Apple doesn't slide backward, but sometimes it moves forward slowly. The new iPhone 8 ($699 for 64GB; $849 for 256GB) rests a little bit on Apple's laurels. While it's an excellent phone, it doesn't bring any radical new consumer features for owners of the iPhone 7 or even 6s models. Its powerful new A11 processor sets the stage for Apple's augmented reality future, but if you're interested in that, the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X are better bets. Before we begin, I'd like to note the score above: 3.5 stars, the lowest we've rated an iPhone in a while. The iPhone 8 has some class-leading features, most notably that A11 processor and a camera that matches other $700 flagships. But on price-performance balance, it's the least appealing member of the iPhone family right now, and for that, we docked it half a star. A Familiar Design The iPhone 8 looks a lot like the iPhone 7, except that the metal back has been switched out for shimmering glass. At 5.45 by 2.65 by 0.29 inches (HWD) a...

The iPhone 8 anchors Apple's 2017 phone line, but it isn't where the future is.

Wireless charging; Powerful new processor

Lacks the latest modem features and bands; Single camera is a disadvantage for AR; Not a huge upgrade over last year's model, which is still available

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

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;

This wasn’t supposed to be the year of the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus ( available at Amazon ) . There's no denying the appeal of the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus: They're posh, exquisitely-crafted devices with powerful hardware, streamlined software, and some of the best camera experiences the...

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.

An Android site’s perspective

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

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
