the most common question I hear today is
if the iPhone eight is a worthy upgrade
some people still have the iPhone 7 and
feel that this is just an iPhone 7s and
then there's the irony that you can
still buy both from Cupertino at the
moment with the 7 costing slightly less
money it's only fair for us to put them
head-to-head on a comparison to see just
how similar they really are I'm high net
event with market now and this is iPhone
8 vs. iPhone 7 brought to you by deep
brand
let's get the obvious out of the way
first the iPhone 7 is more like the
iPhone 6s s and for the iPhone 8 let's
just add an extra s to that this is the
fourth year in a row that Apple iterates
this design and if you went for the
matte black or Space Gray Varian's I
chose they're almost indistinguishable
from a distance you have to get close to
the iPhone 8 to notice that there is
glass on the back instead of aluminum
that the color is more of a darker tone
of gray instead of black and that the
Apple logo and iPhone texture now
attends to Chrome like in the old days
dimension wise the iPhone ADA's are here
larger than the 7 in every way fractions
of a millimeter taller wider and thicker
though 10 grams heavier and you notice
that the moment you hold them
side-by-side the alumina on the 7 is
less prone to fingerprints than the
glass on the 8 but at the expense of
being more slippery when handled I still
prefer aluminum because it's one less
part that breaks in case of a fall but
if what it was charging is your thing
only the glass on the 8th can achieve
that and since we've begun to discuss
features and specifications the 8
obviously has all the newer toys the a11
Bionic follows the latest and more
efficient 10 nanometer process versus 60
nano meter on the 810 fusion Ram is
reportedly the same two gigabytes if
you're buying today the iPhone 7 comes
with 32 or 128 gigabytes of storage the
iPhone 8 comes with 64 or 256 gigabytes
both devices share ip67 water and dust
resistance as well but the only place
where the 7 wins at least in numbers is
because it's battery is 8 percent larger
for content consumption both devices
support a retina HD IPS LCD that
supports the p3 color gamut the iPhone 8
wins again by bringing true tone
technology of the iPad pro which adapts
the displayed tone to the lighting
surrounding it the iPhone 8 also has
slightly more powerful stereo speakers
than the 7 but I recommend watching
wands real audio review for a full
comparison on that
in software there's really nothing to
compare here both devices run Iowa's 11
and this is one of those cases where
absolutely everything the iPhone eight
can do the iPhone seven can do as well
we have a separate video detailing the
improvements to this new operating
system so I'd rather not for you with
the basics gliding through menus and
launching basic applications perform
about the same on both devices I notice
speedier performance and hard core stuff
like restoring the iPhone eight from a
backup but that's just about it even for
things like gameplay the iPhone 7 is no
slouch when compared to Apple's latest
and greatest wear I have noticed a
significant difference is in battery
life the ten nanometer process on the
a11 is clearly a more efficient ship
even when running on a slightly smaller
battery the iPhone 8 has been the first
ever
regular-sized iPhone that I've been able
to use for a full day without the need
to top up by 4:00 p.m. and listen I said
the only one the iPhone 7 and even the
seventh was have proven to be
disappointments in this department as
you'll notice on our after the buzz
videos and then where I haven't really
noticed significant differences is in
the camera I highly suggest you watch
wands real camera review he actually
focuses this video more on making it a
comparison between the iPhone 8 plus and
the iPhone 7 plus and the differences
are negligible for all that Apple
mentioned that it had refreshed the
sensors that's really not visible here
don't get me wrong though this is not a
bad thing this just means that both the
8 and the 7 are great at photography
video recording is where things are
different but not when you record a
regular video it's when you tax the
iPhone a to its maximum capabilities
like being able to record 4k at 60
frames per second or being able to
record slow-motion video at 1080p at 240
frames per second thinks that the iPhone
7 can't do and not even the camera that
I'm using to film this comparison either
and I think the camera experience is the
best way to conclude this comparison
those are you looking for major
differences between the iPhone 7 and the
iPhone 8 might be disappointed that
there aren't that's what the iPhone
tennis for and if you're wondering why
the iPhone 8 exists that's because I
know a significant amount of people that
like the iPhone as it is they want the
latest and greatest iPhone but they
don't want to lose touch ID or even the
rest of the experience that they're used
to if you already have the iPhone 7
upgrading doesn't really make sense but
if you're in the market for a new iPhone
and don't want to wait for the 10 I
would highly recommend the iPhone 8 more
than the iPhone 7 simply because it's
newer hardware it performs better when
it comes to battery life and while Apple
supports a newer phone for a longer
period of time and regardless of what
you choose fingerprints and smudges are
always going to be a given the brand
skins will eliminate those fingerprints
and add some grip to your upcoming
iPhone 8 or any iPhone for that matter
