7 Reasons You Should Buy an iPhone 8 in 2022!

[@shannonmacri3992]

I got so sick and tired of using all the much larger smart phones, that I bought an iPhone 8 last week. I Love It!!! I have not had a problem with it yet. Not all of us smart phone users need or want a huge smart phone. Not all of us smart phone users live on our phones playing games and wasting time on social media. The small form of the iPhone 8 is such a breath of fresh air!

[@emdotrod]

iPhone 8 is good, but for a bit more you can get the XR which is a lot better. If you want a small phone like the 8, save some more and get the SE instead. It will be a very good backup phone though.

[@RJtoon1]

No thanks I’m sticking with my eight another two years because I have about $400 worth of expensive OtterBox cases and I love that I can keep using them probably even on the next SE3 also

[@Luchon20082010]

[@peterl.104]

As someone who still uses the 8 and am going back to the store today to return the 13 with the plan to keep using the 8 for at least another 8 months, I would still recommend to someone who wants to save money to strongly consider the new SE 3 or older SE 2 if their plan is to use a phone as long as possible.

i buyed the iph8 a month ago. switching from android to apple is a really big difference. i had a 2019 released huawei and iphone 8 is much much better i dont have problems with battery life. apps run very great gaming is good. everything on this phone is very good and the price is very low. the camera is the best camera i ever had on a phone and i love the touch id. even tho the huawei i had can record in 8k i can see a better quality on the iphone

[@james2008957]

You should definitely do the 8+! I think if anything, that’s the best budget iPhone now.

[@Luchon20082010]

The 8 is definitely the better option value wise

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

I have one and I agree, it has one extra Gb or ram, one extra camera lens and a bigger battery in a full hd display. But I wish it had a smaller footprint, operating with one hand is kinda difficult.

[@aucarter]

I agree. Bought the 8+ for one of my older relatives because she loves the Home button. When this eventually dies, it’s good to know there’s the iPhone SE (3rd Edition) for her.

[@edgaryzen4925]

@@Luchon20082010 it was last year but now not anymore. The SE 3 don’t sell well hence price drops. There won’t be an SE4 in the near future :(

The 8 Plus is even better. I'm still impressed by how 3GB RAM and A11 Bionic still manages to launch and run multiple apps pretty smoothly. Plus, you get the Telephoto camera for zoom and Portrait Mode

[@thedailyremedy968]

Just ordered my iPhone 8 upgrading from 6s. 😂. I have had two 6s's. Had brief stint with iPhone 11 back to 6s within a week. I love the design and it's the right size for carrying in pocket. I don’t want something heavy and big. Prefer lcd over OLED display which causes noticeable strain on my eyes- therefore the 13 mini is no deal for me. iPhone 8 nearly 1/2 price compared to SE 256gb. I’m also wanting to detox on my portable mobile in 2022 so my main driver will be my iPad Pro which will stay at home. I’m only going to download essential functional apps-no social networking, shopping, etc. The 256gb storage will be great on the 8 as I take a lot of photos screenshots and videos-4K videos take up huge data. Big storage means less time having to continually transfer photos and videos when full. I have a portable battery charger which is works great for 3 full charges so won't have to worry with battery running out.

[@HaroldGodwinson24]

I recently purchased a 64 GB iPhone 8 in space gray and discontinued my iPhone X. I personally couldn’t stand Face ID and have much preferred the Touch ID. I was able to buy mine in excellent condition for $170!

[@RJtoon1]

Canadian reviewer eh? Well I took my two-year-old iPhone 8 to London Drugs a month ago and got a new Apple certified battery installed for $72 I think that’s a pretty good deal, and there’s really no slow down with this phone yet. I can’t say the same for the iPhone 7 I had for 2 1/2 years, it was struggling to load a Facebook page so I got rid of that and so far this eight has been perfect so I’m gambling by putting the new battery in it and hoping to get two more years. If I hadn’t put a new battery in my iPhone 8 I would’ve grabbed the amazing deal I saw on the Facebook buy and sell group for an SE 2020 with 98% battery health for $160! My friend will probably buy this one after I told him about it but yeah it is still fine for me I can still play PUBG and everything on it no lags

I would not get the 8 but a bit higher one. My husband had a 7 and when it updated it refused to take a SIM card. I’m sure the 8 is next. We were forced to update.

Typing this on my old iPhone 8 when I have both an iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Whenever I get a new phone, I give my girlfriend my old one. She has the 11 Pro Max and I have a 13 Pro Max, but I sometimes swap my SIM card to the 8 as I sometimes like carrying something smaller and a lot thinner. The 8 feels like holding a small thin graham cracker versus the 13 and 11 Pro Max’s. It’s fully still capable of simple browsing, social media, messaging, music, pictures, etc. I’m going to put a new battery in it.

[@Farrell0208]

Lol the only reason to get this is to get the plus version because an ip8 or ipSE is too small to you but you still want a home button/ Touch ID option. To me if your going for an ip8, you realistically should consider an ipSE either 2020 or 2022. They’re literally the SAME PHONE. IpSE just has newer internals and will get updates for at least another 3-5 years compared to that ip8 which will probably be out in a years time.

[@acoustic61]

I like the home button/touch ID for Apple Pay but I've ever used Face ID. All 4.7 inch iphones have terrible battery life. If they had a larger battery people would keep their old phones forever. I just sold an iphone 6S after three years of light use, battery health was still 100% but could barely get through a day if I hardly used it. I wiill say resale value was good. I paid $99 and sold it for $90. I have a six year old Android burner phone with a 5 inch screen that still gets through the day with moderate use. A friend recently gave me a like new 6S Plus which I plan to activate. Battery health is 86%. My only cost of ownership would be $49 if It needs a battery.

it would be worth it to just go with the iPhone SE. At least it will get updates for many years to come. it's way way faster. it's literally an iPhone 11 inside an iPhone 8 shell. Plus you can get them on sale a Lot. or free thru some carriers. Plus it would be brand new and eligible for Apple Care. The iPhone 8 from amazon is charging $219 for Premium certified. only guarantees a 90% battery. if the battery is bad in the 8, it will cost $69+ tax MORE which brings you within $100 (or less on sale) of the SE.. Do Not buy the 8 unless you literally can not spend more than $200 on a phone.
