What are some things about the iPhone 8 plus?

I've been trying to convince my mom to get me the iPhone 8 plus (she s getting me the 7 plus which is fine and I'm just glad I'm getting a new phone tbh, but I would much rather get the 8 plus though. Sorry if I sound like ungrateful or something, I really am glad she even considered buying me a new phone!). Are there any downsides to the 8 plus? Is the 7 plus better than the 8 plus? I'm kind of new to iPhones though, I've used only samsung (It kind of sucks but only b/c it was an older model).

Run, don't walk to the nearest store that sells both the 7plus and the 8plus, pick up the demo units if both phones and compare them in your hands, feature to feature. Earn the money to pay the difference for the 8plus Only if it has features that YOU will use daily, that the 7plus does not have.

That way your mom is not paying any more than she was offering to pay. Or forget the 8plus, and save your WANTS, until you move out and are paying your own bills.

The 5 is better

You could have just gone to the Apple website and compared the two

I guess the only downside (expected) is that it costs more. Aside from that, the 8 Plus has the advantage.

Save yourself a tonne of money go with samsung or an android.

Going to an iphone is a downgrade youll have more issues plus youll be paying more.
