charging feature. Better pictures, better sound and great for streaming. Fast! Love it and will keep this one for awhile.

    I was rocking an iPhone 5 (16gb) for the last 4.9 years and was long overdo for a new iPhone. I'm a huge photography nut and I have over 85+ gb of music let alone all of the pics and videos that I take. On top of that I like to run quite a few apps and sometimes at the same time. Take this all in with a much bigger screen and a faster chip set/ processor and this iPhone 8+ 256 is a beast! It has changed my music, hobbies, work functionality, and I'm still just getting started. Waiting so long to upgrade was a mistake. All I did was put myself behind personally and professionally. This phone is a BEAST! I LOVE IT!

    The Good Fantastic dual-lens camera shoots better than ever with improved portrait mode. Adds wireless charging. Lightning-fast speed. Starts at 64GB. Best battery life in current iPhone line. The Bad Dated design. Lacks some of the extra iPhone X camera features. Large body makes it hard to hold. The Bottom Line The iPhone 8 Plus is a great phone with a spectacular camera that offers a lot of what iPhone X has under the hood, but in a lot less exciting body.

    Amazing features on the camera! I wish there was a guide of how to get the most out of your phone when you switch to a new one! I had some problems setting it up, the light is like a beacon for boats while sweating it up and the process took over a half hour and I switched fro and iPhone 6s w only 16 gbs so there wasn’t much to do. It has updated 3xs already and I’m learning as I go but a tutorial would be great to come w the phone. I am sad that you don’t provide the charging split to charge and have head phones if need be but I guess everything cost money. The water proof feature is nice but I am scared to try it even w a life proof case on. I do have problem w getting reception and late texts messages I am told they sent it previous. And I can be sitting in the same place and have two bars and a minute later I look up and there are four bars and I have Verizon which is prominent in our area... told there isn’t a resolution that just happens sometimes. I hate that they took away the keyboard feature to double click caps lock to keep capital letters going! The lighting is crazy on this I’m sure if a zombie apocalypse happens I can keep them away! Camera is great processing seems slow at times but told that must be cell service so I’m confused which it really is. I love my iPhone either way and wouldn’t ever go back to android. I have a ton of storage now too! With a case it’s hard to hear and sometimes they can’t hear me too but being told that’s the case... maybe we need more volume or a setting that you have a case on it.... hmmm only other thing is the pricing for these is sooooo expensive by now you must have constantly reused some designed parts that shouldn’t cost so much to roll out new ones! I’m glad I won a certificate at Best Buy to pay for most of it! Otherwise I never buy new wait a year and it $3-400 cheaper.

    Best iPhone Plus model yet

    I actually upgraded to the 8 Plus after saying I was keeping my 7 Plus. However it is a great upgrade even from the 7 Plus. Wireless charging, tru tone display and AWESOME battery life. It’s well worth the upgrade. It’s also much faster. If you have anything before a 7 you definitely wouldn’t be disappointed. I did try the X but did not like the size so I stuck with the Plus models. Best Buy gave me $400 for my 7 Plus in store credit that I put towards my 8 Plus. I cut my monthly payment down to $19. I’m on Verizon and I love it. Happy with my 8 Plus for a couple years.

    Last November I made the switch. Ever since modern smartphones began around 2007-2008, I'd been an Android fan. I had the original Droid from Motorola, then a couple of follow up Motorola models...I then bought an HTC 8 which I loved, a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge which I loved, with some caveats, then after ten years of Android, I made the switch to iPhone! What made me change? I bought my wife her first smartphone recently; an iPhone 6s. Setting it up for her I immediately noticed the jewel like quality of the device; the hardware. Playing with the phone I also noticed the flawless and seamless operation of the iOS. I was mesmerized. THIS was a great phone. Even though I had a few months left until 2 years was up on my Galaxy S7 edge, I went into Verizon's store and made the switch. It's been almost ten months and the novelty of the iPhone still hasn't worn off. It's simply the best phone I've ever owned. I chose the iPhone 8 4.7 inch screen for it's size. The camera is fabulous and the operating system is so smooth. I own an iPad so it wasn't a total surprise but there are no more Android jutters and flaws. I didn't get the iPhone X because I love the perfection of Apple's fingerprint sensor. I love the home button and to my eye there wasn't a huge difference in display quality, since Apple knows how to make a GREAT LCD screen. I used to like all of the customization available on Android but Apple now has Google Calendar (which I love) and third party swype-type keyboards, which are a must for me. Apple lets the user customize much more than previously. I love getting my iTunes music library on my phone now too. I guess I'm an iPhone fanboy for life now. This iPhone 8 is the very last iPhone of this perfect size and a home button. Rumor has it Apple is working on an under-screen fingerprint sensor for it's 2019 iPhones and I may upgrade to the iPhone 12 then but for now, the iPhone 8 with it's wireless charging, good battery life, smooth operation, great camera and super high quality construction is my best phone ever! You cannot go wrong with this

    I've had this phone now for a couple of months and now feel comfortable reviewing this. I previously came from an iphone 6, not the plus, so this was a bit of an upgrade for me. I love the size first of all... it really does make viewing anything in it quite a pleasure and I see more information per page now versus the standard iphone size. Compared to the iphone 10... I believe the features to mostly (95%) be the same. Sure there is no button anymore but I believe that I am able to open my phone faster than the X simply due to the fingerprint sensor. In comparison, the X does look great as the absence of the button does make it look more minimal and "technologically advanced". I guess if you really wanted the better resolution but not the size of the phone as I have heard many people say that they can't get the plus due to its sheer size, then get the X. Still, I could not justify the extra $200 for the X... nor the wait at the time. I'd like to think that these days most of these phones are comparable. The things I mostly value in a cell phone in this day and age include the following: battery life, charging time, texting, and email. I'd say most cell phones are capable of high ratings in those departments. Because for me the plus provided the largest battery life, I got it and have been extremely satisfied with it. Other than a couple other things, which are due to software updates and such, I believe this phone to perfectly fulfill my needs.

    Best Phone I ever had from android user for 8 yrs.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When I first got this phone I had to get use with all the navigating from an android user for 8yrs. I would only hade one or two problem with it compare to android that freezes on me every hour of using it, my apps would crash, at a point where I get annoyed using my android phone. So, I tried to switch to apple and see whats up. I would say Im glad I did try this. I love the camera, the selfie camera not so much, I like the wide angle camera on my previous phone(samsung s6). The system runs really smooth with the A11 bionic chip. I use a lot of apps on my phone for many reasons and this iphone handles it all well. Overall, I think Ill stick with this phone for a little while untill another device comes up that I think worth switching.

    I have had a number of iPHONES over the years. This one replaced my iPHONE 7. I am glad I replaced it. 1) Camera on the plus is awesome and well worth the additional cost. I am getting great images and video with it. 2) It is FAST! I thought the 7 was fast. A snail compared to this one. LOL 3) Screen has great clarity.

    I have been waiting for an upgrade for years! I had the iPhone 6 Plus for almost 3 years and this phone is far better. The dual cameras on the back shoot some beautiful pictures. Speakers are far better. and the A11 Bionic chip is crazy fast! The thing I like most is the color! I initially wanted the space gray, but they didn't have it in stock so I got the silver. Very very satisfied. It is a slick looking phone.

    I recently decided to upgrade from my iPhone 6 Plus to the iPhone 8 Plus (Silver/White Combo, 256GB) as I had no intentions to wait for the iPhone X. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I have only had my phone for only a couple of days now but am loving every second with it! The battery life lasts all day, the screen quality/resolution is breathtaking, the wireless charging feature is great and the camera is absolutely amazing! All in all, one of my best purchases to date!
