2019-09-14
The first reviews of Apple\'s new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are rolling out one after another, and critics seem happy --
Even if they are not completely dizzy.
While most people like the new camera, some commenters have encountered errors in the lighting of the new portrait mode, which is still in the testing phase.
The new speakers also won applause, and Apple\'s super-fast A11 Bionic CPU won applause.
However, most people are not excited about the aging design of smartphones and the LCD screen, as they are not supported compared to what you get in the flagship Android device and the upcoming iPhone X.
Will the IPhone 8 and 8 Plus phones be something you\'ll love, or will you regret when the iPhone X makes its debut in a few months?
That\'s what critics say.
