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.
Pros:
- Great display and sound
- Superb cameras
- Generally smooth operation
Cons:
- (Still) Expensive
- Slightly buggy software
- Dated and slightly bulky design

iPhone 8 Plus
Judging by the to pick up the and iPhone 8 Plus, there isn't a whole lot of hype around Apple's latest plus-sized phone. This isn't because it's a bad phone, but because Apple superseded the iPhone 8 Plus around 10 minutes after it was announced by showing off the OLED-toting, bezel-free .
Pros:
- Excellent
- versatile camera
- Great screen
- Super speakers
- Wireless charging is nice to have
Cons:
- Very heavy
- Boring design
- No OIS on secondary camera
- Would have liked the screen to be OLED

Review: Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
The first place I took the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus was a sticky, late-summer wedding just outside of Austin. It turned out to be the perfect way to stress-test the new devices. The iPhones 8 have new cameras designed to hack it even on a drunken dance floor.
Pros:
- The world is going camera-first, and this is a kick-ass camera
- The glass design is a big improvement
- Wireless charging makes everything better
Cons:
- There's a lot of bezel on this phone
- Next to the iPhone X, it already feels outdated
- The iPhone 8 lets you do so much, but iOS 11 buries too much of it

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

The iPhone 8 Plus is ready for the future, which makes it our favorite iPhone so far - but then again, we haven't tested the iPhone X yet. At $799 for 64GB and $949 for 256GB, the 8 Plus is less expensive than its primary competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
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
