A comment on iPhone 8.

The memory is finally enough even on the base model (64/256). I know a couple people who bought the lowest before (16gb) and it was painful. They'd actually swap apps in and out.

Solid upgrade. I'll hang onto my 6s and my wired headphone ways a bit longer though.

I'd argue that 64GB is not enough. I was surprised to see that level of memory.

I imagine 4K video at 60fps would eat up a lot of that 64GB.

4k video using hevc actually helps cut size down a lot. 64 is still not very much but should be good enough for most people, especially if they rely on icloud.

10mbps (rough guess at the bitrate) would be close to 5GB per hour (once you factor in audio).
