With all the hype surrounding the iPhone X and the joy of having a working and reliable camera I forgot to take some photos of my iPhone 8 Plus which I got on launch day back in September. Almost two months on and I love this phone. Not only does it take great photos, it makes taking them easy. Annoyingly it's so good that I've hardly used my Canon 700D in the last few months but that's something I don't want to give up just yet so this is hopefully a kick start into using it again.
Having transitioned from Microsoft to Apple and Palm Pilot many years ago now, for the most part I have been an early adopter with respect to the iPhone. This time around, not so much, especially with the Canadian dollar - Us $ premium between 25 & 30%!.
No 12:01 a.m. pre-order for me. Instead I opted to research rumours, hands on and insider opinions. What with new technology, production problems, as well as the smaller size (holding with one hand), no home button, etc., I concluded that the X was not for me for now.
I opted for the 8+ and Apple Watch Series 3 With Built-In Cellular Support (I had held out until this series).
Opening the box, I was happy to see that the battery had not popped the body. The only heating problem occurred with the setup phase, including iCloud backup. This was the first time for me to have both the 7+ and the 8+ side by side, where the app detected and transferred al apps and setup with out any hiccups. Apps requiring passwords had to be updated, but all data was retained.
Lensun screen protector applied and Otterbox Symmetry series attached. The latter paid for itself yesterday when getting out my car, the phone fell out of my jacket onto the pavement (on the bottom right backside corner - would the glass have cracked without the case?).
The X remains of interest to me in that the that both lenses re stabilized, the telephoto is 2.4, and the screen is 2436-by-1125-pixel resolution at 458 ppi
1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (typical).
