What's up guys is Cody here and today in this video
We're gonna be talking about the iPhone 10 versus the iPhone 8 versus the iPhone 8
Plus now the point of this video is to help you guys make a decision on what device you want to purchase?
So I'm gonna be going through all of the changes and all of the differences between all of these devices
That way you can make a more informed decision, so let's go ahead and get started so first
Let's start with color, so if you're dead set on getting a gold iPhone
Then you can't get the iPhone 10 because it only comes in Silver and Space Gray so the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
Come in that Gold color as well, and the Gold color looks awesome to me
they actually change it up a bit because they have a glass back on the back of the device now so the back of the
Device is a whole lot lighter of a gold color
Than what you would normally see on the iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7 plus
So if you go with the iPhone 10, then you're gonna have to either get silver or Space Gray now
They both still look really great
But I just really wish we would have seen a gold iPhone 10 because I would have been all over that
Especially the way that the iPhone 8 and 8 plus look
They look great in that gold color because with that glass back for the wireless charging that all of these devices have they all have
Wireless charging, but that glass back with that gold accent colors all the way around the device
I just think it looks really good
So if color is a top priority
And you want a gold one you're gonna have to go with the 8 or the 8 plus so now let's talk about
Display first of all with the iPhone 8. We have a 4.7 inch display with the iPhone 8 plus
We have a 5.5 inch display, so nothing's changed there from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 8
But with the iPhone 10 we actually have a bigger display at 5.8 inches
And it's actually in a smaller form factor than in the iPhone 7 plus or the iPhone eight plus the other main difference is is
The 5.8 display on the iPhone 10 is a super retina HD display versus the retina HD display
Which we have on the seven the seven plus the eight and the eight plus
So nothing's changed there either camera specs still have not changed from the 7 to the 8 to the 10 in terms of hardware
so they're all 12 megapixel and
The iPhone 8 plus as well as the iPhone 10 both have that dual lens
So you get that wide angle and the telephoto cameras the iPhone 8 still only has the standard lens.
Face ID is a massive selling point for the iPhone 8 not only is it more secure
But it's also going to be more convenient so the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 plus has the exact same touch ID that you
See in the 7 and 7 plus from a previous generation of course
There's nothing wrong with Touch ID, I love Touch ID, and I'm actually kind of sad that it's gone completely
But with the iPhone 10 you now have Face ID so if you look at your device
It's going to unlock and all you have to do is swipe up to go directly to your Home Screen
So if you haven't heard much about Face ID you can still use Apple Pay
Using Face ID all you have to do is just double tap on that side button on the side of the device and then hold
It over and as long as your face is right in front of it
Which it should be then it's going to allow that Apple pay to go through. So what about the speed of these devices?
Well they all have the exact same CPU the brand new A11 Bionic chip
So that's across the board for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 plus & the iPhone 10
They've all had the exact same CPU
So are we going to see better performance out of one of those devices over the other? It's very possible and if we do
it's probably not going to be terribly noticeable so what's another thing all the way across the board that all these devices have?
That's wireless charging so like I said all of these devices have a glass back for that Qi wireless charging
So what about storage for all these devices well all the way across the board they're exactly the same
So for all three of these devices the base model is 64 gigs you can step that up to 256 gigs if you want to
But again you're not going to get the 512 gigs that we thought we were going to see with the iPhone 10
So we talked about screen size
But now let's talk about the actual quality of the display so like I said the iPhone 10 has a super retina HD display
Versus the retina display on the iPhone 8 and 8 plus the display is
Exactly the same on the iPhone 8 and 8 plus just like it was on the iPhone 7 and 7 plus
So this is still the LCD multi-touch display with IPS technology now on the iPhone 10
You're gonna step that up because now we have an OLED screen on the iPhone 10 again. This is a 5.8
inch display on a smaller form factor
So while you have the smaller device you actually get a bigger screen than the iPhone 8 plus.
Not to mention on the iPhone 10 you have HDR display so that high dynamic range
So that's just gonna make the entire screen and all of the content on that screen
just look so much better and the resolution on the iPhone 10 is 2436-by-1125 at
458 pixels per inch so that pixel density is a whole lot more dense
Meaning a whole lot better quality than on the iPhone 8 Plus
Which is at 401 pixels per inch and on the iPhone 8
Which is at 326 pixels per inch. So now let's talk about contrast ratio so on the iPhone 8. We're talking about
1400 to 1 on the iPhone 8 plus
1300 to 1, so it goes down a bit on the iPhone 10, 1 million to 1
So that's a big jump. That's a pretty big jump
if you ask me and all three of these devices have true tone display
So if you're not familiar with that on the iPad Pro, we had true tone display
And what it does is there's these ambient light sensors that senses all the light around you
And then it matches that light temperature to your display on your device so really the whole reason for that is to reduce eyestrain
But again all these devices have that so it's not really something that's gonna make one device stand out and of course the other big
Change on the iPhone 10 is it it doesn't have a home button so your going to be using all
Gestures or you're gonna use that side button on the side of the device in order to activate some things like Siri or Apple pay
And if you're trying to go home to the home screen
And you're just gonna swipe up from the bottom if you need to get into the app switcher
Then you'll swipe up and hold and that's gonna bring you to the app switcher so all of those features of the home button are
Still in the iPhone 10
you just don't have a physical home button
so for the size weight and dimensions
Of these devices the iPhone 10 is going to be closer to the iPhone 8 than
it is the iPhone 8 plus even though the iPhone 10 has a bigger screen than the iPhone 8 plus the
Actual size of the device is closer related to the iPhone 8
So you can see right here that the height of the iPhone 10 is 5.65 inches when the iPhone
Eight is at 5.45 inches, the width of the iPhone 10 at 2.79 inches and the width of
the iPhone 8 at
2.65 inches the depth is pretty much the same all the way across the board and the weight of the iPhone 10 is gonna fall
in between the iPhone 8 plus in the iPhone 8 so for me the iPhone 10 really steps ahead in this section just because the
IPhone 7 plus which is what I use right now
I just feel like it's too big if it didn't have a forehead and chin on it
Then it would be a whole lot easier to reach all the spaces that I want to but I think that the iPhone 10 is
Going to help make using your device one-handed a whole lot easier which is something
I'm definitely looking forward to. So portrait mode is only going to be available
On the iPhone 8 plus in the iPhone 10 so the iPhone 8 does NOT have portrait mode because it doesn't have those dual
lenses
But one of the new features that they just announced at the Apple event is
portrait lighting
So this brand new feature is only going to be on the iPhone 8 plus in the iPhone 10 so a portrait lighting is going
To allow you to do is change the lighting in your portrait pictures
And there's a few options that you can take advantage of while you're scrolling through this portrait lighting mode
But like I said in my last video. This is not just an overlay or a filter that you're putting on your device
It's actually doing some
computation in order to make the picture fit the effect they all can record 4K at 60 frames per second they can all record 1080p at
240 frames per second and they all have optical image stabilization. Now if we switch over to the front camera
That's when the iPhone 10 starts to take a little bit more of a lead so on the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 plus
You just have a regular FaceTime camera at 7 megapixels now on the iPhone 10 you have a true depth camera now
This is still a 7 megapixel camera
But the 3 things that the iPhone 10 has that the iPhone 8 and the 8 plus do not have is
1) portrait mode 2) is the portrait lighting effect and 3) is Animojis
So if you haven't heard of Animojis just yet, these are 3d emojis that you can emote yourself
So if I was going to send an Animoji I would just hold my phone up like this I would tap the Animojis
That I wanted to use and then I would talk and it would basically
Move its mouth with me. It would smile when I smiled, it would frown when I frown and then you can send the emoji
That's animated to another person using iMessage
So it's not only just you know I smile and the emoji smiles or I frown and the emoji frowns
But I can record an entire voice message
And then I can send that audio with the Animoji to somebody so that seems pretty cool
So of course if you're looking for top of the line you're gonna go for the iPhone 10
But the thing that makes the iPhone 10 stand apart is
The size, so it's a smaller form factor with a bigger screen than the iPhone 8 plus, it has an OLED display, it has Face
ID it has the capability of doing the Animojis from the front-facing camera not to mention the portrait mode with the portrait lighting
With the front-facing camera as well in the super retina HDR display that has a higher
Resolution and a much more pixel dense display than the other two devices and that's really it
But the most important thing, how much do they cost? The iPhone 10 costs
$999 for the base model is 64 gigs, the iPhone 8 plus starts at
$799 so $200 cheaper and the iPhone 8 starts at $699, so
699 to 799 to
999 if you bump up to 256 gigs on any of those devices, it's an additional $150
So we're talking about a price difference of three hundred dollars between the iPhone 10 and the iPhone eight
But the $300 difference between the iPhone 10 and the iPhone 8
That's a lot of money!
So hopefully this comparison in this breakdown will help you make a decision so let me know in the comments below which device you plan
On picking up. Is it the iPhone 10, is it the iPhone 8 plus, the iPhone 8?
