Iphone 8

If you're scouring for the four phones. They're three years newer than the iPhone 8, but a fair bit pricier to match. Thankfully, the price for the iPhone 8 has dropped since it launched. When Apple announces new iPhones, it typically drops a few aging devices, but the iPhone 8 has manage to survive unscathed, and enjoys the new features in While it may not offer much over its direct predecessor, the iPhone 8 has enough about it to make it an exciting upgrade for those with older iPhone handsets. It also enjoys all the goodies in iOS 14, like widgets, Update: The iPhone 8 will be getting iOS 15 . Apple confirmed as much while unveiling the software at WWDC 2021 . The update will land later this year (probably in September) and it brings spatial audio to FaceTime, the ability for Android users to join FaceTime calls, new details for commercial districts and buildings in Apple Maps, a redesigned weather app, and lots more. • Read our reviews: iPhone 8 vs iPhone XS Apple hasn't reinvented the wheel here – if you're craving innovation (within the iPhone bubble, at least) see the new iPhone XS (which has replaced the You've probably already heard, but the differences between these two phones is pretty vast - and the first point is the cost. At launch, the iPhone XS started at $999 / £999 / AU$1,579 if you want the 64GB model, where the iPhone 8 now starts at $599 / £599 / AU$979 for the same capacity. Those prices have gone down since, though the iPhone 8 isn't sold directly by...

Starting at $449 and $549, respectively, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are also considerably more affordable than the iPhone 11. Between the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, our top pick remains the Plus because of its larger screen, longer battery life and more versatile dual cameras. However, the iPhone 8 remains one of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus review: Design I’m torn about the look of the new iPhones. On the one hand, the new glass back looks elegant while being less slippery than my matte black iPhone 7 Plus. Apple’s new phones are also built stronger, with the company claiming that the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus boast the most durable glass ever on a smartphone. This is due in part to a deeper strengthening layer. (More on that in a moment.) I do like how the strong 7000 series aluminum band on the iPhone 8 is color matched with the pearlescent rear. On the gold iPhone 8 Plus I tested, the back looks like a true rose gold and less pink than previous model. I also tested the silver iPhone 8, whose back is a less exciting gray. The new iPhones are also available in Space Gray. For us minimalists, there’s no small type saying where this device was assembled or its model number beneath the word iPhone. Now, it just says iPhone. Measuring 5.5 x 2.7 x 0.29 inches and weighing 5.2 ounces, the iPhone 8 is a bit heavier and a smidge thicker than the iPhone 7 (5.4 x 2.6 x 0.28 inches, 4.9 ounces), but I barely noticed the difference. I’m guessing the extra girth comes from adding the wirel...

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 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 Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. (Opens in a new window) Below the screen, there's the traditional capacitive home button, with Touch ID. The iPhone 8 lacks the cool new Face ID technology in the iPhone X, keeping the fingerprint scanner alive for at least one more year. Dual speakers, at the top and bottom of the phone, promise louder sound than the iPhone 7 line, although we didn't hear a dramatic difference. The phone is also IP67 water-resistant, like the iPhone 7 generation. See It (Opens in a new window) Faster Than Ever The new six-core A11 Bionic processor has two "high performance" and four "efficiency" cores. That's more than the four-core A10 and the two-core A9, but the whole core thing is a red herring; it's possible to design a fast processor with few cores, or many cores. What makes it Bionic? Wel...

The overall design is the same as previous-generation devices, but the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus adopted glass bodies sandwiched in a a matching aluminum frame.
