I don't really get why the M8 is remembered so fondly but the M7 isn't.

Is it just that way more people bought the M8? The M7 was truly innovative and the M8 was only a small iteration on top.

Plus the M7 had a nicer aluminum unibody. The M8 had plastic on the front. Still handsome, but not the same level of gorgeous macbook-style design the M7 had. Fuck, I'd rock an M7 today if they trimmed the glass bezel down, removed the hardware nav buttons, and tossed in some new hardware.

Couldn't agree more. I forgot to mention that the M7 also just looked better.

The M7 had that camera problem didn't it?

[–] OriginalUsername7@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yup, think it was pretty common too. Mine had it, all the photos would come out purple.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Maybe everything was just purple then.

Loved the phone. Hated the camera.

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I think so. My partner, a couple friends and I all had them and none of us had the issue though.

I remember my m8 had so many problems in the first week I had to exchange. I hardly remember what that phone was like..
