This phone has the same pedestrian design
Missing headphone jack and battery life as the iPhone 7 -- and no dual camera either. The iPhone 8 costs a bit more than baseline new iPhones in years past
And comes only in black
Silver and a new shade of gold
Speaker quality isn't amazing
No portrait mode or facial ID
Bezels are big in comparison to other recent phones
Water-resistance falls short of rivals
Portrait Lighting can be hit-or-miss
Can you handle iPhone X envy
Bezels look date
Fast wired charging costs extra
Modest improvements over the iPhone 7 make this year's update feel less significant
Particularly in comparison to the looming iPhone X. The iPhone 8 continues to lag behind its larger sibling for photography. Package still only includes the same 5W power
Extra glass causes durability concerns
Voicecall quality needs work
Fewer color options
Presence of more and more higherend iPhone models makes this one feel like a compromise

You'll need to make your own mind up about this one, since it's a refined smartphone but a lacklustre upgrade. Had Apple included a fast charger and maybe some form of wireless charging pad, it would have matched the 8/10 awarded to last year's iPhone 7 P...
Abstract: We've seen a barrage of DxOMark camera reviews in the past few weeks, as several high-end smartphones came out, all of them sporting top-of-the-line camera experience. First, the camera pros declared the iPhone 8 Plus to be the best smartphone camera they...

When all is said and done, the iPhone 8 betters the G6 in a few key areas like camera quality, battery life, basic storage, processing speed and LTE network compatibility. And it should, since it is the more expensive one, starting at $699, against the LG...

Abstract: Macworld's Leah Yamshon has a full review of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, but there's more iPhone news to talk about. There's a fix for the Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE. And Google held an event on Wednesday—what does it mean for Apple? These are the...

It's difficult to put a label on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. It's a definite update from 2016's iPhone 7—even though it looks almost exactly the same—but it's different enough that it doesn't deserve to be given an “S” naming scheme. To me, it feels more...

At this point, Apple and Samsung has assumed two competing, yet slightly differentiated positions. Apple is no longer trying to experiment with its mainstream offering; instead, it aims to bring the best of current technology in the most polished, mature...

The iPhone 8 (and, presumably, the iPhone 8 Plus) should be able to survive short drops onto certain surfaces, such as carpet and wood. We were especially impressed that the phone survived a 6-foot drop in our Dropbot without any real damage. However, the...
Abstract: Apple is at a fascinating crossroads. Its iPhone 8, out now worldwide, is easily the best smartphone the company has ever made. But it's not the iPhone most people want to buy. That's because in just about a month we'll see the release of the iPhone X, a...

The iPhone 8 represents a healthy update in key areas over last year's model, making it a reliable go-to phone with nearly all of the expected features. In fact, it has more power than it knows what to do with right now, which at least makes it feel futur...
