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

Apple's latest iPhone 8 is supercharged by its new A11 Bionic chip, which does the heavy lifting for a series of major new camera features as well as making everything faster. It also packs iPad Pro's True Tone display and Fast Charging, and adds Qi wireless charging through its beautifully glossy...

New design is beautiful on the back with little changing up front; Great battery life in line with last year's iPhone 7; Speedy A11 Bionic chip enhances gaming; AR apps; New camera smarts capture better photos in low light and with better HDR; 60fps 4K recording captures impressively smooth; high...

Both the 8 and 8 Plus use Apple's new A11 Bionic processor, a hexa-core chip with two performance cores that are 25-percent faster than the A10, and four performance cores that the company says are 70-percent faster than the old model.

Incredible benchmark performance; Wireless charging; Improved stereo speakers; Improved cameras; Portrait Lighting (for the 8 Plus

Looks the same from the front; Mostly incremental upgrades; Not the iPhone X

I am so completely pleased with this phone. The photos are incredible in vibrant colors and clarity. I am really happy with the larger screen and memory this purchase offers me Lots of new amenities that my prior phone did not offer.

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

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

If you are of a mind to anthropomorphise technology, you could almost feel sorry for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. They appeared for their moment in the spotlight, all gleaming and shiny with their new glass backs and wireless charging, ready to impress the fevered audience at Apple's Californian HQ...

Wireless charging; improved camera; augmented reality; the best iPhone to date..; but there's a but

Not enough to set either handset apart from the iPhone 7; the 8s feel immediately outmoded by the iPhone X

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

More of the same from Apple – just a little better in most departments and a little more expensive, too

Great cameras; Wireless charging; Incredibly fast

Same old iPhone design; Expensive; Exceedingly heavy
