I think it’s awesome that the iPhone 8 gets so much fun and so many features out of iOS 16 when you take in to consideration that it’s the oldest device supported by the software. R.I.P. my iPhone 7 Plus which didn’t make it this year but I’m happy for the iPhone 8/8 Plus owners. Love these videos 👍🏼

I noticed a cool feature that I’ve yet to see shown, but when listening to music on the lockscreen via apple music, tapping the album cover of the song changes your wallpaper to an animated cover and enlarges the album cover for a full screen display turning your lockscreen into an aesthetic media player.

Nice review, I downloaded the public beta and was waiting for some reviews. Glad to know that only a few features were denied on the 8 plus. And after your review I think I’ll wait for the final version, I was expecting some stuttering here and there but battery life is important to me right now, and on mine is very decent, so I’ll wait a few more weeks until September.

I really do think iPhone 7 could’ve still gotten this iOS 16 update. Rip iPhone 7/7 plus.

[@BrandonButch]

I do too but Apple had to rip the bandaid off eventually..

[@michaelm8188]

@Telephone Backgrounds On a Clear Day I agree but to be fair iPhone 8 and below were already quite limited on iOS 15 in terms of features. So I still think apple could’ve limited the features on the 7 and still supported it with 16 even if it misses those nureal engine features. Especially since apple supports a9 and a10 iPads still. And those who wanted to benefit from nureal engine features could’ve simply upgraded. But now the 7 meets an early end when it probs could’ve gone 1-2 more years at most.

[@michaelm8188]

But 6 years of updates is solid for a smartphone.

[@RivandaBakhtiar]

@@michaelm8188 iOS olny introcude under screen feature, no display/feature update we see, so they could brought the 7, but with iOS16 apple introduced lock screen, and apple always wanted that screen/display feature the same on every device, so yeah thats the only reason

Dear Brandon I am running 15.5 on my iPhone X. Since IOS 16 is under beta stage which may have bugs thereby affecting device performance. Will upgrade to iOS 16 when it will be available to public in September. I think Apple should give some missing features like dictation feature & some others which are otherwise not available to IPhone 8 & X. Very nice video.

[@falcondragonslayer]

Thank you for this video. I was concerned about how my old 8 would work seeing as it has had some problems with iOS 15, but most of these fears were alleviated when I saw how well it was working on this beta. Hopefully it’s not too bad for my tired old phone to upgrade to iOS 16. And all the features I wanted and would use are supported, so no problems there. Battery won’t be a problem cause I always have a power bank with me.

[@ThatTonybo]

The 8 still looks damn good for it's age. Still runs fine for what most people need too!

[@TheStopwatchGod]

As for features, many of the more advanced features are only for the A12 Bionic or later, a.k.a, the iPhone XS or later. Some features like Face ID in landscape mode are only in the iPhone 12s and 13s. The 12s and 13s get all the features, the XS, XR, and the 11s get almost all features, and the 8 and 8 Plus still get most of the important features, the ones that people will remember from the keynote.

[@matiasmuttoni9044]

Ima be honest.. If I can’t use half of these iOS 16 features.. then I might as well not update it. They’re small things but that’s the reason why. These are small aspects that I feel won’t make the phone suffer. The iPhone 8 could totally take it on. I also would not risk the phone getting slower or anything. I am although, going to update my iPhone SE but it’s small compared to my 8Plus and because I bought my 8plus after the SE just for the sake of it, I’ve opened my desires to bigger and higher-res screens. I’ve adjusted to the Plus model. Might save for a 14 or a 15 in the future. I can probably keep this phone for another year then quickly update to the iPhone 15. One more thing, when I updated it to iOS 15…. I’ve missed out on some design features AND I’ve missed out on the noise cancellation when FaceTiming. So I can turn background noise off, I can only do it on my SE. so sad :(

It wouldn’t let me do it when you can see the roll of photos on the bottom and the options on top. Maybe the iPhone 8 doesn’t have the feature at all because it’s an older phone. But just in case others have problems, there you go.

So I’m glad there’s a lot of features in iOS 16 that I can get in my iPhone 8. I don’t have the beta anymore on my iPhone 8 am I used to be one of the people that had the public beta on my iPhone. But the last time I did Beta was for I was 15 and I didn’t know that it was just part of the beta because I’ve never had any buggy issues like some people do with the beta. And I was 15 beta public beta I had an issue with this thing popped up every few minutes every few minutes or every hour I can’t remember it will pop up and I didn’t know until I already got it fixed the people are saying that in the beta it would pop up and act like your charger was not compatible and it always did every few minutes or every hour I can’t remember. To the point I had to re-store my iPhone eat and get rid of iOS 15 beta. As much as I really want I’ll at 16 I can wait. I still have the beta on my iPad Pro 9.7 inch and I do have iOS 16 on it although I was hoping to find somebody who had the same iPad whether it’s the iPad Pro 9.7 or an iPad Pro 10 I was hoping to find someone who did I could tell me what features from iOS 16 they did get. Because I need to play around with them more because so far I haven’t noticed anything new I’m not gonna get a whole lot of three features no not my iPad Pro 9.7. The end of this year became next year I’m gonna have to look at a better iPad Pro I like those because they compare those to like a computer we can do pretty much would a MacBook do but in an iPad and that’s why I have it because I do not have a MacBook. But yeah I’m gonna have to get that I had pro because I don’t even know why iOS 16 is allowed to be used on my iPad Pro because I’m not seeing anything different
