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
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...

Abstract: As the iPhone 8 goes on sale, questions remain over the demand for Apple's latest offering following smaller crowds outside stores and a muted customer reaction.The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, two of the three new iPhones in Apple's 2017 lineup, went on sale aro...
On paper the iPhone 8 represents the usual refinement to the model that came before. In essence it's an iPhone 7S, but with Samsung now up to the S8 we think Apple didn't want to be left behind in the name game.The design is very similar to the iPhone 7...
Fast processor, Great cameras, Superb image processing, Wireless charging, Excellent operating system, Countless apps
Design might become dated, They're not the iPhone X
The real problem here is that both these phones have a large iPhone X-shaped shadow falling on them, promising the future as loudly as the first iPhone did ten years ago. But to be honest, that's their worst failing.These are both excellent phones, with t...
LG has made up for its misstep last year that was the peculiar G5, returning with a device that is classy, well thought out, and a genuine pleasure to use.The omission of wireless charging is disappointing, and using last year's CPU raises a few questions...
If you haven't decided based on price or operating system, this is quite a tricky choice. While the Xperia XZ1 offers HDR and 960fps slo-mo video, the iPhone 8 has wireless charging and the option of dual camera. It's too close to call really, but audioph...
Abstract: The big question is what are they all saying? Normally a “prime” new number iPhone year would see that number being Apple's flagship phone. But the iPhone 8 takes a second place seat next to the iPhone X, which will launch this November. Will that have an...

The sensible, speedy iPhone 8 makes a nice upgrade to the iPhone 6S and earlier siblings, but we won't know until November how it compares to the much pricier iPhone X...
