Too Expensive
Boring Design
Squiffy Performance
Average Battery Life
Weak battery

Not much of an upgrade
Battery life could be better

Limited upgrade over iPhone 7
Bezel-heavy design looks dated

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
Unbeatable performance, Greatsounding speakers, Effortlessly beautiful camera, Wireless fast charging support, Very welcome baselevel storage boost
Extra glass causes durability concerns, Voicecall quality needs work, Fewer color options, Presence of more and more higherend iPhone models makes this one feel like a compromise
In a lot respects, the iPhone 8 should feel like a slam dunk: it takes the already winning formula of the iPhone 7, delivers a handful of solid upgrades, and even implements some all-new features. And if we're looking at the phone on its own, it's hard to...

high build quality, True Tone display, fast SoC, great camera, accurate GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, high Wi-Fi performance, many LTE bands, water and dust protection
storage cannot be expanded, only 12 months warranty, no stereo jack, only average speakers, display resolution could be higher, heavier than the predecessor, very limited NFC functionality
Abstract: Today's the day that the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are in stores across the world. The iPhone 8 isn't the exciting new Apple product this fall — that honor is reserved for the forthcoming iPhone X — but it is the new, mainstream iPhone that millions...

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
Some exposure issues in low light, Visible noise in low-light conditions
While we haven't retested every smartphone using our new protocols, we have retested some of the best, and the Apple iPhone 8 improves over all of them, including the Google Pixel and the HTC U11 — the two best performers until now. Apple has brought some...

Impeccable performance, Great build quality, Excellent camera, Wireless charging works well, Early AR apps are very impressive
Design will be too familiar for some, No dual camera, The camera humps are back, Not as water resistant as its competitors
Chris Velazco/EngadgetWhen I first picked up the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, I immediately decided they were actually just the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. I was wrong: They're definitely much more than that. They're just saddled with a less exciting design. If you su...
Excellent design and glass back, Wireless charging, finally, Powerful A11 Bionic CPU offers unprecedented performance, Better Portrait photography
Smaller model still has no dual camera

Abstract: You have to feel a little sorry for anyone who has been burning the midnight oil working on the iPhone 8/Plus. A new iPhone would normally be getting a huge amount of attention, but in this case the device has been completely over-shadowed by the iPhone...

The iPhone 8 is a good phone, but we gave it 8 out of 10 stars in our review for a reason, compared to 9 out of 10 for the iPhone 8 Plus.The Plus gives you a bigger and sharper screen for work and play, as well as for enjoying a new breed of augmented rea...
