iPhone 8 Plus review: it's kinda dull, but that's the whole point

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...
Pros:
  • Wireless charging
  • improved camera
  • augmented reality
  • the best iPhone to date..

iPhone 8 Plus: Great hardware on a dated design

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.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • Same design might bore some users
  • Glass back means it is more fragile (no matter how strong they claim it to be

Pros:
  • Super-fast processor
  • Dual cameras
  • Wireless charging
Cons:
  • Not the fastest LTE connections
  • Still a relatively low-res screen with a big bezel for the price

Apple iPhone 8 Plus Review

The iPhone 8 Plus may promise better augmented reality experiences than its smaller counterpart thanks to its dual cameras, making it the one you should buy. The iPhone 8 Plus—really the iPhone 7s Plus, when you think about it—may be the sweet spot in Apple's new phone lineup. Its dual cameras will enable better augmented reality experiences than the iPhone 8, and its bigger screen offers a better spotlight for high-intensity applications powered by the new A11 processor. And, starting at $799 (for 64GB), it's significantly less expensive than the iPhone X. While we wish Apple had been more innovative with its screen and modem here, the 8 Plus is our Editors' Choice for iPhones right now. Design From the front, you may have some trouble telling the iPhone 8 Plus apart from the 7 Plus. At 6.24 by 3.07 by 0.3 inches and 7.13 ounces, it's the same size, but heavier. It has a similar 5.5-inch, 1,920-by-1,080 LCD, although it's been enhanced with True Tone, which gives it better white balance in different kinds of lighting. The Touch ID home button sits below the screen, as usual. There's a Lightning port, but no headphone jack, and the ph...
Pros:
  • Super-fast processor
  • Dual cameras
  • Wireless charging
Cons:
  • Not the fastest LTE connections
  • Still a relatively low-res screen with a big bezel for the price

Apple iPhone 8 Plus review: Strong and steady

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...
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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

Apple iPhone 8 Plus review: Should one wait for the X?

Throughout the review of the Apple iPhone 8 Plus we kept asking ourselves, does it makes sense to ditch the iPhone 7 Plus and skip to this one? The answer was apparent, it can wait. Since we already know that the better iPhone – the Apple iPhone X (ten) is around the corner.

Apple iPhone 8+ Plus (256GB, Silver) - Excellent review

The iPhone 8 feels like home; the home you had been planning to upgrade for years but kept waiting for the right moment, the perfect deal, the latest piece of wonder-tech. Now it’s finally done and instead of having to accommodate to a new living space, you get to skip right to the good part.
