Should You Buy iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 8? By Nick Ackerman

Should you buy an iPhone, 7 plus, or an iPhone 8 coming up right? Now, let's go so. What is up guys and welcome to? Should you buy an iPhone, 7 plus or an iPhone 8? Now, if you're on the Left I got a jet black iPhone 7, plus 128 gigs on the right here, I have a Space Gray, iPhone 8, 64 gigs and a few people been asking me this question. This is a confusing one. Due to the price point, the iPhone 7 plus you can have for 669 for a 32 gig, that's less than the starting price point of the 64 gig iPhone, 8 and I. Think that might be a confusion for some people. Also, the 128 gig is not only 769 here on the 7 plus and the go up to 256 gigs over here you go all the way up to 849 bucks there on the iPhone 8.

So that's what we're gonna break down here in this video I'm gonna talk about the specifications first between these two, the ones that matter you know primarily so on the iPhone 7 plus, we do have a 5.5 inch. Retina HD display 1080p 401, PPI 12 megapixel camera on the rear, 4k video recording. We do have the 2nd gen touch: ID apple 8 and fusion 3 gigs of ram. We know the story here: the stereo speakers, the removal of the headphone jack ip67 rating over here on the iPhone, a 4.7 inch display, retina, 326, PPI, 12, megapixel, 4k camera capable up to 4k sixty-first on a smartphone and oh at least on an iPhone anyway.2Nd gen touch ID once again here, no headphone jack and proof speakers on the front Apple an 11 bionic with 2 gigs of RAM, so less RAM in this boy right here, but you're going to see later that this boy is actually faster, even with less RAM, okay guys. So let's speak quickly about the body 2 bills in the design, so apples I'm pretty much doing this design for quite a while.

Now this you know oval her design or this curved design around the edges here, since the iPhone 6 plus the iPhone 7 plus, is an iteration of that on the jet black I. Wouldn't recommend you get this flavor because or this you know it's a flavor like tastes, you know like I'm, going to eat the iPhone or something, but what I mean by that? Is this iPhone just scratches up really easily, even though it looks really nice in the right lighting conditions. You actually look nice here on camera, but up close I do got some dents, some dings, not as good as the aluminum build here, but the weight here is pretty light for a big phone and that's what I liked a lot about the iPhone 7 plus overall premium, build though on the 7 plus coming over at iPhone me this one. Actually, it's definitely lighter than the 7 plus, but not too much lighter. To be honest with you now, the iPhone 8 gets a little heavier than the iPhone 7, but this guy right here feels a little more premium due to its glass back, so the body in the building design very similar here.

Just that you know it kind of- is just a touch better than what you had on the 7. But overall you get that dual camera. So I don't think the design is that much of a deal here, especially if you won with the jet black. That kind of looks the same as this new glass here. If you ask me, okay guys so in terms of the front of the phones, they actually look very similar if I turn them off, especially you wouldn't even be able to tell which was which, when it comes to the design, it's the iPhone, it looks the same on the front and the bottom home button is exactly the same size as well, so all in all the same design we've been seeing for year after year on these phones.

Alright guys. So let me talk displays with you here as an area where you really should pay attention when it comes to these smartphones, if you're deciding to do an upgrade from the 7 plus or if you're going to be buying. One of these just now so true tone does make its way here to the iPhone 8. If you don't know what that is, it adjusts the lighting of the phone ? like a yellowish warm color and keeps the thing looking pretty natural to the eye, no matter what time the day is, however, on the iPhone 7 plus, you don't get that, but there is an advantage to the 7 plus the 7 plus is going to give you 1080p. What that means is that you have sharper text more pixels throughout the display, and these displays actually, when it comes to brightness they're about the same I would say: I wouldn't even say the iPhone 7 plus might look a little brighter just because it has more screen to kind of shine at your face.

So if you were picking up a phone based on display, you're going to pay a little more money to get an iPhone, and you're going to get a worse display, in my opinion, on the iPhone 8. Now both of these displays are fantastic in terms of color reproduction color accuracy. However, if you're looking for one of these phones and for the money, you're paying you're, getting a better long-term display, I would say in the 7 plus, regardless of the fact that it doesn't have true tone, okay, guys so talking about iOS 11, the software you're going to get here on both of these phones. Now, of course, they run about the same regardless. If you get the true tone feature here on the iPhone 8, the software I think runs better on a bigger phone.

I don't mean like the performance. What I mean is that it seems to be more optimized for bigger devices. That's why it gets even better on an iPad. So that's just my personal opinion. You might differ over, although it's a consistent experience either.

One of these you get you're running day-to-day. The same exact software, nothing's really gonna change here. So don't come into this purchase. Thinking that you're going to get a feature here and there on your iPhone, 7 plus you're, not gonna, get on your 8. It's just not going to happen.

This is not how you know: Apple works. They pretty much. Keep everything the same here. So when it comes to software, I think that you know having three gigs of RAM doesn't matter so much as having an A 11 so running it in the long term. I would say that the iPhone 8 is the better choice.

For you know long term. Software updates, but in terms of you know, enjoyment of use I would go with the 7 plus okay guys. So this is gonna, be a tough one to dissect here really quickly, but we're going to break it down for you here on these cameras, so the iPhone 7 plus gives you that 12 megapixel 4k portrait shooter here. This was really you know widely publicized when it first dropped and a lot of people, especially photographers portrait, photographers, absolutely loved their 7 plus. For this feature and I think it was a fantastic camera.

Phone I still didn't prefer it over Samsung's works with their Samsung AMOLED pictures. They just look better to me just the way they punch up saturation here. I'm gonna use this Nokia 6 to take a sample with both of these. So you do have the ability to go ahead and toggle like this. With the 2x- and this has a farther zoom than the iPhone 8, however I think the iPhone 8 is gonna, be a better camera phone for those of you who don't really want to be messing around and getting a little.

You know super-professional, which are fallen, but you could argue for k60 makes its way to the little iPhone 8. So you could be professional and use that. So you see the photo. Art already looks just a little better there on the iPhone 8. Let me go ahead and go over the photo, and you could see it still looks fantastic there on the 7.

So there's a 7 plus and let's take a look here at the iPhone 8 and there's the 8. So the 8 gives you a little more saturation, a little clearer, there's, a 7 plus there's d 8, not that much of a difference here, though, in terms of shutter speed about the same you're getting the same software. Really there is one slight difference, and that is that the iPhone 8 will give you the vibrational feedback. So it has nice little feel when you hit the camera. Icon live photos make their way here on both, but here's how it breaks this down.

If you care about photography, this is a tough one, but I would say, maybe get the 7 plus over the 8, because you do get yourself that portrait lens now the tier pictures you can just easily edit the 7 pluses to make them look just like the iPhone 8, and if you want to do video, skip the 7 plus in this choice between these two and get the iPhone 8, because it does 4k 60, which is fantastic. Overall, though neither one of these cameras will disappoint. They both have one feature over the other, and that makes it confusing photographers pick. The 7 plus videographers pick the 8 all right guys. So, let's get into battery life between both devices.

Now the 7 plus is a champ on battery life. I'm going to say that right out of the gate, so is the 8, though now this is a little strange, but I'm going to go on record to say my experience with the battery life has been about on par between these two, and I'll. Tell you why, so I think it comes down to that an 11 bionics efficiency, that chip is very efficient, and I've, been finding myself getting very similar battery life to the 7 plus when I first got this new on the iPhone 8, so the iPhone 8 is a step-up in battery life for a smaller iPhone I. Don't think a lot of people are talking about this, but this is a nice little battery life on here. If you want a smaller phone with some good juice to keep you going all day now, I do think the 7 plus, maybe have slightly longer battery real life through heavier use like when you're really pounding on it, but just normal, tasking and daily.

You know use it's about the same, to be honest with you here, regardless of their different capacity sizes. Now talking about the eight plus, that's a big update, but you're trying to make the choice here between these two battery life both are gonna. Give you some great juice. If you want to know specific numbers, we get about seven to eight hours on screen time on each okay guys. So, let's talk performance between buying a seven plus in an iPhone eight.

Now I don't want to come up here and just talk pure paper performance. You know. Oh, it's an A eleven, it's faster, it benches more on Geek bench! Well, of course it's the newer chip I would expect it to bench more on Geek bench I'm gonna talk about my experience with these, and this should help you decide which one you should buy here for performance. So taking these out of the box, you can take them out of the box, and if you don't put these side-by-side, you will not see no difference. Clearly, you have seen right they're slightly faster on the eight going into something like clock.

Some system apps here, it's just a tinkle faster on the iPhone II going into, or I skip that one out. Let's go to weather again, let's close out whether they're on the seven plus and going in the weather, you can see just a slight bit faster there on the iPhone eight and that's pretty much it around the board. This phone totally just feels a slight bit faster, so if you're buying either one of these- that's not to say neither one of these are powerful. These things are powerhouses. Both of them will fly through everything you do day to day, and I'm talking everything movie, editing, video, editing, downloading apps playing games, multitasking, whatever you want to do with these boys, they're going to get the job done here and that's to save for I would say quite a long time now.

If you want to push AR forgets about the seven plus it'll, do it, but you're going to want the eight if you're going to be rendering video and all the time, or you're going to be I would say doing some music stuff like what GarageBand stuffs like that, I'd get the eight. But if you know, you know you don't find yourself using your phone like that, get the seven plus it's a better value here between these phones, because it's only again a slight bit faster on the eight okay guys. So let's talk about the audio and call experience, so I think the eight actually does better here than the seven plus. Now I don't know if it's my unit, but I've had quite a few. You know issues with people hear me speak on my iPhone 7 plus.

This is probably totally just my phone and the speakers sound, clearer and crisper on the iPhone 8. So if you care a lot about your audio I would say, skip out the 7 plus here and just go for the 8 you're gonna, like it a little better and what about the conclusion here, which one is the phone to go with? Is it the 7 plus here? Should you buy this one or should you buy the iPhone 8 I hope this video really gave you a lot of sections you could break this down with, but to me of these two because they're in such a close price quarters, I still think the is the better choice and I mean I. Just think it offers the better feeling build? Yes, it's smaller, but it is just looks better to me. It feels better in the hand it's faster, snappier I set a slight bit faster, but you know at the end of the day when we get into the newer software's, it's going to be a faster phone. Also, the photos, you don't need to edit stuff to get better photos.4K 60 is groundbreaking, and it's mostly you know the future of iPhone. Why I would say pick up this 8, it's just it's very close to the same price, but the iPhone, 7 plus I would say if you're trying to get the big screen iPhone.

But you don't want to go iPhone 10, you don't want to go iPhone, 8 plus, and this one's, not even in your mind, that's where I would say, killer value here on the iPhone, 7 plus, and I'm not trying to make this video saying that this is not a great phone. This is a fantastic smartphone, almost a perfect smartphone if it had a headphone jack. If you ask me anyway, I hope this video helps you make your decision Nick here up and you to master your technology. If you guys found this video helpful, enjoyable hit that thumbs up for me and if you're new here consider, subscribing I will catch you all in the next one hand, pays you.
