Lol at your comment. What's very ugly in that phone? Its same as last 3 generations.

It will certainly be interesting to see if PhoneArena will give the new iPhones higher than an 8 score. Especially when every other sites have given the new iPhone 8's a mediocre score.

The score from those sites is the key for you to decide to buy which phone?!

I never look at the score, because I am the one who use it, no one can undertand what I need more than myself.

If you believe PhoneArena is more favor to Apple, just don't bother to look at any posts from this site because they are not being fair.

Do we have to look at the score from each Windows before we upgrade to it?! Know what, I would test it myself.

Hella boring looking, and the front should've been the same color as the back, but not ugly.

After 4 years of the same phone, how can one get excited about it?

Watched unbox therapy's iphone 8 unboxing and the bg effect is still in my head.

Don't like it? Don't buy it! It's not rocket science folks.

They need to come up a reason so they can tell others why they get the new phone...

Do I need a reason to get a new phone? No, I don't have any reason because since the first generation of iPhone in 2007, all I have been is email, browser and website... since the app store then i also do gaming...

Oh! I have a reason to buy a new phone! I want a new battery LOL

lol.......yup. These phones are so far behind it's not funny. Unfotunately, iphonearena are so far up Apple's behind it's also not funny

It's a good thing you can buy want you want and nobody forces you to buy anything you don't want. You care about Apple too much, apparently.

From PhoneArena maybe.

They will save that for the iPhone X, the 8 gets a 9.3 at best, same as the last two models.

The new design of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is so on point it deserves that 9.8 rating, man. Outpaces all its competitors from all price ranges.

10. kiko007 (Posts: 7030; Member since: 17 Feb 2016)

I would've been fine if they had just one phone in the X, and used the remaining resources to acquire more X parts instead of releasing these two. Although, the camera has surpassed what I expected from preliminary reviews, so it's not all bad. The big/small combo just isn't as attractive in 2017 as it was in 2014.

16. darkkjedii (Posts: 27823; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

That would've worked as well, just don't get why this device even exists. Imagine the X only in, 64, 128, 256, and 512.

To me it sounds like they don't know how else to promote this phone.
strongest glass? wireless charging which aren't new, and AR stuff? and animoji? let see if this will happening or not, to me it sound s like 'bloatware'.

My iPad Pro was buggy after the update, how about yours?

22. darkkjedii (Posts: 27823; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Sorry for the late response, but mine is buggy, and laggy. I figure the next update should fix it, but Apple is know for fixing one thing, and breaking another with updates.

28. Diezparda (Posts: 938; Member since: 23 Oct 2013)

Not a problem bro, everyone has things to do.
There some problem like force close an apps like when i play games or just doing some web browsing, and i notice true tone working strange, the screen looks dim instead of changing color.

37. darkkjedii (Posts: 27823; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

My main issue is scroll lag. Sometimes I gotta swipe 2-3 times to get a page to scrolling. A couple crashes too, but mostly scrolling issues. I have the 12.9, from last year, so true tone won’t apply to mine.
