You'll need to make your own mind up about this one, since it's a refined smartphone but a lacklustre upgrade. Had Apple included a fast charger and maybe some form of wireless charging pad, it would have matched the 8/10 awarded to last year’s iPhone 7 Plus.

The iPhone 8 has a new glass design offering wireless charging. It's faster than ever, thanks to the new A11 Bionic chip, and now comes with 64GB of memory as standard. iOS 11 also brings some cool new features including augmented reality.

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Apple's best smartphone already feels outdated

Don't let the iPhone 8 name fool you – this is very much the iPhone 7S, an incremental upgrade on the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 with a few additions here and there, but nothing to really wow you next to other smartphones in 2018.

Wireless charging is useful; Glass rear is pleasing in the hand; Camera is great at point-and-shoot

Limited upgrade over iPhone 7; Bezel-heavy design looks dated; Battery only just lasts a day

Apple might have phoned in the design again, but an improved power supply, wireless charging and a cracking camera save it. But is it worth £700

24-hour-plus battery; great camera; wireless charging; fingerprint scanner; water resistant

2014 design; boring; large bezels around the screen; no headphone jack; no fast-charger in the box; expensive

The iPhone 8, at $699 and $849, suffers from one major problem: the iPhone 7 is now $549. And the 8 just isn't $150 better - yet. The major improvements here are wireless charging, which I still think is basically a curiosity, and the A11 processor.

Wireless charging; Powerful new processor

Lacks the latest modem features and bands; Single camera is a disadvantage for AR; Not a huge upgrade over last year's model, which is still available

X marks the spot for Apple’s future, but the iPhone 8 is a safer – and surprisingly impressive – option

Blazingly fast, Camera borders on excellent, Great build that feels solid, Speakers are surprisingly good

Pricey, Design is effectively four years old, Camera bump still irks, No headphone port

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.

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

It is safe to say that "bendgate" will follow any new Apple iPhone these days and JerryRigEverything did just that to the Apple iPhone 8 . Surprisingly, it survives this very well but you can see how it fares under the bend test and scratch and burn durability tests as well for yourself below.
