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

Impeccable performance
Great build quality
Excellent camera
Wireless charging works well
Early AR apps are very impressive
Very good stabilization
Best exposure of any Apple device
But still not industry-leading
Very good color rendering under almost all lighting condtions
Good face tracking in bright light
The editors didn't like
Not the fastest LTE connections
Still a relatively low-res screen with big bezel for this price category
It's not a very innovative release
Glass back gets smudged pretty easily
Although it's in beta
Portrait Lighting needs some work
No fast charger in the box
Plenty of bezels on the front
Portrait Lighting mode needs work
Same design might bore some users
Glass back means it is more fragile (no matter how strong they claim it to be)
Dated design. Lacks some of the extra iPhone X camera features. Large body makes it hard to hold
No HDR display
Still pricey
Battery life continues to suffer
Not the most durable
Worn and dated design
Flagship pricing
But not Apple's crown jewel for 2017
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
The Apple iPhone 8 Plus is a decent phone. Its battery life is good, the cameras are (still) impressive and wireless charging is a nice touch even if it does come years behind its Android rivals. But it's not the best you can buy.Its blinding speed is a m...
They might not come with Animojis but there's a lot to love about Apple's more affordable new iPhones.There's no edge-to-edge screen or Face ID, either, but opposable thumbs are one of the things that set humans apart from the animals, so it's worth keepi...

The iPhone XR and 8 Plus are similarly priced, similarly equipped phones. The XR ditches the home button for a notch and Face ID and comes in six eye catching colours. Its screen is larger and taller than the 8 Plus, too.But you might prefer the design an...
the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus represents a significant step forward over the iPhone 7 range. Image quality is better, contrast is better, shots have more detail, low-light performance is better. Basically, everything is better. And this effect is compo...

Wireless charging, Duallens camera with Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting, A11 processor, cheaper than iPhone X
Mostly the same visual design as iPhone 6 Plus, Bulky

Power and speed that still impresses, Wireless charging, Fast charging, Great cameras when used properly
Still very large, Dated design, Portrait Lighting can be hit and miss, Glass breaks easily
As a successor to the iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 8 Plus is a logical step-up that delivers a faster experience in a new and somewhat improved shell. Wireless charging, improved cameras and the True Tone screen are all positive new features.Although higher-...

The XS is a better phone - make no mistake about that. But is it better by a big enough margin to justify the £300/$300 premium you're paying on top of the 8 Plus's (already fairly high) price tag? That depends on what you need from your handset.The bigge...

The iPhone XS Max is very expensive but a very desirable phone. It has the biggest screen ever on an iPhone with a slim design that is physically smaller than the overall size of the iPhone 8 Plus.But if you aren't bothered about animoji and Face ID and w...

Mostly the same visual design as iPhone 6 Plus, Bulky
The iPhone X got all the headlines but in many ways the iPhone 8 Plus is a more appealing upgrade.You get many of the X's features: wireless charging (thanks to the glass back), which is convenient and fun, albeit a little slower than charging with the bu...
