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

The iPhone 8 might look like a bargain but bear in mind that you're buying a phone that's already two years old. We recommend only buying this model if you're tight on budget, or you genuinely want a much smaller screen and can't imagine life without Touc...

Same design for fourth year in a row, Only available in three colours, Misses out on Portrait Mode effects
The iPhone 8 is an attractive, sleek smartphone. Back in 2017 the A11 Bionic chipset provided the highest benchmark scores we'd ever seen, leaving Android rivals in the dirt, and the low-light camera performance was a marked improvement on the iPhone 7. T...

Unless you need to save money and buy the iPhone 8, then you're choice here is largely down to the screen.If you like the modern bezel-free design of the iPhone XR with its notch and Face ID then you're all good. It also has the advantage of a newer proce...

The iPhone XS is a lot more expensive than the 8 so you need a lot of reasons to upgrade or choose it out of the two.What you get is the modern bezel-free design with a large screen that also offers better tech. There's also a newer A12 processor, a secon...
It's plain to see – the iPhone XR marks a sizeable upgrade to the iPhone 8 in more than a few categories. From its A12 Bionic chip to its larger screen and longer-lasting battery life, the iPhone XR is the better phone. Although, that is to be expected.Bu...
Same design for fourth year in a row, Only available in three colours, Misses out on Portrait Mode effects
The iPhone 8 is a gorgeous, sleek and incredibly powerful smartphone, there's no doubt about it. The A11 Bionic chipset provided the highest benchmark scores ever, leaving Android rivals in the dirt, and the low-light camera performance is a marked improv...
With both devices currently selling for around the same price, it's hard not to hanker after the modern, curvy Xperia XZ3. The display is a huge differentiator, with lush colours and pin-sharp rendering.iPhone fans will find much to enjoy with the 8, but...
Abstract: It’s simple enough – today’s smartphones are too large for some. While bezels on smartphones have shrunk over the past few years (meaning bigger screens), it hasn’t stopped the general growth of smartphone dimensions.Compact phones weigh less, are easy to...

The iPhone 8 is nearly a year old and will be replaced soon - and to be honest, its design is so hidebound that it looked old when it came out. This is the iPhone of 2014 given new components and wireless charging, and it looks particularly fuddy-duddy co...
The iPhone 8 is a true refinement of the design that began back with the iPhone 6. As such it presents the pinnacle of this particular layout, with wireless charging a solid addition to the already tried-and-tested construction. It's fast, powerful, and r...
