Samsung Galaxy Note 20’s chipset might not be that bad after all

With the Galaxy Note 20 launch just a week away, all eyes will be on what upgrades Samsung brings to the table. While the chipset might remain unchanged, there might be a silver lining. While Samsung flagship like the Note series and the S series are powered by Snapdragon chipsets in the US and European markets, they come with Exynos chipset in Asian markets such as India. It often tends to lose out on the performance front against Qualcomm Snapdragon counterparts. However, a new leak suggests some good news in this regard.

iPhone 8 has been discontinued now the new iPhone SE is here

iPhone 8 has been discontinued now the new iPhone SE is here

It’s had a good run, but after launching in September 2017 the iPhone 8 has been discontinued by Apple, with the new iPhone SE taking its place in Apple’s lineup.

That means you can’t buy the iPhone 8 from Apple anymore, and while some other retailers may still stock it, they won’t get any new units in. So once those are gone it will be pre-owned/renewed stock or nothing.

While it might have been nice to see the iPhone 8’s price dropped instead, to make it a super cheap option, that was never likely, and for most people the new iPhone SE will be the better buy now anyway. With a starting price of just $399 / £419 / AU$749 it’s even cheaper than the $449 / £479 / AU$779 starting price of the iPhone 8, and it has a newer chipset and otherwise similar specs and features.

There's some hope for the iPhone 8 Plus

What might bother people a bit more is that Apple has also stopped selling the iPhone 8 Plus. This has a larger 5.5-inch screen than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE 2020, and with no iPhone SE Plus there’s no direct alternative to opt for instead. The closest option would be the 6.1-inch iPhone XR, but that’s a fair bit more expensive.

However, for the time being at least it still shouldn’t be too tricky to get an iPhone 8 Plus, as while Apple itself has stopped selling the phone, it’s still going to offer the handset through other retailers according to Rene Ritchie (a tech blogger and YouTuber).

How long that will remain the case for though is unclear, so if you want an iPhone 8 Plus you should probably buy one sooner rather than later.
