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

Abstract: The annual Apple iPhone update is always a hotly anticipated event, and this year was no different – bringing new, fully numbered mainline smartphone updates in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as an overhauled, higher-spec, 10th anniversary-celebr...

Very powerful, Premium build, Good dual-lens camera
Dated design, Few new features, Middling battery
“The iPhone 8 Plus is the best big screen iPhone you can get - at least until the iPhone X lands. A new design and better battery would have made it near perfect, but it's still a very good, very powerful phone.”Best Apple iPhone 8 Plus dealsTop DealApple...
Great screen, Superb dual-lens cameras, Solid performance, Good build quality, Strong battery life,
Large, dated design, No headphone jack,
There's no doubt the iPhone 8 Plus borrows a lot of its big ideas from last year's 7 Plus. However, it puts in the legwork, with a few new ideas, to make the whole experience better all round.That means an improved screen, one of the best cameras we've te...

Unbelievably fast, Excellent camera, Wireless charging is welcome
Looking aged versus rivals, No mobile HDR, The iPhone X is coming
The main question is whether you should buy this phone or wait for the incoming iPhone X. The greatest question of the next month! Our take is that you should only wait for the iPhone X if you can embrace change.Most people can't, which is why we bring it...
The iPhone 8 Plus is a hard phone to recommend. Sure, it's powerful, but so is every other flagship - and with a dated design and huge body, the 8 Plus is lagging behind. Throw in the fact that the wireless charging is slow, the fast wired charging costs...

32hour battery life, great dualcamera system, water resistant, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner
bad 2014 design, no headphone jack, no fast charger in the box, expensive, massive bezels, too wide to comfortably hold, heavy
The iPhone 8 Plus is a big, chunky phablet that stands out like a sore thumb in the crowded marketplace filled with sleeker rivals. It's massive, and not in a good way, in an era where a big screen doesn't have to mean a big phone. That design was ok in 2...
Wireless charging is useful, Glass back feels premium, Dual camera is powerful
Dated design, No mobile HDR, Battery life average
A solid iPhone, but a clear evolution from previous Plus models. Compared to the iPhone X it's unexciting, but it offers the far better experience over the iPhone 8...

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
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), the A11 Bionic chip, Portrait Lighting. And you don't lose the Home button...

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...

Bright, sharp screen, Class-leading cameras, Lightning fast performance, Top build quality, Solid battery life
Bulky, dated design, Expensive, Lack of headphone jack still annoying
When the Plus model first launched as the chunky sibling to the iPhone 6, it felt like a bit of an also ran – a bigger, bulkier iPhone but with little else to offer. Now it feels like the iPhone in the family to buy. Yes, the design is still as cumbersom...
