    iPhone 8 Plus horrible lens flare and reflections

    Hi everyone, Last night I went out to take some photos with my new iPhone 8 Plus and I realised that there were many little dots everywhere when I shot to light sources. Sometimes it’s like a big reflection inside the lens. When you use the 2x zoom you can see this glare twice as big...

    Love my 8+ and can’t wait for the iPhone X Plus next year

    I am loving the 8+ a lot. Coming from the 6+ this phone is a substantial improvement. The screen is amazing with tru tone. SO SPEEDY. Given my experience so far Idk how I could justify $200 more for the 256gb x basically the same phone except for the screen. I like the x but not the price for...

    eBay scalper prices for the 8 Plus are ridiculous!

    Anyone got $5000 to burn? :rolleyes: https://www.ebay.com/i/142506284639 There are several sellers asking for upwards of $1000. I thought there was low demand for this model?

    The Upgrading from IPhone 5s to 8/8 Plus Thread

    What is your experience going from the 5s to the 8/8 Plus? First - I was surprised at how seamlessly the upgrade went. I backed up the 5s last night and upgraded to iOS 11 this morning. Everything worked as it should have. Visual Voice mail took a little while to show up on the 8 Plus. iOS 11...

    Testing out the inbuilt camera's HDR feature on the 8 plus

    Just testing out the inbuilt camera's HDR feature on a flower that has plenty of highlight and shadow details to see what it can actually do! I set the 'Auto HDR' feature off in 'Settings' as you never actually know when the camera will choose to use it and then turned HDR on in the camera...

    Portrait Mode limitations

    Had a quick play with Portrait Mode on my 8 plus, and while it's pretty good, it does have its limitations. It quite noticeably removes a lot of fine detail from around your subject when applying its mask to blur the background. In the following images, you can see how the fine hair detail of...

    Personal 8+ Review

    Arrived at Apple Store at The Falls around 7:20am. Reservation set for 9:00am- “unlocked” 256GB Space Gray T-Mobile 8+. Things I’ve noticed- The weight. There is some heft to it but it’s not hand cramping heavy like some people made it seem. Space gray IMO looks like a clash of matte black and...

    AppleCare+ ... Do you get a case?

    So, it looks like I'm going to get my iPhone 8 Plus through the IUP. I've had iPhones all the way back to the 3G but never gotten AppleCare+ ... until now. So my question is this: For those of you that get AppleCare+, do you also get a case and/or screen cover for your iPhone? Or do you take the...

    iPhone 8 plus Space gray picture thread!

    iPhone 8 plus Space gray picture thread! Id love to see pictures of the space gray model as people begin receiving them today. I really haven’t been able to get a good idea of the actual color. The picture on apples website isn’t even that good. Thanks!

    iPhone 8 plus image quality

    UPDATE 23/09/217 @DannyT2011 Just pointed out that you can in fact turn on HDR when you want! Rather than relying on the 'Auto' setting which you have zero control over when it will kick in! Just turn off 'Auto HDR' in the camera settings, found in 'Settings.' Then, you will have 'HDR' reappear...

    iPhone Upgrade Program: Layman's Terms Please?

    I haven't purchased a new iPhone since the 6 a few years ago but am going to take the plunge on an 8 Plus. In the past, I have purchased in full from my provider, AT&T. With the IUP, though, I'm a little confused as to what I should do. I like the idea of paying in installments but I'm unsure of...

    Is the silver 8 Plus more white than silver?

    Hi! Agonizing here over gold vs silver for the 8 Plus. The back of silver looks white in some pictures/video and more silver in others. And sometimes the back of the gold looks like a beautiful, warm golden color and other times it shows up as an ugly beige? Thoughts? I'd go for the space grey...

    iPhone 8 plus camera can turn off HDR!

    UPDATE (22/09/2017) It turns out you actually can turn off the HDR feature that ships turned on by default on the iPhone 8 plus! Thank goodness for that! James Martin, the senior photographer for CNET obviously didn't go into the settings to verify his claim that it couldn't be turned off. The...

    Why the price discrepancies?

    It's been mentioned a little in other threads, but why the HUGE price discrepancies between the iPhones for those of us not in America? Just using the iPhone 8+ 64GB as an example, as it's the model I went ahead and bought irregardless, but rather begrudgingly. In America costs US $799 In...

    Carrier Iphone 8 and X on Cricket?

    If I buy an iphone 8, 8 plus or x outright without a carrier, will it work on cricket? I'm currently using a 5c on cricket. Thanks!

    iPhone 8/8 Plus/ X Camera Performance

    This discussion is related to the primary wide angle camera on the back of an iPhone. Not the telephoto lens. Not the front facing camera. Apple has been using the same sized sensor for the previous three generations of the iPhone, that is, the iPhone 6/6+, the iPhone 6S/6S+ and the iPhone...

    The iPhone X is cool BUT...

    I think the iPhone X is cool and good step forward but I think apple can make it much better next year including potentially a plus model and lower pricing. Hopefully next year they'll have the manufacturing process figured out better to allow for a quicker launch date. I would like to buy the X...

    iPhone shipping

    I preordered an 8 Plus and completed it at 12:02AM on preorder day. It gave me a ship to home date of 9/22. On the Apple Store app it says the same ship date of 9/22 via next day delivery with an “order in progress” status. Does this mean it won’t change to a shipped status until 9/21? Just...
