Review on Apple IPhone 8 Plus by Agata Sikora ᠌

The iPhone 8 Plus has a number of drawbacks that many competitors don't have, so I don't see the value in getting it if you don't already own other Apple ecosystem components (computers, speakers, watches, etc.). (1) The 3.5 mm headphone jack is missing, demonstrating that Apple's avarice knows no bounds. Two sets of headphones, one for the computer and one for the phone, have joined my table clutter. The second issue is that there is no regular vibrating alert. After the iPhone 6s line, Apple switched out the regular electric motor for a more unique Taptic Engine (an electromagnet with a moving winding, in simple terms). So, only when the phone is put vertically on the table's long side will it vibrate regularly. In the office, I regularly missed calls while the phone was on vibration mode and resting 20 cm from my hand since the vibration was so weak when it was horizontal on the table. Just try it out for yourself, and you'll see what I mean. When compared to the iPhone 5 and 6 plus, the pocket vibration is noticeably worse on this model. Also, the new vibration actuator is significantly larger and heavier (details are available on YouTube for the inquisitive) and the phone now weighs over 200 grams! The reasoning behind Apple's decision here was beyond me. The newest versions of the operating system are quite inconvenient. No longer can you disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth by navigating to the Settings > Connections > Settings > Advanced > Networking > Network Settings. You'll have to go into the configurations menu to accomplish this. This is far more easily accomplished on any low-end Android device. 4. Poor system optimization, bizarre as it may sound; minor jams (freezes) occur occasionally while scrolling through the settings menu and the notes. I agree that this is not terribly important, but it wasn't like this on the 4s at all; in fact, there are times when I wish I still had it. However, I had to donate it to the museum because otherwise it would be impossible to demonstrate that the first iPhones were superior. Amazon's app for the iPhone 8 Plus has a similar scrolling lag, however considering the slow native menus, it seems understandable.
