Small upgrades can make a big difference, and Apple's largest phone now leads the pack

Great screen; Superb dual-lens cameras; Solid performance; Good build quality; Strong battery life

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.

This should have been a 7S. That simple. But it's complicated. Too complicated perhaps for Apple as we used to know it.

This year, Apple broke from tradition and introduced two totally new iPhones: the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X. What's up with that? As cool as the iPhone X looks, the iPhone 8 is still a fantastic device.

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).
