iPhone 8 Plus 64GB
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.
A newer model iPhone XS Max 64GB was released in September 2018.

iPhone 8 review
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
iPhone 8 Plus review
A solid iPhone, but a clear evolution from previous Plus models. Compared to the iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro Max it's unexciting, but it offers the traditional home button and a far better experience over the smaller iPhone 8.- Fast and wireless charging is useful
- Glass back feels premium
- Dual camera is powerful
- Dated design
- No mobile HDR
- Battery life average
Got to love an iPhone
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.
iPhone 8 Plus review
The iPhone 8 Plus is a hard phone to recommend. Sure, it's powerful, but so is every other flagship - and with a dated design and huge body, the 8 Plus is lagging behind. Throw in the fact that the wireless charging is slow, the fast wired charging costs you extra, and flagship camera feature Portrait Lighting just doesn't work well enough yet, and the 8 Plus is a tough sell. If you're coming from an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus there's not much to justify the upgrade - though moving from a 6 or 6s is more understandable. And if you're currently an Android user, you'll find phones that are just as fast, with modern designs, for far less money in the Android ecosystem. It's just hard to see the argument for spending £799/$799 on a phone this big in 2017, especially with the smaller-bodied iPhone X now in the line up. This one's for big-handed Apple devotees only.
Great camera features
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.
First phone appeared to have subsurface cracks, further inspection revealed a screen protector was used to cover significant scratching on an otherwise good phone (no scratches or marks elsewhere, 99% battery, unlocked, and working).
Getting there
This is my second iPhone I have changed from 5s to 8plus so was used to a lot the features. Lot larger than the 5s but is heavier and that takes a while to adjust too. Having a bigger screen is much easier to navigate, but I do wish they included an instruction manual especially when you consider...
Loving It!
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.
My first Premium Phone
I wouldn't recommend it as they probably have a version. My first big iphone and i intend to make it last . The build quality is excellent, Screen is just perfect for me at 1080p who needs 4k. Battery is good but cant say i've drained it yet. Camera is perfect 100x better than my last budget phone.
