Went away from apple to samsung... but now I’m back. Great phone but debating if I should’ve got the 8plus for size although still hard to justify price ... after having the smasung 8plus... it was quite the size difference. Still happy with Apples easy useability.

I bought this very recently. Such an easy up grade treat for myself a blind old bat. Haha. After using iPads since 2012 this is great addition. I am so glad it tells me who is ringing me on each call. The ability to make texts bigger & bolder is fab too. Really happy lady

PROS: 1: FAST, Smooth operating system. 2: Stylish Glass Back & Wireless Charging. 3: Fantastic Front & Rear Camera. 4: The NEW Vibrating Button Design feels great under your finger ... ( & i really didn't think id like the new design idea but i love it ) 5: Waterproof.

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.

“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?

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 argue that it's not pretty successful.

Unbeatable performance, Great-sounding speakers, Effortlessly beautiful camera, Wireless + fast charging support, Very welcome base-level storage boost

Extra glass causes durability concerns, Fewer color options, Presence of more and more higher-end iPhone models makes this one feel like a compromise

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

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.

“The iPhone 8 hits some high notes, but it’s overshadowed by the iPhone X.”

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?
