Well, here we are. This year the time has come once more to cross to the dark side of the force, at least for a few days. All of us are anxiously waiting to try the brand new and (in its own way) revolutionary iPhone X, but we must not forget that Cupertino's company has also presented two other...

Long battery life; Perfect performance; High quality apps in the App Store; Best AR platform in the mobile world; Wireless Recharge; Telephoto lens; Video 4K 60 fps and 1080p 240fps 4K 60 fps and 1080p 240fps

Screen/front panel ratio; No audio jack; Somewhat heavy; Lack of manual mode in the camera; Heats up a lot under stress

I decided to try an Apple I-Phone after having a Galaxy S8 and I am so far impressed with the phone. I notice that the phone is very stable. No lagging and the UI is fast. I had to acquaint myself with the Apple layout, but I find it to be simplistic. The 5.5" display is good for me.

LONG Battery Life on Standby; Nice colors displayed; UI is Snappy; Earbuds are excellent; Dedicated Ring/Silence switch; No Bloatware; 11.4.1 Update

Keyboard needs more symbols; Glass Backing; No SD Card slot; Only one resolution option on Camera; No Ringer Silent Icon; Extra Step in deleting Messages

Love this phone. Lots of features, especially with the camera. Could be an issue if you have small hands as it is bigger than I expected it to be and can be awkward to hold sometimes.

The iPhone 8 Plus is a curious case of a great smartphone that fails to excite.

Fastest phone you can buy today; Brilliant 1080p display; Stellar battery life; Speedy camera with accurate focusing

Dated design; Low-light camera performance should have been better; Sort of in no man's land; thanks to the iPhone X; Wireless charger has to be purchased separately

When Apple announced the current generation of iPhones this year, the entire event seemed to be a build up to the tenth anniversary iPhone - called the iPhone X (pronounced as iPhone Ten). The upgrades to the iPhone 7/7 Plus were announced in the form of the iPhone 8/8 Plus.

The iPhone X got all the headlines but in many ways the iPhone 8 Plus is a more appealing upgrade.

Received my new iPhone 8 Plus yesterday, and I can honestly say it's fantastic! It's really fast compared to my old iPhone, which was the reason for changing. It came the day after I ordered it, which was a nice surprise.

The iPhone 8 is a bit unconventional. It was one of two new smartphone models announced by Apple earlier this month, with the other being Apple's most advanced smartphone ever, the iPhone X , and a clear indicator of where future smartphones are heading.

The best iPhone to date with wireless charging; a more powerful processor; better screen and camera

Overshadowed by the iPhone X

Another quality purchase from Harvey Norman, great products, great prices and even greater service.

It's that time of the year again – Apple's firmly established yearly release cycle means today we assess the iPhone 8 Plus. The current flagship, though due to be usurped by the iPhone X very soon, the 8 Plus boasts a new A11 Bionic chip, a dual-camera set up plus a new glass back.

Great camera(s); Very fast; Good display

Uninspired design looks very dated now; Software is very samey; Price of 256GB model is right in iPhone X territory
