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

Pros: Great performance with no lag, Very good camera in good lighting Bright screen outdoor Very cool vibration feedback( haptic) Stereo speakers Very good battery life ( stand by time is insane ,same screen on time) Wireless charging/fast charging Cons: Camera takes blurry photos in low light( not...

The main question is whether you should buy this phone or wait for the incoming iPhone X. The greatest question of the next month! Our take is that you should only wait for the iPhone X if you can embrace change. Most people can't, which is why we bring it up.

Looking aged versus rivals; No mobile HDR; The iPhone X is coming

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.

I love this phone! I upgraded from an iPhone 7. I would have to say this is one of the best iPhones I have ever had, and I upgrade every year. The camera is bomb.com. The portrait mode is pretty cool, and even the front facing camera seems to be more clear, (less grainy).

Small upgrades can make a big difference, and Apple's largest phone now leads the pack

Great screen; Superb dual-lens cameras; Solid performance; Good build quality; Strong battery life

Large; dated design; No headphone jack

Still, if you're committed to iOS your options are limited, and if you want something big, high-end and cheaper than the iPhone X then the iPhone 7 Plus is your best and only choice.

+ Very powerful; + Premium build; + Good dual-lens camera

- Dated design; - Few new features; - Middling battery

The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are one of the most interesting iPhone updates Apple has released in the past few years. From a purely aesthetic point of view, we'd say the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are certainly the most attractive iPhone models that Apple has put forth since the original iPhone 4;...
