The iPhone 8 is small, compact, powerful, and will deliver a perfect phone experience for many, especially those that aren’t fussed with all the latest and greatest features, new design and the costs associated with them.

Small size has added appeal in among typically larger phones, Wireless charging thanks to new glass back design, Dust- and water-resistant, Powerful innards

Lacks iPhone 8 Plus' camera skills, Need separate cable for Quick Charge, Glass makes it prone to drop damage, The familiar design looks dated

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

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.

It’s an iPhone so you know what to expect. It has a decent screen, the cameras are very clear, battery life is good and wireless charging is a bonus. Very pleased with it.

Only gripe is the lack of a dedicated earphone socket. I know wireless is the way forward but I would prefer to have one.

Sensational performance in an intuitive, fool-proof package. Simply brilliant Gorgeous design fantastic interface excellent sound and picture quality fine iTunes software As a media device, you can’t fault it

The iPhone 8 is the best iPhone released to date because it has much better battery life, an improved camera and wireless charging – but it’s inherently boring. It has glass on the back, sure, but even without sticking it in a case it’s difficult to tell for the casual observer.

Pros: 24-hour-plus battery, great camera, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner, water resistant

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

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 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 (Rs64,000 (64 GB); Rs77,000 (256 GB)) and iPhone 8 Plus (Rs73,000 (64 GB); Rs86,000 (256 GB)) have retained a lot of the design language from the predecessors, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
