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
Large bezels look dated
Fast charging costs extra
Difficult to get excited about
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
A11 Bionic processor is super fast, Wireless charging works great with the proper accessory, A11 Bionic processor is super fast, Wireless charging works great with the proper accessory, Awesome camera
It's not a very innovative release, Glass back gets smudged pretty easily, It's not a very innovative release, Glass back gets smudged pretty easily, Although it's in beta, Portrait Lighting needs some work
It's difficult to put a label on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. It's a definite update from 2016's iPhone 7—even though it looks almost exactly the same—but it's different enough that it doesn't deserve to be given an “S” naming scheme. To me, it feels more...
Backed by Apple's superior hardware and software ecosystem, Best ever performance, Illegaly good speakers and earphones, Exciting, trendsetting design, More versatile camera, Higher screen resolution
At this point, Apple and Samsung has assumed two competing, yet slightly differentiated positions. Apple is no longer trying to experiment with its mainstream offering; instead, it aims to bring the best of current technology in the most polished, mature...

Michael A. Prospero is the reviews editor at Laptop Mag and Tom’s Guide. When he’s not testing out the latest running watc, skiing or training for a maratho, he’s probably using the latest kitchen gadget
The iPhone 8 (and, presumably, the iPhone 8 Plus) should be able to survive short drops onto certain surfaces, such as carpet and wood. We were especially impressed that the phone survived a 6-foot drop in our Dropbot without any real damage. However, the...
Abstract: Apple is at a fascinating crossroads. Its iPhone 8, out now worldwide, is easily the best smartphone the company has ever made. But it's not the iPhone most people want to buy. That's because in just about a month we'll see the release of the iPhone X, a...

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...
Abstract: When you hold the iPhone 8, you won't find much about it that's different from the iPhone 7, even with its all-glass body. It's slightly heavier and bigger, but not significantly. The iOS 11 also looks and acts like the iOS 10 on the iPhone 7. In addition...

Abstract: Apple makes just enough changes to each iPhone every year to make the upgrade seem compelling. This year, it's all about wireless charging. But iPhone fans have another tough decision to make: The much improved iPhone X with a more colorful screen debuts...

Abstract: The iPhone 8 is a successful execution of a familiar idea. From the outside, it appears the very definition of an iterative upgrade, and with the bleeding-edge iPhone X on the horizon and scads of Android phones that have had similar features for years, t...

Wireless charging is convenient, Camera is excellent, A11 Bionic processor is fast, Battery life is solid
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
