Remember the good old days when Apple revamped the design of its smartphones every two years, boosting the specifications in between? Recently it has stepped outside that tick-tock development cycle.
The 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus is quite similar to its predecessor 7 Plus version with the notable exception that the back side is made out of glass. Wireless charging technology based upon the Qi-standard requires a transparent material like glass in order to properly work.
The exterior of iPhone 8 Plus as well as the smaller iPhone 8 also look similar to iPhone 7 Plus' including a fingerprint scanner and a home button. It also sports a Retina-screen. The new True Tone technology, however, improves colour rendering and increases the range of colours that the phone can display.
Dual-rear 12 MP cameras mean that the new iPhone 8 takes higher-quality photos. Furthermore, recording in slow motion at a frame rate of 240 fps in 1080p is double that of iPhone 7.
The phone is powered by Apple’s A11 processor, which contains a neural system capable of face-recognition (currently only available on iPhone X). It lacks a headphone jack and is waterproof.
The operating system employed is the new iOS 11.
Manufacturer: Apple

Very easy to use all apps
Way before its September announcement and October release date, the iPhone 8 has been the talk of the tech industry pretty much the day after the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus was launched. Such is the state of the smartphone industry that there's barely a moments rest to enjoy the newly released units before...
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 new iPhone 8 Plus is similar to the iPhone 7 plus however the camera is better and also the phone has a crazy long battery life. I didn't plug my phone in for two days and I still had about 30% battery (I am not a heavy cell phone user however).
Sleek; lightweight
Large; bulky with case on
I decided to get an Iphone 8 plus (moving up from a 5s) and I have no regrets. The 8 plus probably has the best battery life ive ever seen in a smart phone device. Can go an entire day of continuous use without having to charge.
The launch of new iPhones is always a special event. So you can imagine our surprise when Phil Schiller actually rushed through the launches of the iPhone 8 and its elder brother, the 8 Plus, as he proceeded to what in the eyes of many was the real star of the show, the iPhone X.
Great display and sound; Superb cameras; Generally smooth operation
(Still) Expensive; Slightly buggy software; Dated and slightly bulky design
Lovely bit of kit, great value sort of, shame manufacturer don't provide a fast charge charger, it's a great feature but costs extra, also get some AppleCare just in case you drop it very important
excellent could not wait to get it, Merry Christmas to me
I was very reluctant to upgrade my phone as I was worried about transferring all my information & documents to the new phone, but I have to say I was absolutely amazed at how easy it was. It took only a few minutes and other than stored passwords everything transferred without a hitch.
