Way before its September announcement and October release date, the iPhone 8 has been the talk of the tech industry pretty much the day after the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus was launched. Such is the state of the smartphone industry that there's barely a moments rest to enjoy the newly released units before...

A lot of people might be holding out for the iPhone X before considering an upgrade, which is only going to hurt early sales of the 8 Plus model. However, a lack of HDR support aside, this is still a solid premium handset that impresses in pretty much every area.

Powerhouse; Sleek new design; Wireless charging; Smart integrated software

The new iPhone 8 Plus is similar to the iPhone 7 plus however the camera is better and also the phone has a crazy long battery life. I didn't plug my phone in for two days and I still had about 30% battery (I am not a heavy cell phone user however).

Sleek; lightweight

Large; bulky with case on

I decided to get an Iphone 8 plus (moving up from a 5s) and I have no regrets. The 8 plus probably has the best battery life ive ever seen in a smart phone device. Can go an entire day of continuous use without having to charge.

The launch of new iPhones is always a special event. So you can imagine our surprise when Phil Schiller actually rushed through the launches of the iPhone 8 and its elder brother, the 8 Plus, as he proceeded to what in the eyes of many was the real star of the show, the iPhone X.

Great display and sound; Superb cameras; Generally smooth operation

(Still) Expensive; Slightly buggy software; Dated and slightly bulky design

excellent could not wait to get it, Merry Christmas to me

I was very reluctant to upgrade my phone as I was worried about transferring all my information & documents to the new phone, but I have to say I was absolutely amazed at how easy it was. It took only a few minutes and other than stored passwords everything transferred without a hitch.

I bought this to upgrade from a 6+ cosmetically little difference, but the wireless charging and better battery life are great I hope it lasts as long as my previous iPhone (4 yrs)

It's class

Some underlying technical issues

The iPhone 8 Plus is a new level in quality and value.
