The iPhone 8 feels like home; the home you had been planning to upgrade for years but kept waiting for the right moment, the perfect deal, the latest piece of wonder-tech. Now it’s finally done and instead of having to accommodate to a new living space, you get to skip right to the good part.

For 2017 there's a trio of new iPhones: the small-scale iPhone 8, the larger iPhone 8 Plus, and the forthcoming iPhone X (that's "iPhone 10", if you're saying it properly). The biggest and widest of the three, the iPhone 8 Plus, is far more handset than the predicted "iPhone 7S" upgrade we and many...

Power and speed that's second-to-none; wireless charging is useful; fast charging is finally here; great cameras when used properly; attractive tweaked design

Still very large (especially width); Portrait Lighting can be hit and miss; iPhone X a hard proposition to ignore; glass design likely more prone to accidents

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 iPhone 8 Plus is a big, chunky phablet that stands out like a sore thumb in the crowded marketplace filled with sleeker rivals. It's massive, and not in a good way, in an era where a big screen doesn't have to mean a big phone.

32-hour battery life; great dual-camera system; water resistant; wireless charging; fingerprint scanner

bad 2014 design; no headphone jack; no fast charger in the box; expensive; massive bezels; too wide to comfortably hold; heavy

large smartphone dimensions, but the real significance of this update is under the hood and in the updated cameras

It's not very often that two new iPhone models are upstaged at their own launch, but that's exactly what happened at Apple's September event this year. The iPhone X was the star of the show, the cool new kid everyone wanted to hang out with, while the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus were relegated to the...

I upgraded to this phone from my 5s that I've used for the last 4 years. It definitely has its perks such as being much faster and better photo quality. I really also enjoy the size of the plus and am still able to use it one handed with reachability. Love this!

Apple's breakthrough smartphone, the iPhone X , is still weeks away at least – and it will be priced the other side of $1,500. And while the iPhone 8 is more affordable, its 4.7in screen is starting to look pretty small by today's standards.

Another year, another iPhone. That's usually the case with Apple's flagship smartphone – but this year is different. During its annual September keynote Apple actually revealed three iPhones: the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X.

A11 Bionic is a beast; Best camera we've seen on a smartphone; iOS 11 improves on everything great about iOS; Best iteration of the same design

Same design might bore some users; Glass back means it is more fragile (no matter how strong they claim it to be

From the front, these phones look very like last year's iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The same Home button with fingerprint sensor beneath the display, the...

Fast processor; Great cameras; Superb image processing; Wireless charging; Excellent operating system; Countless apps

Design might become dated; They're not the iPhone X
