David Hanak Apple unveiled the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus last Tuesday, so it was only a matter of time before they hit the web first review. As customers from the first wave countries will receive their phones as early as Friday, the first reviews started to appear as early as this week. Let's take a look at some reviews of established foreign servers so that we can get an idea of what to expect from the news.

A significant part of the reviews are basically repeated, and there was a consensus among the reviewers that the iPhone 8 is a very good phone, which made up for the supposed shortcomings of the iPhone 8 and added a little something extra. Although most of the attention is focused on the new iPhone X, which will go on sale in two months, the iPhone 8 is very often (and wrongly) neglected. The same goes for his bigger sibling. The iPhone XNUMX also appeared in reviews of Apple iOS mobiles on the Arecenze comparison portal.
The author of the review on the server 9to5mac compliments the overall tone of the phone. If you're unimpressed with the iPhone X and even more put off by its price tag, going for a model "below" will get you one of the best phones on the market right now. Also good news for prospective owners is the fact that the eight shares most of the important hardware with the Model X.

Dan Pražák Reviews on the server Business Insider she is a little less enthusiastic. The author of the text states that for the first time in the ten-year history of the brand, he cannot recommend buying a new phone. Mainly because an even better model is on the way. In the end, it's all about how much money the customer wants to pay for a new phone. If money is not a problem, there is no point in buying the iPhone 8, the iPhone X is definitely a better option. If, on the other hand, there is a price limit, the figure eight is still a good option.

According to the review on the server CNN the new iPhones should have been called 7s rather than 8. Compared to the older generations, we have seen rather slight changes, a slightly better processor, a slightly better camera... According to the author, the most important innovation is the presence of wireless charging. Among other things, it is said to solve the problem that arose with the arrival of the iPhone 7. Thanks to wireless charging, it will no longer be a problem to listen to music while the phone is charging.

On the contrary, Johny Gruber's review from the server is more positive Daring Fireball. According to him, the iPhone 8 is underrated because it is currently in the shadow of what will come in two months. Although most of the hardware is the same. The author mentions the presence of a glass back as the first major change since the release of the iPhone 6. As well as the presence of True Tone technology. A new processor, a better camera and new software elements are "just" icing on the cake. According to the author, the iPhone 8 is definitely not just a "boring update to the iPhone 7".
Reviews on the server Engadget sounded basically the same. The author originally thought that it would not be a major change compared to last year's models. However, in the course of testing, he found out how wrong he was. Whether it's a new camera, processor, great performance and new software gadgets. The iPhone 8 definitely looks like more than just an update to the iPhone 7. However, the main star of this fall and winter will still be the iPhone X.
According to the server The Telegraph iPhone 8 is a great choice for those who don't struggle every year to buy the best models, the flagship from their favorite brand. If you don't need the latest features and don't care about having the latest and greatest available on the mobile market (technology-wise), the iPhone 8 is a great choice as it offers a lot of new features and improvements over the previous version. Especially in terms of display, camera, performance and reliability.
According to the review on the server TechCrunch on the contrary, it is the camera that is one of the biggest draws of the new phone. The entire review was focused more in that direction and when it comes to taking pictures and recording videos, this is a really great phone. If you combine new hardware with new software, the result is really good. If you don't need a bezel-less OLED display and Face ID, the iPhone 8 offers almost everything else without waiting.

According to the server reviewer Time the new iPhone 8 is the ideal device for those with iPhone 6s or older models. If you are one of them, and you don't want to pay such a high amount for the iPhone X, the eight is the right solution. However, if you have an iPhone 7, the upgrade is no longer so clear, as you are not expecting such a big leap. In this case, it would make sense to go straight to the X model.
The verdict in the server review The Verge claims that if you have an iPhone 7, switching to the eight is not sufficiently justified, given the upcoming release of the iPhone X. After a week of testing, the author could not come up with a single reason to switch to the eight from the seven. Wireless charging can be solved with a cover, software gadgets are said to be with the help of applications. However, if you have an older iPhone, the change makes sense.

Who wants to wait... I'm going for the 8 plus 256GB... anyway, I think that in a few months the iPhone X bazaars will be full.
Why do you think the Xka bazaars will be full?
It can do everything that Plusko does, with the difference that it is smaller, lighter, has a better display, etc.
For me the news is disappointing, nothing groundbreaking like we were used to. Now he just chased those who have been using the given technologies for some time.
Xko is very interesting progress, but the question is who will want to pay this amount for a mobile phone ;-).
In truth, one of the things that bothers me about my current model is the 64GB storage, the latter doesn't bother me somehow, so upgrading even from the iP6s doesn't make that much sense.
Of course, thanks to the new iTunes, I am completely without application backups (because they all don't fit on my mobile anymore).
Water resistance is good (which iP7 already had).
Charging without a cable is fine, but I don't have a wireless charger anyway, and it doesn't make much sense to pay 2-3k for it (I don't have a watch or headphones, and I can charge them with a cable for 1/4 the price, and I can still use them for synchronization with a MAC, or PC).
Improved photos are good, that's always useful, but I already have good photos :-).
It's certainly nice that it's capable of machine learning, but the question is when it will be used for something other than FaceID, which only Xko has. As a rule, it takes 1/2 year to a year before new technologies start to be used by the last developer.
