Solid updates to both of Apple's standard iPhone models offer the same horsepower as Apple's upcoming iPhone X in a proven and familiar form factor. New allglass design brings back some of the “museumquality” elegance of the iPhone 4 era. Virtually identi

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
Great camera, Decent battery life, Ergonomic design
Large bezels look dated, Fast charging costs extra, Difficult to get excited about
The iPhone 8 is an excellent smartphone. The battery life is decent, the camera improved, and the addition of wireless charging adds convenience.We like the glass-backed design as well, and, thanks to the small screen it's one of the most ergonomic phones...

This is a tough comparison for Apple.The S8 has a much bigger screen (5.8 in to 4.7in) in a body that's only a little bulkier (10mm longer, 1mm wider, 7g heavier) because it has far thinner bezels; that screen also includes a built-in Home button and a ma...

Very powerful, Premium build, Wireless charging
Weak battery, Dated design, Not much of an upgrade
“The iPhone 8 takes everything good about the iPhone 7 and builds on it, just not by as much as we'd have liked. It's a great compact phone, but expensive for what you get.”Best Apple iPhone 8 dealsTop DealApple iPhone 8 12GB for the price of 4GB.12GB dat...
There are some great things about the iPhone 8 including the addition of wireless charging, 64GB storage as standard and a fast A11 Bionic processor. However, this all comes at a higher price and everything else is largely the same so we can't imagine or...

Wireless charging is useful, Glass rear is pleasing in the hand, Camera is great at point-and-shoot
Limited upgrade over iPhone 7, Bezel-heavy design looks dated, Battery only just lasts a day
Don't let the iPhone 8 name fool you – this is very much the iPhone 7S, an incremental upgrade on 2016's 4.7-inch iPhone 7 with a few additions here and there, but nothing to really wow...

24hourplus battery, great camera, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner, water resistant
2014 design, boring, large bezels around the screen, no headphone jack, no fastcharger in the box, expensive
The iPhone 8 is the best iPhone released to date because it has much better battery life, an improved camera and wireless charging – but it's inherently boring. It has glass on the back, sure, but even without sticking it in a case it's difficult to tell...
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...
If you still love your iPhone 6 or 6S and you want to upgrade without spending too much, or you want a smaller phone without compromising on power, then the iPhone 8 is going to tick all your boxes. But if you want the best iPhone, wait for the iPhone X...
