Hi Carl, I have a 6S Plus so I’m very much in the same position as you with your 6S. I am still very satisfied with the speed of my 6S Plus, yes, of course the A11 Bionic will be a lot faster than the A9, but if that is really that noticeable with what I do is questionable. The same goes for the camera, I do believe the 8 also has optical image stabilization now, but for OCR and object recognition etc. the 6S/6S Plus also work great. I decided to definitely wait this one out, my guess is that next year all iPhones will have OLED screens and Face Id so where you would pay a pretty steep premium for this now, next year you may not. If you now have an off-contract phone then why not try and go to a provider if you have them in South Africa where you can maybe save a bit each months, here in Canada we don’t have as much choice as in the US or in many european countries, but since I am not on contract any more, I was able to find a $49/months plan which gives me unlimited calls and texts across Canada and 6 Gb of data. Before when I was under contract I paid $30 more for unlimited calls/texts but with only 3 Gb of data. $30 over one year is $360 which I will save in just that one year that I am keeping my 6S Plus.

I’m firstly considering the Iphone 8 vs the 8+, of which the better reported battery life and larger screen work area (I also type a lot onscreen), are cons for the +, but smaller pocket size and cheaper price are cons for the 8. I think the cameras are the same between the two so for youtube video making and OCR work they should be identical, but I have the following questions: Do both 8 and 8+ have optical image stabilization? Do both 8 and 8+ have stereo speakers, and do you think they would sound exactly the same (listening to audio books and youtube very important for better sound on phone speakers)? And are there any other worth while mentioning differences between the two? And lastly, I think the X would be everyone’s dream phone, but I already hear production is low and they may not ship enough units by 5 Nov to U.S., thus to South Africa will probably take another million years, plus cost, at $1000 starting, by the time South Africa gets it it will cost excessively more than the 8 and 8+. Wondering if worth waiting vs the price. Do any of you have your 8 or 8+ yet, and what are your thoughts on the phone speed, feel, speakers, battery, etc. Thanks / Regards Carl de Campos SQL DBA Business Connection Cell: 0614184262 E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> “Check out my Youtube channel where I review Some Assistive Tech, interview other blind achievers, trains, out-door and more to follow”” https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6pgDobJut1AxNypVAOcqg -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
