Time to move on...

get that sweet FaceID

I say buy an iPhone 6.

[deleted]

The iPhone 8 is still good if you don’t mind not having Face ID, MagSafe, etc

Of course man I’m still using my 6s

Flair does not check out

6s is not my main phone but still works fine

Oh i see, my fault!

I have a work phone (7) that I call and text on. Works fine. Just depends on what you’re doing with it.

No worries :)

I use my old 8+ for my work phone and I’ve had no issues with it except the battery doesn’t last as long but I could always get it replaced

Don’t understand why this is downvoted, i asked for peoples opinion, this happens to be theirs

Just curious, what do you use it for?

The 8 was probably the last great iPhone.

Because the majority of people don’t understand how to use Reddit and use the downvote button as a “disagree” button

For playing games and stuff like that:)

The SE 2 and 3 exist. They’re both better versions of the iPhone 8.

I still use an iPhone 8 as my everyday phone.

I used to use it heavily a few months ago, where I had to work on remote industrial sites, had to take pictures, send mails on the go, read documents, maps, schemes, debug automats while calling people from other countries, etc… So I was quite a heavy user. I used it in dusty, noisy, cold and hot environments

Except for the short battery life, I didn’t need anything more.

I’m only just planning to replace my iPhone 6s this year. If it still does what you need it for then I don’t see the point in replacing it. You might need a battery pack or something if it’s dying too quickly though.

I have an iPhone 8 and 7 plus. Both are still great

if u wanna continue using it then honestly it’s still a good phone

It all depends on you and if you wanna shell out money on a new device. If the new features are intriguing and you wanna upgrade go for it. If you personally don’t feel like upgrading cause it works then keep it. All depends on preference and the condition of the phone.

Cool! Do you find the older hardware ever hindering your satisfaction? For example, I have an older iPad that has nowhere near the screen quality and performance as my iPhone 13. I’d love to play games on the ipad, but I can’t reason myself to do it lol

The only thing that bothers me is the battery life haha

And it drives me nuts that Apple have stopped updates to the 7.

It's only 5 years old.

I think it's absolutely practical to keep using it. I still have my Pixel 2 XL from the same time and it would be perfectly usable as a daily driver, except for the lack of security updates since late 2020...

Use an 8+ everyday. Love it except for battery life especially after updating to ios 16. it was a forced update because more and more apps kept losing functionality.

i rock an iphone 7 and it's solid, battery life is fine as i'm not glued to the phone 12 hours a day. the phone is so slim so light and everything works and i still get security updates.

whole body is alumimium no shoddy weak glass. no need to baby it as even if I break it ,I could probably get another one for like $50. and it's ironic, the one i'm using and abusing and not babying? it's FLAWLESS, not ONE scratch. just one mini paint dent that probably came like that from the factory!

and no, magsafe, wireless charging, face id, and "super duper camera" is not essential for me.

​

to each his own!

Everyone is different. My girlfriend was on an 8 up until 6 months ago and didn’t have any complaints.
