Vay Tiền Online Chuyển Khoản Ngay. (Pocket-lint) - The rumour mill loves an Apple story and the 2017 iPhones have had their fair share and then some. This year's models mark a decade since the launch of the original iPhone so it's no surprise how much of a twist the mill got its knickers in over the last year. Best smartphones 2018: The best phones available to buy today Best UK SIM-only deals: October 2017 Best iPhone X cases: Protect your new Apple device Best iPhone 8, 8 Plus contract deals The iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X are now official though so without further speculation or rumour, here is everything you need to know about the three new iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Naming Three models Called iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X iPhone 8=iPhone 7S, iPhone 8 Plus=iPhone 7S Plus, iPhone X is premium model Traditionally, the next iPhones should have been called the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus following on from last year's iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. That wasn't the case this year though, with not only three models instead of two announced, but a change up in names has skipped the incremental "S" model naming to move straight to iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus for the two standard iPhone models. It also introduced a third model, a more premium device, which is called iPhone X. The letter X is 10 in roman numerals, tying the new device in with the anniversary of the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Design iPhone 8 and 8 Plus look similar to iPhone 7 and 7 Plus iPhone X offers different design All waterproof Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus designThe Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus feature similar designs to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus respectively, though they change things up in terms of materials. Still offering a super slim build, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have an aluminium frame like their predecessors but rather than aluminium rears, they feature glass backs with a seven-layer colour process available in Silver, Space Grey and are IP67 water and dust resistant as the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus were, and both are compatible with wireless charging thanks to their glass backs. The iPhone 8 has a single camera lens on the rear which is slightly raised from the back of the device, while the iPhone 8 Plus has a dual-camera lens in a horizontal format, like the iPhone 7 Apple logo is positioned towards the middle of both devices on the rear, the iPhone logo towards the bottom and neither have a headphone jack, like the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Both have the TouchID fingerprint sensor on the front below their displays, while the volume rocker and power button remain in the same positions as the iPhone 7 and 7 iPhone 8 measures x x and weighs 148g, while the iPhone 8 Plus measures x x and hits the scales at 202g. Water and dust IP ratings: What do they actually mean? Apple iPhone X designThe Apple iPhone X is the new premium iPhone, sitting above the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in terms of both design and the features it offers. It has a surgical grade stainless steel frame with slim, rounded edges and a glass rear, meaning the new premium device is also compatible with wireless charging like the 8 and 8 the rear, you'll find a vertically-arranged dual camera system that is positioned in the top left-hand corner, slightly raised and surrounded by a metal trim. The True Tone Quad-LED flash is positioned in between the camera lenses rather than to the side or below. The Apple logo sits in its traditional place in the middle towards the top of the rear, the iPhone logo is present towards the bottom of the rear and the Lightning port is flanked by speakers either side on the bottom edge of the device, as front is where the biggest changes can be seen with an almost all-screen finish, like we have seen on the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 smartphones, as well as the LG G6 and V30 devices, all of which launched earlier this year. Like these devices, there is no physical button on the front of the iPhone X, meaning it's bye bye for TouchID. The front-facing camera, which is capable of facial recognition, something Apple is calling FaceID, is present at the top of the screen, along with a range of sensors. FaceID will use a 3D depth-sensing module to unlock the phone and authenticate payments through Apple Pay, while the home screen is accessed via a swipe from the bottom of the screen. The volume buttons and silent toggle remain on the left edge of the iPhone X, while the power button remains on the right edge. It measures x x weighs 174g and comes in two colour options of Space Grey and Silver.

What is Apple's FaceID and how does it work? Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Display and screen sizes 8 and 8 Plus have LCD displays, iPhone X has OLED display All have True Tone technology Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus displayThe Apple iPhone comes with a LED-backlit Retina HD display, which is the same as the iPhone 7 it succeeds. It has a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, which results in a pixel density of 326ppi and it features a standard 16:9 aspect Apple iPhone 8 Plus meanwhile, comes with a LED-backlit Retina HD display, the same as the iPhone 7 Plus. Its resolution is set at 1920 x 1080 pixels, which means a pixel density of 401ppi and it too has a standard aspect ratio of 16: IPS display on both the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have a P3 wide colour gamut, along with a 625 cd/m2 max brightness and 3D Touch, which is Apple's version of a pressure-sensitive display, allowing for various functions and features depending on the force with which you press. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus also offer True Tone technology, something that was previously introduced on Apple's iPad Pro range. What is Apple's True Tone display? Apple iPhone X displayThe Apple iPhone X has a display but its super narrow bezels and what is thought to be a 19:9 aspect ratio mean its footprint is actually smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus, as you may recall from the measurements front of the device is predominately screen, like the Samsung Galaxy S8, but there are no bezels anywhere on the iPhone X, with the screen reaching from edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner, leaving just a small tab at the top for the front camera and its accompanying has traded the LED-backlit IPS display from the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus for an OLED screen that its calling Super Retina, meaning richer and more vibrant colours, deeper blacks and likely an improvement in battery life. It also increases its resolution to 2436 x 1125 pixels for a pixel density of addition to all the features found on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, including 3D Touch and the P3 wide colour gamut, the iPhone X also offers HDR compatibility and Dolby Vision support, like the LG G6. It also offers the True Tone display technology. Mobile HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Mobile HDR Premium explained Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Camera iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X have dual camera Facial recognition on iPhone X called FaceID Dual OIS on iPhone X Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus cameraThe Apple iPhone 8 comes with a single 12-megapixel rear camera with an f/ aperture, optical image stabilisation and digital zoom up to 5x. It has wide colour capture for photos and Live Photos and it has a Quad-LED True Tone flash with something Apple is calling Slow Sync on Apple iPhone 8 Plus meanwhile, has a dual-rear camera setup offering two 12-megapixel sensors, one of which is a wide-angle sensor, the other a telephoto sensor. The wide-angle sensor has a f/ aperture, while the telephoto lens has a f/ aperture. There is optical image stabilisation on board, along with optical zoom and digital zoom up to the iPhone 8, it also has wide colour capture for photos and Live Photos and a Quad-LED True Tone flash with Slow Sync, but it also offers Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting, the latter of which is a new feature that will launch in beta the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are capable of 4K video recording from their rear cameras up to 60fps and they also offer 1080p slo-mo video support at either 120fps or 240fps. The two devices also come with a 7-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/ aperture, Retina Flash and 1080p video iPhone X cameraThe Apple iPhone X offers advancements in camera capabilities over the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. It comes with a dual camera setup on the rear again, like the iPhone 8 Plus but it is in a vertical format rather than resolution remains the same as the iPhone 8 Plus with two 12-megapixel sensors, one wide-angle and one telephoto and the aperture is the same too with the wide-angle offering a f/ aperture and the telephoto offering f/ All of the features from the iPhone 8 Plus carry through to the iPhone X, including optical zoom and digital zoom up to 10x, a wide colour capture, a Quad-LED True Tone flash and Portrait mode, as well as the beta version of Portrait the iPhone X offers on the rear camera that the iPhone 8 Plus doesn't is dual optical image stabilisation, something Samsung recently announced on its Galaxy Note 8 smartphone. In terms of video recording, the iPhone X has the same capabilities as the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, with 4K recording up to 60fps, slo-mo video at 1080p up to 240fps and optical image stabilisation for front camera on the iPhone X is where the biggest differences lie compared to the iPhone 8 Plus though, with a TrueDepth camera on board capable of facial recognition, rather than a FaceTime HD camera. The resolution remains at 7-megapixels, the aperture stays at f/ and all the same features are on board as the iPhone 8 Plus but because of the various sensors, the iPhone X can also offer Animoji, which is animated emojis. Yes iPhone X also offers Portrait mode on the front camera, and Portrait Lighting in beta on the front camera, both features of which aren't available on the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Hardware A11 Bionic chip 64GB and 256GB storage options Wireless charging with Qi Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus hardware and specs The Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus both run on a new processor called the A11 Bionic. It has a Neural engine and embedded M11 motion coprocessor on board and Apple has claimed the new chip is 25 per cent faster than the A10 processor and 70 per cent more efficient, while the GPU is 30 per cent faster and uses half the power than the two devices will come in 64GB and 256GB storage options, with Apple ditching the 32GB starter model for the 2017 handsets. The company doesn't reveal the RAM capacity, though it is thought the iPhone 8 has 2GB of RAM, while the iPhone 8 Plus has 3GB of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have TouchID on board for biometric security, allowing users to unlock their devices and pay for items with Apple Pay using their fingerprint, like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Battery life remains the same as the iPhone 7 for the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 7 Plus for the iPhone 8 Plus, with up to 14 hours and 21 hours talk time iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus also offer wireless charging, as we mentioned previously. They will be compatible with Qi chargers but they can also be charged via the traditional Lightning port and they are fast-charge capable with up to 50 per cent in 30 minutes. Neither has a headphone jack, but both come with a Lighting to adapter in the box like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus iPhone X specsThe Apple iPhone X also runs on the A11 Bionic chip, like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus meaning a similar power performance across all three devices is likely. It is thought the X has 3GB of RAM like the iPhone 8 Plus is considered to but as we said, Apple doesn't officially disclose this information so we can't be options are also the same as the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus at 64GB and 256GB. Where the iPhone X differs in specs compared to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is not only the increased battery life, which is said to be two hours longer than the iPhone 7, but the premium model also offers FaceID over is enabled by the TrueDepth camera for facial recognition and it can be used to not only unlock your device, but pay with Apple Pay too and it will recognise you even if you change your hair, take off your make up or add glasses. Apple has also ensured it can't be tricked with photographs or charging is on board the iPhone X, as it is the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus and it too works with Qi chargers. You can also charge it via Lightning and it supports fast charging too, offering up to 50 percent in 30 minutes, like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. What is FaceID and how does it work? Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Software iOS 11 Coming to older iPhones 19 September Apple always launches its new iPhones with the latest software build, which for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X is iOS 11. Apple previewed some features of the new build at its developer conference in June, including updates to Maps, Control Centre and Siri. There were also some big advancements in AR revealed, as well as CarPlay and the App Store is also getting a whole new look. You can read all about the features in our separate feature. The new software will also be available to older iPhones from 19 September. Apple iOS 11: 11 new features coming to your iPhone and iPad Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X: Release date and price 12 September announcement Pre-orders for iPhone 8 and 8 Plus starting 15 September, on sale from 22 September iPhone X pre-orders from 27 October, on sale from 3 November Apple unveiled the three new iPhone models on 12 September. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus will be available to pre-order from 15 September, hitting shelves on 22 iPhone X meanwhile will be available at a slightly later date, with pre-orders starting on 27 October, with an on-sale date of 3 terms of price, the iPhone 8 will start at £699, the iPhone 8 Plus will start at £799 and the iPhone X will start at £999. buzz Writing by Britta O'Boyle. There is now good availability for all Apple ’s new iPhones. But despite the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X sharing many of the same features, there is a massive 40% price difference between the cheapest and most expensive models. So what are the big differences between them and which should you buy? If any… Let’s break it down… Displays - The Past Vs The Future The obvious starting point when comparing the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X is their displays… iPhone X - aspect ratio True Tone OLED, 2436 x 1125 pixels (458 ppi), screen-to-body ratio iPhone 8 - 16:9 aspect ratio True Tone LCD, 1334 x 750 pixels (326 ppi), screen-to-body ratio iPhone 8 Plus - 16:9 aspect ratio True Tone LCD, 1920 x 1080 pixels (401 ppi), screen-to-body ratio The big news here is twofold: while the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus retain the same sizes and core screen technology as their predecessors, the iPhone X is Apple’s first smartphone to both use OLED and switch to the longer and narrower aspect ratio (widely adopted by Android rivals in 2017). From a visual standpoint, OLED is far superior to LCD. It delivers a much higher contrast ratio (1,000,000:1 vs 1,400:1) and power savings. It also has the highest screen resolution (and therefore pixel density) of any iPhone - though not quite at the 2880 x 1440 of rivals. The flipside is OLED does pose the risk of burn-in over time (something Apple admits) and you’ll see a slight Blue tint if you view the display from an angle (notably on white backgrounds). And don’t count out LCD entirely. Apple’s LCDs are the best on the market, they don’t suffer from burn-in and their more traditional aspect ratios are better for the wide array of screen-filling 16:9 video content. All three new iPhones also support High Dynamic Range (HDR - Dolby Vision and HDR10) content which is appearing on iTunes, Netflix and Amazon so old dogs do learn new tricks. Meanwhile, the iPhone X display has its infamous ‘notch’. More of which in the next section… Design - Style Vs Substance If you noticed the screen-to-body ratios in the previous section, the following specifications won’t be a surprise: iPhone X - x x mm ( x x in) and 174g ( oz) iPhone 8 - x x mm ( x x in) and 148g ( oz) iPhone 8 Plus - x x mm ( x x in) and 202g ( oz) Yes, the iPhone X manages to fit a display into a chassis closer in size to the iPhone 8 than the iPhone 8 Plus. But it’s not all good news. In jamming such a big display into the iPhone X, Apple was unable to fit its exciting Face ID technology (more in the Performance section) into the top bezel resulting in a large cut out ‘notch’. This compromises viewing media on the iPhone X (videos and photos either shrink out of its way or lose a section behind the notch) while web browsing is pushed off center. Whether you think this compromise in substance is worth the futuristic design (a bigger top bezel would have avoided it), likely vary from person to person. Displays aside, there are significant similarities across all three new iPhones. All now have glass backs to enable wireless charging (more in the Battery Life section) which look great but add fragility and cost a fortune to repair. At least the IP67 water and dust resistance (full submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes) and rigid Series 7000 Aluminium in their chassis is maintained. All three also retain the Lightning port (Apple is highly unlikely to ever adopt USB-C) and stereo speakers which are roughly 25% louder than the iPhone 7 - though I’ve found the iPhone X to be slightly louder than the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. As for colors, the iPhone X comes in just Silver and Space Grey, while the iPhone 8 adds Gold as a third option. I suspect (Product) Red limited editions of all three models will appear at some stage. Performance - Class Leaders Despite their external differences, internally the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X are almost identical: iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus - Apple A11 ‘Bionic’ chipset: Six-Core CPU, Six Core GPU, M11 motion coprocessor, 3GB RAM (iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus), 2GB RAM (iPhone 8) Why is the iPhone 8 still receiving less RAM? It comes down to two factors: driving its lower resolution display is less demanding and so is operating its single rear camera (more in the Camera section). As such for all intents and purposes, real world performance of the three iPhones is identical. But how much faster are these iPhones than what went before? Apple boasts the A11 chipset has a 25% faster CPU and 30% faster GPU (graphics) than the A10 in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. But the big news is the A11 is also 70% faster when multitasking - and given we spend all our time jumping between apps, that’s big news. In synthetic benchmarking terms, no Android smartphone can get close to the A11, though the real world performance of the Google Pixel 2 and OnePlus 5T runs them close. But where the real difference between the iPhone X and the more traditional iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus stands out is a new performance part: Face ID facial recognition. Technologically, Face ID is somewhat akin to a cutdown Microsoft Kinect as it uses an infrared sensor to map and track a subject (in this case their face, rather than a whole body). The result is facial identification which is leaps and bounds ahead of what has come before and even works in the dark (infrared, remember). A photo won’t fool it since the mapping is three dimensional and the data is kept securely on your phone, not shared with Apple. But it isn’t all good news. At times Face ID simply isn’t as convenient as Touch ID (which the iPhone X lacks completely) since you have to look at your phone every time to unlock it. It’s also slower to unlock than Touch ID and I’ve found it to be less reliable (Touch ID and Google’s Pixel Imprint fingerprint reader remain in a class of their own). It also means you’ll need to learn gestures to navigate your iPhone X (for example, swiping up on a virtual ‘home bar’ takes you to the home screen). Some users will adapt while others will find the transition a deal breaker. As clever as Face ID is, the obvious solution was to include Touch ID on the back as well. Read more - iPhone X Vs iPhone 7: Should You Upgrade? Cameras - Dual Vs Single Vs Single (Plus) While it is arguable whether the iPhone X’s Face ID is better than Touch ID on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, there is a clear hierarchy in photography: iPhone X > iPhone 8 Plus > iPhone 8. The trio are identical in their front and (primary) rear cameras. The former is a 7-megapixel module with f/ aperture and no optical image stabilization (OIS), while the latter is 12 megapixels, has an f/ aperture and OIS. Curious fact: only the iPhone X supports "animojis" (animated emojis) with Apple tying the feature to Face ID. But tests have shown animojis can work with just the front facing camera - not Face ID technology. Yes there are extra accuracies with Face ID, but the feature could’ve worked on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Don’t worry, though fun for a while, you’ll bore of them quickly. Or at least you should! As for the differences, while the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus add a second 12-megapixel telephoto lens (for 2x optical zoom and Portrait Mode), the iPhone X telephoto lens has a faster aperture (f/ vs f/ and optical image stabilization (OIS). This makes it better in low light. With the iPhone X, I’d argue Apple has overtaken Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 to claim the second spot in the smartphone camera leagues. Then again Google has extended the lead it established with the Pixel with the Pixel 2 - particularly in low light and for dynamic range - so that remains the go-to option if camera quality is paramount. Battery Life And Charging - Stagnation And A Costly Catch Up Perhaps the most infuriating aspect to all three new iPhones is their battery technology. Note: this doesn’t touch on the throttling controversy currently engulfing all modern iPhones. I discuss this in the conclusion and would advise all concerned potential iPhone upgraders wait for Apple to disclose its future battery plans (above and beyond a limited time discounted battery swap. You deserve better.) In terms of pure stamina, iPhones continue to stagnant and the iPhone 8 (1821 mAh) and iPhone 8 Plus (2675 mAh) actually have smaller batteries than the iPhone 7 (1960 mAh) and iPhone 7 Plus (2900 mAh). The iPhone X has a 2716 mAh battery, but its battery life falls closer to the iPhone 8 than iPhone 8 Plus - aka not great. Countering this all-new iPhone add the aforementioned wireless charging and fast wired charging for the first time. November’s iOS update increased wireless charging speed from 5W to but the Qi-based technology is disappointingly slow compared to Qi’s 15W top spec. ‘Apple Power’ is promised later in 2018 which may well add 15W, but I suspect it won’t be compatible with existing 15W Qi wireless chargers like 5W and charging is. As for fast wired charging, this is also a double-edged sword. Achieving a 50% charge (from flat) in just 30 minutes competes with rivals’ established fast charging, but remarkably Apple doesn’t include a fast charger in the box. In fact, even the supplied Lighting to USB-A cable is incompatible with the Lighting to USB-C fast charging cable. You’re looking at a minimum outlay of $74 (before tax) for a 29W faster charger and 1 meter cable. Yes, only Apple could get away with this. Read more - Why Your iPhone Is Slowing Down Storage And Price - Bigger And Higher And the added outlay for a fast charger is going to hurt because these are the most expensive iPhones of all time: iPhone X - 64GB ($999), 256GB ($1,149) iPhone 8 - 64GB ($699), 256GB ($849) iPhone 8 Plus - 64GB ($799), 256GB ($949) Yes, there are now only two storage options and the iPhone 8 is $50 more expensive than the iPhone 7 when it launched while the iPhone X hits dizzy new heights (all prices are before tax). Meanwhile, the popular midrange 128GB storage option is no more. But the good news is Apple has at least doubled entry-level storage to 64GB and that may well be enough for many owners. If you’re looking to save on storage then you can put that money towards a wireless charger and/or fast wired charger. Bottom Line The temptation for everyone will be to buy the iPhone X. It looks far better than the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (whose four generation old designs are quite frankly stale at this point) while it also has a fractionally better camera than the iPhone 8 Plus. Historically 2017 will also be remembered as the year the iPhone X launched, no-one will remember the other two. So if you can afford the iPhone X you’ll enjoy it. But if money is tight I’d suggest the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are actually more refined phones. iOS is still best suited to navigation with a home button (at least until iOS 12), Touch ID is faster and easier than Face ID (despite being undeniably impressive technology) while the iPhone 8 Plus has a screen that’s a) better for consuming media and web browsing, b) bigger due to the notch, and it has the best battery life as well - all for $200 less. Personally - unless you are desperate to upgrade - I’d suggest waiting. A second generation iPhone X should have a smaller notch, potentially Touch ID under the display, an iPhone X Plus larger model and the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will be discounted. Furthermore, I expect Apple to issue advanced battery technology to reduce annual performance throttling… But, as always, the decision is yours… ___ Follow Gordon on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ More On Forbes Why Your iPhone Is Slowing Down iPhone 8 Vs iPhone 8 Plus: What's The Difference?

We didn’t hide our opinion that last year’s iPhone 7 was one of Apple’s most disappointing releases in recent memory. Despite having Apple’s famous chic and wealth of top-end hardware, the device was let down by one of the worst battery lives we’ve seen in a flagship smartphone. As a result, we mainly recommended buyers who could afford it to go for Apple’s pricier and larger iPhone 7 Plus phablet. This year Apple seems to have learned from its mistakes and thrown everything but the kitchen sink at its latest trio of smartphones, the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and anniversary-edition iPhone X. Featuring top tech, Apple’s soon-to-be-released iOS 11 software, and pretty much every feature fans have wished for over the last 12 months, all the iPhones look set to be contenders for Phone of the Year. But with the iPhone priced out of most regular buyers’ budget and the other two being at first glance very similar, knowing which iPhone is best for you is a tricky question to answer. Here to help we’ve created a definitive guide, breaking down what’s different between the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

From a distance both iPhones look pretty similar. Both have a reworked mixed-material design, featuring a custom glass back and front and aluminium sides. Some people may bemoan the move to glass, fearing the ever-present threat of cracking that an accidental drop poses, but Apple claim the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus’ skin is “the most durable glass in a smartphone” thanks to the use of a special laser-welded steel-and-copper reinforcing structure. We’re not sure we’d want either to have an accidental meeting with a pavement, but glass definitely looks nice and has also let Apple build the Qi open wireless charging standard into both iPhones, which is supported in many airports. Unlike the iPhone X which has a close to a bezel-less, button-free design, both iPhone 8s have a physical home button and fingerprint scanner. Once again they both don’t feature a headphone jack, which will remain an annoyance for audiophiles. Sadly, unlike their pricier iPhone X sibling, neither new iPhone has made the switch to an OLED panel, and use the same IPS screen tech as older iPhones. Related: Best smartphones The only major differences between the two is that the iPhone 8 has a smaller Retina display and single-lens camera setup, while the iPhone 8 Plus has a larger Retina display and dual-lens system. The iPhone 8 will have a standalone 12-megapixel rear camera, while the iPhone 8 Plus will have a more impressive dual-lens rear camera with OIS that pairs a 12-megapixel ƒ/ lens with a telephoto ƒ/ lens. Apple claims it’s managed to improve the iPhone 8’s image quality using a new ISP processor for photography that will let it capture 80% more light than the old iPhone. But the 8 Plus’ extra tech means it will likely be much better in difficult lighting conditions and has a few custom camera features you won’t get on the basic iPhone 8. The coolest looking of these is a new Portrait Lighting mode. Available in the Portrait menu of the camera app, the mode maps a subject’s face using the two lenses and then you can adjust settings to create a variety of advanced lighting effects. iPhone 8 Plus Both iPhones will be sold with identical 64GB and 256GB storage options. There’s no word on how big each phones’ battery is. Related: Best phablet iPhone 8 vs iPhone 8 Plus: Which phone is more powerful? Apple never discloses its iPhones’ full specifications at launch, so we can’t fully comment on which is more powerful. But from what little we know both phones should be a lot faster than their predecessors, thanks to their use of Apple’s brand-spanking-new A11 Bionic CPU. Both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus run using the new 64-bit CPU which has a slightly atypical hexa-core design that pairs two high-performance cores with four high-efficiency cores. Apple claims the cores are 70% faster than the A10’s and is significantly more power efficient. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus also feature a new Apple-designed three-core GPU that the company claims is three times faster than the A10’s graphics. If any of the performance claims ring true the two phones should be serious performers and deal with everything from hardcore gaming to 4K video recording and multi-tab web browsing hassle-free. The only potential performance differentiation between the two will be memory. In the past the Plus iPhone variants have always had more RAM than their smaller siblings.

Featuring a larger screen, more advanced camera, the iPhone 8 Plus will likely be a better choice for phablet fans and people who care about camera tech, but with pricing starting at $799, it’s $100 more expensive than the basic iPhone 8. With the added allure of the even more swanky iPhone X further complicating things, this could make the basic iPhone 8 the default choice for most buyers where budget is a concern, though we won’t know this until we’ve had a chance to test all the new iPhones. What do you think of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus? Let us know in the comments. It feels like no-one cares about the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Last week it was reported that Apple’s latest iPhones are actually being outsold by their predecessors, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. I can’t vouch for the veracity of that analysis, but it wouldn’t really surprise me if it were true. People that buy iPhones in September are early adopters. Early adopters are likely to wait for the iPhone X. The iPhone 8 isn’t a transformative upgrade over the 7, and the 7 now costs $100 less than it did before. Simple enough. But I’m someone who buys a new iPhone every year, for my sins, and while you’d think that would put me in the category of people who’d be holding out for the X, I actually bought an iPhone 8 Plus last month instead. This isn’t because of price — I’d spend the extra on the X if I were sure I’d like it better. The thing is, much as I do enjoy new, intriguing, shiny objects, I’m pretty sure I’ll like the 8 Plus better as a phone in the end. Here’s why. Display This is the big one, quite literally. I’ve seen a lot of people assume the X will be an unambiguous slam dunk in this regard, saying the device has a bigger screen than the iPhone 8 Plus in a body close to the size of the regular iPhone 8. But this isn’t really true, and I think a lot of people used to the Plus-sized iPhones will be disappointed with the X in practice. Yes, the iPhone X has a screen compared to the iPhone 8 Plus’ display. It’s also true that the X’s is higher resolution. But the 8 Plus’ screen is actually bigger. The X uses a narrower aspect ratio, so while it’s longer on the diagonal, you still get more surface area on the Plus overall — and that’s before you account for the notch and the rounded corners. I know, comparing screen sizes isn't what it used to be. But the bottom line is that the Plus will display more useful content at once, even with its lower resolution. It’s wider as you hold it in portrait, which is why Apple introduced a new size class for app layouts when the iPhone 6 Plus first came out. Apps, websites, and so on have 414 horizontal “points” — the unit of measurement that the screen is divided into for design purposes — to fill on the Plus, while the X has 375, the same as the regular iPhone 8. The X has more vertical points, of course, because of the taller screen, but a lot of that will be occupied by the notch and home button bar. What this means is that apps on the X will use the same basic layouts as the iPhone 8, not the Plus. You'll get more vertical content in portrait mode, but in landscape mode you'll actually see less vertical screen space than even the smaller 8 because of how developers need to avoid the virtual home button bar as well as the notch. You won't get the Plus' iPad-style multi-panel views, either. And how long will it take before all your apps get updated for the X in the first place? I'm still using several that never got updated for the iPhone 6. The X’s screen may well be better quality — we’ll have to see how Apple’s first attempt at an OLED phone turns out, but I have high hopes for the panel itself. Obviously, there’s also no denying that the X makes far better use of available space; the iPhone 8 Plus’ chunky bezels are pretty anachronistic for a phone at this price in 2017. But I’m too used to the Plus layouts, and the accompanying information density, to go back to what’s often going to feel like a smaller phone in actual use. Video is also a concern with the X. When watching regular 16:9 content, the notch and aspect ratio mean that you’re either going to have a lot of wasted space, or things are going to look weird. (Granted, the X will possibly be better for viewing wider cinematic content, in case you do feel like watching Lawrence of Arabia on the bus.) This morning I caught up on the weekend’s Premier League action on my 8 Plus, for example. I wouldn’t really want to do that on anything smaller, but coupled with the much-improved speakers it’s a great experience on the Plus. As with TVs, it turns out that a big 1080p 16:9 rectangle is the best and most reliable way to show the majority of video content out there. Touch ID I expect Face ID to work very well on the X. I doubt Apple would launch it otherwise, considering the inevitable backlash that would follow — the company doesn’t want a repeat of the Apple Maps fiasco, where it removed a critical feature of the iPhone and replaced it with something much worse. But that doesn’t mean I particularly want to use Face ID. There could be some technical issues to iron out at launch, and even if there aren’t, it’s just another thing to figure out and get used to without any immediate advantages. (I’m not sure Animoji counts.) Apple itself fell foul of this when it announced Face ID, as Craig Federighi couldn’t log into his demo unit on stage after the authentication had been reset. The system was working as intended, but that's kind of the point — if it's able to trip up even Apple's tightly managed press events, it’s going to take a minute for regular users to learn what to expect. Meanwhile, Touch ID works on the iPhone 8 Plus the same way it always has. It’s fast, reliable, and you know what you’re doing when you activate it. I’m happy to continue using it while iPhone X owners work through any Face ID kinks. Design Okay, so Apple saying the iPhone 8 has a “new design” stretches the boundaries of belief as much as it did when Apple said the same thing about the iPhone 7. This is still very much a tweaked iPhone 6. But what matters is what you think of the tweaks. I really like the tweaks. The glass back feels great, and while Apple is very late to wireless charging, I’m glad it’s here now. I’m also very into the new “gold” colorway, which is more like copper on the sides and cream on the back — it feels like something a ’70s Bond villain would use. The grey and white versions, too, look appealingly minimalist in a way that the 6 never did. To be clear, the iPhone X is the more attractive and beguiling device. I even thought as much of the knockoff models I found at a tech market in Shenzhen last month. But the 8 makes a statement of its own, giant bezels and all. That statement is “I’m comfortable with what most phones are like today, and I want the ultimate one of those.” Price This isn’t a huge concern to me because I split phone costs over 24 months, so the X would be less than $10 a month extra. But that adds up, of course — $200 is $200, even if you aren’t paying upfront. And if you are, you'd have to really want the X. Availability Even if you’ve read all of the above and still want an iPhone X, good luck actually getting one. Supply chain reports suggest that Apple is only able to produce the device in alarmingly low quantities, meaning that you could be waiting for several months before you’re able to pick one up. If you use a phone for several years, that’s less of an issue. But if you buy a phone every year or two? Waiting is going to take a serious chunk out of the amount of time you’ll spend with this one. You can walk into an Apple store right now and buy a phone with the same software, processor, primary camera, and wireless charging support, along with a more useful screen, more familiar method of biometric authentication, and way hotter color scheme, for hundreds of dollars less than the X. I understand the desire to have the cool new thing — believe me, I’m usually the first to fall victim to it. But when I laid it out like this in my head, I surprised myself by finding it really hard to justify the X. Your needs and desires may differ, and that’s totally fine. If you're sure your next smartphone has to be an iPhone, I would just advise you to consider the 8 Plus as the X preorder frenzy begins this week — it’s not exciting, but it might be better for you. When you buy an iPhone X, you’re buying into Apple’s vision for the future of the smartphone. When you buy an iPhone 8, you’re buying the best version of the present. The former is more exciting, but if you need a new phone today, the latter may prove to be more pragmatic. Like Nilay said: it's an iPhone. Next year's iPhone X-2 Plus, though? Count me in.
