iPhone 8 review: An excellent phone waits in the shadow of iPhone X

2017-09-19
what exactly is the iPhone 8 Apple has three new iPhones this year the iPhone 10 is new and futuristic but it is $1000 and doesn't come out until November and then there are two very familiar-looking iPhones with a few key upgrades available now the eight and eight plus they look a lot like the iPhones you've been seeing since the 6 and 6-plus back in 2014 they're not exciting looking but they're practical consider these the sensible sedans to the iPhone tens roadster the iPhone 8 feels more like an iPhone 7s from the outside you won't have much to show off but inside there are quite a few upgrades the 4.7 inch 8 still has the same sized body or with a glass back this time that allows wireless charging compatible with a common Qi standard this isn't an oled display like the iPhone 10 but it does have apples true tone technology which adds extra warmth and auto adjusting tones to match room lighting the eight still lacks a dual camera this time around 2 which means no telephoto or portrait bokeh effects you'll need to spring for the A+ or the upcoming 10 to get those the iPhone eights cameras take great photos of video and have better detail in autofocus in low-light videos look fantastic this phone does have a blazing-fast new chip inside that nearly doubles multitasking speeds apple says it enhances augmented reality applications - with iOS 11 which offers a bunch of new upgrades like an improved control center built-in document scanning and a revamped Siri Apple's enabling apps that can create surprisingly good augmented reality by holding your phone at the real world to project realistic virtual things Apple's a Ark it also works with other iPhones so you don't need the eight for it but it could help render these better over time the problem is the A+ still offers a better camera battery life and larger screen and with the iPhone 10 cramming an even bigger display into a body almost as small as the iPhone 8 this models look feels older than ever but it does have a home button and touch ID something the upcoming iPhone 10 lacs maybe you want to play it safe since we still don't know what face ID on the 10 will be like or you don't want to pay a thousand dollars for a new iphone but here's the thing until we review the 10 when it arrives we really have no idea how the eight compares all I'd suggest is if you're paying this much already consider the 8 plus it's worth the upgrade if you like the 7 the 8 is greater
