“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?

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.

If you own an iPhone 7, or maybe even an iPhone 6S, then the jump to the iPhone 8 is not a big one. Sure, the performance is a bit better and there is wireless charging, but that's about it. The jumps in the remaining features are not very big.

Excellent performance, Wireless charging, Great camera, Compact size

No headphone jack, Thick bezels, Battery life fluctuates

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 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

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.

Overshadowed by the iPhone X.

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.

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?
