Rating
Expensive
Disappointing battery life
No 3.5mm headphone jack
Same design for fourth year in a row
Only available in three colours
Misses out on Portrait Mode effects
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
Lacks iPhone 8 Plus' camera skills
Need separate cable for Quick Charge
Glass makes it prone to drop damage
Familiar design might look dated the second iPhone X launches
The familiar design looks dated

2014 design
Boring
Large bezels around the screen
No headphone jack
No fastcharger in the box
Design might become dated
They're not the iPhone X
Battery life
Although improved
Remains average
Lacks the dual camera sensors of its bigger brother
So you can't take shots in Portrait Mode
There's no way of expanding the storage with a MicroSD card slot for example
If you've bought the smaller 64GB handset and used all of that space
Camera feels mediocore by Apple's standards, Expensive
At the end of the day, it feels like the biggest competition that the iPhone 8 is going to face comes in the form of Apple's other iPhones. On a purely technical level, the iPhone 8 impresses. However, it feels like there's a degree of mental gymnastics i...
Abstract: Cameras on the iPhones have been one of the USPs of the device for a while now. Time and again the cameras on the iPhones have pretty much been the benchmark for other devices, and there is a reason why: they take great pictures. So great that we have see...
The iPhone 8 is just as impressive and just as disappointing as we've been expecting it to be. What frustrates me with the device is that even if Apple went with the same, three-year old design, it could have put in a lot more effort into the features an...
Abstract: Reviews are a mad world. You could run all the benchmarks you want. You could sell the idea of openness, value for money, practicality and everything under the sun. But there's experience, the most subjective of metrics and the single most influential one...
Fast Processor, Superb battery life, World Class Camera, Wireless Charging, Portrait Lighting (for the 8 Plus), Improved stereo speakers
Dated design, No headphone jack, Glass Back Prone To Scratches, Not the iPhone X
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus start at Rs 64,000 and Rs 73,000 respectively and if you are currently looking to upgrade from the iPhone 6/6S, then an upgrade is a no-brainer. Even though the two smartphones have incremental changes, it's not necessary a bad thi...

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...
Wrapping it upSo, is this how they planned it or did it just happen that way? With a full number instead of an S model and three phones instead of two, Apple has pushed the fast-forward button all the way down.In the beginning of this review, we argued th...
The iPhone 8 comes in two storage variants 64GB and 256GB, which are priced at Rs 64,000 and Rs 77,000. A price point where it has stiff competition from the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8 and HTC U11. But, the main question about the latest iPhones is that w...
