Apple has announced three handsets in 2018: Apple iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. So which flagship should you choose? Here is our top reasons why you should buy an Apple iPhone, instead of iPhone X!
1. The big price difference:
Price is always the most important factors you have to consider. Firstly, Apple iPhone X specs sport a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED. Furthermore, this Apple handset takes power from an Apple A11 Bionic chipset and 3GB RAM. For the storage, it offers two variants: 64GB/256GB. How about the price? Apple iPhone X price begins at $1,000 (Rs.64,165). Very expensive in compared to other Apple flagships.
On the other hand, Apple iPhone 8 specs include a 4.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD (750 x 1334 pixels). Under the hood, iPhone 8 runs on an Apple A11 Bionic chipset. Regarding the storage, Apple iPhone 8 has 64G/256GB, 2GB RAM. As for the cost, Apple iPhone 8 price starts at $700 (Rs.44,892). You can save up to $200 by choosing the iPhone 8, which has similar specs in storage and processor as the iPhone X.
2. Touch ID is still better than Face ID:
One of the most famous features of Apple iPhone X is the FaceID. With the ability to recognising your face in most situations like in the dark or with hats/glass, FaceID is a great feature. However, when talking about reliability, Touch ID is a better option. Apple has begun to implement the Touch ID on their iPhone since the iPhone 5S. Until now, this security method has evolved in many ways. To put it simply, Touch ID isn’t just for unlocking your handset. iPhone users now can use it for storing passwords, downloading apps and even paying for goods via Apple Pay.
3. Similar cameras set up:
In reality, one of the duo – Apple iPhone 8 Plus sports a similar camera set up to Apple iPhone X. Apple iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X camera sports a Dual 12MP (f/1.8, 28mm, OIS) + 12MP (f/2.8, 57mm) primary snapper. Additional, there are also other features like phase detection autofocus, 2x optical zoom check quality. While iPhone 8 rear camera is a great setup, iPhone 8 Plus is better with a second telephoto lens. With this configuration, you can zoom in the photos without losing the image quality. The only difference between the rear cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X is that the X handset has optical image stabilisation for both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. The iPhone 8 Plus only has OIS for wide angle lens, like the iPhone 7 Plus. Regarding the selfie shooter, both Apple handsets have 7MP (f/2.2, 32mm) lens.
4. Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus support fast and wireless charging:
Similar to Apple iPhone X, both iPhone 8 and 8 Plus support the Qi wireless-charging standard as well as quick charging. On the other hand, you still have to buy extra accessories to use this feature. Additionally, Apple now offers many options for Qi wireless charge pads. Furthermore, you will need to buy a Lightning-to-USB-C cable and USB-C Power Delivery-compatible charger. These gadgets might cost you around $25-$75. Next year, you can also purchase Apple AirPower pad.
