iPhone 8 vs iPhone XR - which should you buy? (2020 Comparison) By 91Tech

The iPhone 8, 10 8 plus came alongside the iPhone 10 and worthy final mainline iPhones to have a home button. The next year the iPhone 10 are come out alongside the 10s and similar to the 8 and 8 plus was meant to be a more budget oriented device for those who didn't need or want to pay a thousand bucks for the iPhone 10, hey how's it going I'm Josh from ninety-one sec, and today we're talking about the iPhone 8, VA plus, and the iPhone 10 are. How did they hold up and how do they compare right off the bat if you're thinking about which one you should buy the iPhone, 8a, + or iPhone 10 are, let me give you the answer. The iPhone 10 are: is the better deal I, don't think you should buy the smaller iPhone 8 right now, because it's very likely Apple is going to be replacing it with a similarly designed but better iPhone coming March in 2020, and you shouldn't buy the iPhone 8 plus, because it's only $50 less than the iPhone 10 are at least on Apple's website now mind you. If you're buying used, this could be a different story, but right now the iPhone 10 are is a pretty good deal at $5.99 sure that is still expensive, but the eight plus is 550 and the smaller eight is 450. So it's really not that much more for a newer and better device.

Of course, if you're buying from a carrier, pricing might seem a little different, but pricing differences should generally stay pretty similar. Don't get me wrong. The iPhone, 8 and 8 plus are still both gray phones and, if you're, using them right now, you're perfectly fine for probably at least another couple years. If you want to, but I do think the iPhone 10 are right. Now is better value, but with that out of the way, let's take a closer, more in-depth look at all of these phones and talk about these similarities and the differences.

The iPhone, 8 and 8 plus came out in late 2017, and we're meant to be replacements for the iPhone 7 and 7 plus they retained mostly the same design, but had a glass back which meant that these were wireless charging, capable they are able to fast charge as well, but you do need to buy the actual charger separately in typical Apple fashion. There was still no headphone jack and while these phones do come with ear pods, they no longer come with a dongle. So if you're buying one new, that's something to keep in mind, a dongle is only like 10 bucks from Apple, that's still kind of annoying the glass sandwiching the aluminum band around the phone makes for a very pleasant design. In my eyes this is a pretty great-looking phone. Even now, although something the modern tech user might not be pleased with, is the giant bezels and home button.

The home button offers very fast touch, ID, which I know some people prefer over face ID, although personally I don't fall into that category. But this is where the biggest change takes place from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone.10 are the iPhone 10 are come out in late 2018 and was a budget is option to the iPhone 10s and had the same specs as the 10s and was practically the same phone, but with a lower quality to display, and only one camera lens back. There were some benefits to the 10r, though there are many color options for you to choose from, as well as a significantly better battery. Thanks to the LCD, you can also still take Porsche photos on the 10r, even though it only has one lens, and they generally turn out pretty well. From my experience at least for people, the 10r was basically just a slightly worse 10 s, linking it feel like the phone to buy for most people, and it was outselling the 10s by a considerable margin it costed $750 last year, which is still steep, but this year it's been knocked down to 600, which is much more reasonable for a great phone.

Of course, if you're already paying 600, you could just pay 700 and get the iPhone 11, which has the ultra-wide camera lens and better specs. Obviously it's up to you and if you're already paying more than you like by buying the 10r, then I'd understand not wanting to pay even more, but I would say.100 bucks is worthwhile for the ultra-wide camera on the iPhone 11, just my two cents. Regardless of this, we are more comparing the 10r to the iPhone, 8 and 8 plus. So, let's get back to that the biggest difference. You'll notice are the screens.

The tenor drops the home button and went yearly. Bezel is not CH and having that extra screen real estate really does make for a better experience. In my opinion, of course, if you're someone who prefers the home button and old set up, I don't blame you, and in that case, I'd push you to buy the iPhone 8 over the 10 are every single time. The iPhone 10 are offers a face, ID, which Apple says, is actually more secure than touch ID, which is interesting. It creates a 3d map of your face and is extremely reliable and consistent.

I've been using face ID, since the iPhone, 10, and I can honestly say that for me personally, it feels like the most seamless way to unlock your phone. Is it actually better than touch ID? That's really up to the opinion of the user. For me, I'd say yes, but you'd be totally justified in saying no. Whichever way you prefer I think it's safe to say that you'd get used to face ID, even if it does seem like a weird concept on the surface, but touch ID works just as well. If you'd prefer that without the home button, you navigate around the phone by swiping up from the bottom I'm, not gonna, explain all the software differences as this isn't that kind of channel, but it could take some getting used to if you're unsure of what phone to get first say your grandparents or someone not very technically savvy an older home button phone like the iPhone 8 would probably be the better choice when it comes to the actual display itself, you won't notice much difference between the 10r and the iPhone 8.

Besides the general design, they all use LCD panels. Ten are and smaller iPhone eight having a pixel density of about 326 pixels per inch. The iPhone eight plus actually has a slightly better quality screen with 401 pixels per inch. You may have heard complaints about the iPhone 10 our screen at launch, but those have mostly subsided for one main reason: the screen is actually not that bad people are just exaggerating as usual for most people watching this video, the 10r trust me. It looks fine, definitely not a worry.

The small iPhone 8 is 4.7 inches. While the 10r is 6.1 inches, you can see them beside each other here. The 10r is definitely a bigger phone, comparing it to the 5.5 inch iPhone, 8 plus, and suddenly it looks smaller despite having technically a bigger screen diagonally. Even though the actual phone is a little smaller. The bezels are also smaller, which gives it more screen real estate and therefore technically a bigger screen, it's closer to the 8 plus and the 8 for sure.

So if you're coming from a smaller iPhone, the tower might be a little of an adjustment, but it's definitely not unmanageable, but let's go over those cameras. The iPhone, 8 and 10 are both have 12 megapixels, rear sensors and the ability to record in 4k at up to 60 frames per second. The 10 AS camera is, of course, better, but not by that much as you can see by the comparisons here, the photos generally are pretty similar for pretty much anybody. All these cameras should be plenty good and if you're really concerned about great photos, I'd say you should be going up to the iPhone 11 anyways, as it is a significant improvement over these two phones. Portrait photos are where things get a bit interesting as again, the 10r can take portrait photos, but it only has one lens: the smaller eight can't do it at all and while the eight plus can because it uses the second telephoto lens, the pictures won't be as wide as the 10r and thus not really.

As flattering is one way you could say it. So you could see a comparison here. You know I had to do it to him honestly, and neither of these photos really did a good job of cutting me out of the background, but, generally speaking, I think they usually do better than this. And yes before anyone makes the joke easy way to lose.20 pounds just take a picture with a wider lens, as opposed to a telephoto lens. The selfie camera isn't too much better on the 10r, except for one key addition which I'll get to all.

These phones have 7 megapixel front facing cameras that can take some just fine, looking selfies they're, not bad by any means, but also not amazing, and definitely not too, of the iPhone 11, where the 10r shines is that it can actually take portrait mode selfies thanks to the face ID sensors, and they look not great. At least for me with this, you kind of have to have the mindset of just keep snapping selfies until one of them actually turns out regardless. It is an extra feature it has over the eight plus. It also can actually just do more with portrait photos like change the amount of both in an image. This is really cool, but admittedly a feature I don't use as much as I could, but still worth mentioning and that's about it for cameras.

Well, the 10r does offer some more options and some cool features. It's definitely not worth buying over the iPhone, eight or eight plus just for the camera. Again. If the camera is important to you, I'd strongly recommend you go to the iPhone 11 as Apple really kicked it out of the park with their newest iPhones, and so I think that would be the phone to buy, especially with that ultra-wide camera. You can't beat that, but regardless the 10r holds its own, and so does the iPhone 8 and 8 plus moving to battery life.

The smaller iPhone 8 is going to have the most trouble and is easily the worst of the bunch. I wouldn't say it's bad per se, at least when you buy it brand new, but it can be a bit rough, and you know the heavier used. It is over the years. The worse, that's gonna, gets over time, compare that with the iPhone 8 plus and the iPhone 10 are, which both have outstanding batteries, particularly the 10r, which is somehow even better than the iPhone 8 plus, so definitely you're good for batteries. If you're getting the A+ or the iPhone 10, our iPhone 8 keep a charger nearby you'll be fine when it comes to pure raw technical specs.

The phones aren't that different from each other. The iPhone 8 and 8, plus both have the 11 chipset with the smaller phone owning two gigs of RAM and the plus having three that extra gig of ram in the plus is nice and should help performance down the line. But most day-to-day tasks really won't be that different between the two, the iPhone 10 are, on the other hand, has the a12, chipset and also three gigs of ram. It's faster, as you would expect. The a12 was a decent sized jump over the a11, but the truth is right now on iOS 13, all these phones perform great, and I wouldn't expect the 10r to feel that much faster.

However, I will say that it will be faster for longer as the years go by and should at least get an extra year of software support. So that's worth keeping in mind when it comes down to it. The main difference between the iPhone 8a plus and the iPhone 10 are is the home button. The 10r is a bit faster and a better camera, but beyond that there really aren't a lot of improvements to speak of. Does that mean you should go for the iPhone 8? Probably not so now.

Let's talk pricing. If you're going by Apple's website, the iPhone H will cost you 450 the 8 plus 550 and the 10 are 600 again if the 8 plus is what you came into this considering I'd buy the iPhone 10 are not that much more money for a decently better and much more modern. Looking smartphone the smaller iPhone is not at a great price. In my eyes, 450 seems a little much for it, but if you can find it used or maybe a good deal from a carrier, then that's an option. But again you do have the new iPhone coming out in early 2020.

That is a rumor at this point, but it sounds like it's really going to happen. It's going to basically be the iPhone 8, but better, so I would wait for that or find the iPhone 8 for a good deal if you can find one used or something, but overall the iPhone, 8, 8, plus and 10 are right. Now the 10 hours to phone to buy used market is always worth looking at because you can find better deals for any of those phones. Even the 10r I found this one for $500 Canadian, which is a pretty good deal. I believe that's like $380 is, American I got it off.

Craigslist I mean a deal like. That is something to look for to. At most, the 10r is only a year old and at most the age 8 plus are only 2 years old, so you're, probably getting a decent phone and, at the end of the day, they're all still perfect iPhones. You know they're, not old, yet they'll do the job, they run iOS 13 well, and you should be more than happy with any of them. Do you recommend the iPhone 10 are, but I'm also curious to hear what you guys think? So, let me know in the comments down below.

Do you want the home button? That's really.
