Unboxed mine, and immediately put it back in the box. Camera was scratched to heck RIGHT OUT of the box! Oh heck no! (Sorry for the poor lighting.)

After some badgering by @mogelijk I scampered over to Verizon and traded it our before I couldn't get one today. All is well. Current one is in my truck while I eat dinner. Oh boy was I hangry.

The back of the silver is almost white which I love white phones. Slightly wish I would have gotten that, but I don’t like the silver sides.

Picked up silver 256gb from Best Buy earlier.. I was expecting it to be whiter but it’s more of a cement gray but that’s fine with me as I’ll be preordering the X in white just needed something to tie me over ;)

Ps as a long time user of Android and iPhone I’m so glad iPhone finally has wireless charging, easily favorite part!

My second iPhone... traded in my Rose Gold 64GB 6s for this stunning beauty, 256GB Gold iPhone 8 Plus. Apologies for the photo, took it with my iPad.

Not to burst your bubble, but the X is the exact same silver it's not white. It definitely looks white in all the event videos from last week though. Even I was calling it white until someone corrected me that yeah it's silver.

I’ll be honest. I’m very underwhelmed. I’ll likely be returning. This one is very heavy. Found out it’s 10% heavier than 7 plus.

iPhone 8+ Unboxing & Show Off New Phone Thread


Yikes!!!! That totally validated my decision to get the 8.

It's something like 7.5%, actually. I don't think most people could tell, at least without holding both phones at the same time -- and even then I don't think many would notice a difference.

Whether it’s 7.5% or 10%, that’s a lot when you carry 2 phones. I was carrying a 6S Plus & a 7 Plus & although I love the screen, they just became too cumbersome. Loving my 8 & I’m sure it’ll be a perfect combo with the X, since it also had a smaller form factor.

I could tell right away. That’s why I looked it up. On a smart phone, every bit it noticeable. 7 plus is 6.63 oz and iPhone 8 plus is 7.13 Oz.

If you have a 7 plus, not sure it’s worth the money. I’m definitely going X. iPhone 8 plus will not be my phone for the next year.

7.13 oz! That’s almost 1/2 a pound! Da hell

Don’t jump in a lake with this phone. You will go straight to the bottom. My s8 plus that is 6.2” is just 6.1 oz. 1 full ounce less than the 8 plus. And trust me, that 1 single ounce is very noticeable. Especially when holding the phone up a lot.
