Apple iPhone 8 Smartphone Review

The iPhone 8 might be the last of its kind, the last Apple smartphone with a home button and IPS display. If this is the case, the Americans at least gave us a very good final chapter. We once again miss major new features or innovations, but the iPhone 8 still beats its predecessor in many regards.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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

Apple iPhone 8

The iPhone 8 has plenty of power under the hood, but lacks the extra camera features and design upgrade of the better iPhone 8 Plus and X.
Pros:
  • The iPhone 8 offers wireless charging, lightning-fast performance and small but solid upgrades to its camera, screen and speakers
  • Its starting storage size is a roomy 64GB, double that of the iPhone 7
Cons:
  • 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

The status quo upgrade

Apple iPhone 8 review

It's interesting how Apple will proceed from now on. Will it go back to the familiar pair of a regular and plus model, or will the iPhone X spawn a whole new line of iPhones The Apple reboot

Apple iPhone 8 review: Small, simple, powerful, delightful

Apple products are polarising by nature. You want them or you hate them, and if you're ambivalent, it's usually because you don't care too much about the technology you use.

Probably the last best iPhone

Probably the last great true iPhone. Until Apple fixes the mess that is the gesture based controls on their new all screen iPhone and removes that ugly notch, I am afraid that the days of great iPhones are over.
Pros:
  • Small Size
  • Bright Display
  • Great Memory Storage
  • Super Fast Processor
  • Just Works
  • Great Single Lens Camera
  • Fast Updates
  • Waterproofing
Cons:
  • No Expandable Storage
  • No Personalization Options
  • No Real Access to File System

Apple iPhone 8 review: Still a powerful choice

Compared to the iPhone 7, the iPhone 8 brings minimal upgrades. But compared to the iPhone 6/6S, wow, you'll be very pleased with the jump forward - particularly if you're seeking a familiar and compact phone.
Pros:
  • Small size has added appeal in among typically larger phones
  • Wireless charging thanks to new glass back design
  • Dust- and water-resistant
  • Powerful innards
Cons:
  • Lacks iPhone 8 Plus' camera skills
  • Need separate cable for Quick Charge
  • Glass makes it prone to drop damage
  • The familiar design looks dated

Quality always shines

Having owned iPhones before and not long having the iPhone 7 it was time to see what apple had done to the iPhone 8.I was not disappointed straight away you could feel and see the difference the glass back gives the phone a feeling of a presence in your hand it's a very quick device in loading apps...

This product is not so good

I have had static on the phone since it was purchased. I went from Samsung to IPhone. Bad idea! I heard good things about IPhone but it has not been so good for me! I absolutely Do Not Like this IPhone. I hear static every time I talk on the phone.
