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...

Of all the iPhone releases in the decade following the 2007 original, the iPhone 8 has probably generated the least excitement . There's a very good reason for that: The iPhone X .

Speedy processor; Class-leading camera; Wireless charging; Slick software

Dated design; Fast charging costs extra

I have an iPhone 8 and a Samsung S7. The Samsung has a port or headset and another to charge that phone allowing me to charge the phone and listen to music simultaneously. The iPhone only has one port to charge the phone or listen to music. The Samsung has a back key. The iPhone does not.

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.

Small Size; Bright Display; Great Memory Storage; Super Fast Processor; Just Works; Great Single Lens Camera; Fast Updates; Waterproofing

No Expandable Storage; No Personalization Options; No Real Access to File System

Apple launched the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in September at the inaugural event held at the Steve Jobs theatre. Following Apple's previous naming schemes for the iPhone, there's an argument to suggest these devices should have been christened with the 7s moniker.

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.

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

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

"Familiarity breeds contempt," or so the old proverb goes, and never has that been more topical than for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. In any other year from the past decade, Apple's new smartphones would be the topic of endless fascination and discussion.

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

When the latest batch of new iPhones was presented, the iPhone X stole the show. But, the iPhone 8 is worth a closer look. While the successor to the iPhone 7 might not look all that different, it's packing some new features on the inside.

Excellent performance; Wireless charging; Great camera; Compact size

No headphone jack; Thick bezels; Battery life fluctuates

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.

The iPhone 8 is a bit unconventional. It was one of two new smartphone models announced by Apple earlier this month, with the other being Apple's most advanced smartphone ever, the iPhone X , and a clear indicator of where future smartphones are heading.

The best iPhone to date with wireless charging; a more powerful processor; better screen and camera
