I have been actively using both the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus for the past few weeks, many of my friends posted the same question to me – why does these two phones matter when there's an iPhone X? First, the iPhone 8 isn't a bad phone, no doubt it still uses th...

If you're in the market for a smartphone, you realistically have two options. You can either get something running Android with Google Play Services, or an iPhone. Sure, there are a few other options and some home-brewed solutions, but that won't apply t...
Is the iPhone 8 Plus a good phone? Absolutely. No smartphone can match the iPhone in single device sales, and despite having a shorter feature list, Apple takes the features it does offer and nails them like no one else can.It's a phone with killer hardwa...

Apple has three new iPhones this year: the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus. While all of them run on iOS and have identical hardware inside, only one of them feels genuinely new and that is the iPhone X. It has a fresh new “all-screen” des...
So… what are the differences and which one should you get?Let's first look at the prices:iPhone 8: $700 for 64GB, $850 for 256GBiPhone 8 Plus: $800 for 64GB, $950 for 256GBiPhone X: $1,000 for 64GB, $1,150 for 256GBThese are the most expensive iPhones, an...

The iPhone X's edge-to-edge display has captured most of the attention this iPhone launch season, but the elegant glass back is just as stunning as the nearly bezel-free front. Apple extended that all-glass aesthetic to its entire 2017 lineup, including t...
We still need to run a multitude of tests on the iPhone X, but it edges out the iPhone 8 Plus when it comes to design, display and camera quality. If you don't want to spend $1,000 on an iPhone, or if the thought of dealing with launch-day lines or a pote...

In this long-term iPhone 8 Plus review, I'll explain what I love about the iPhone 8 Plus, what I can't stand about it and why it might be better to buy this phone than the iPhone X. No, the iPhone 8 Plus doesn't have a sleek all-display design like the iP...
The iPhone 8 Plus is a superb phone and if the iPhone X didn't exist I'd be perfectly content with it and recommend it without hesitation. But the iPhone X does exist and spending the extra $200 on it means that you get a phone that is easier to handle an...

To those who already own an iPhone 7 Plus (review), the design is the only real thing that's different. Sure there's the wireless charging and the fast charging, but both of those will mean even more money spent for you. The iPhone 7 Plus isn't a bad phon...

When Apple announced the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X last month, I wrote an article about the differences between the three phones. The iPhone X will have an OLED display, Face ID instead of Touch ID, a better secondary rear camera, and a better front camer...
OK, so here's the deal. If you've got an iPhone 6s or earlier, you should totally upgrade. If you're on the iPhone Upgrade Program or some other plan where you swap out your phone every year, you're good to go. If you bought an iPhone 7 Plus, well, probab...

It's difficult to put a label on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. It's a definite update from 2016's iPhone 7—even though it looks almost exactly the same—but it's different enough that it doesn't deserve to be given an “S” naming scheme. To me, it feels more...
