Apple launched the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in September at the inaugural event held at the Steve Jobs theatre. Following Apple's previous naming schemes for the iPhone, there's an argument to suggest these devices should have been christened with the 7s monik...

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...

The new iPhones are powered by Apple's A11 Bionic processor, a hexa-core chipset consisting of four high-efficiency cores and two high-performance cores. This is the same chipset that also powers the iPhone X, so you're not missing out on anything on the...

If you own an iPhone 7, there's absolutely no need to upgrade this year, but if you're using an older-generation iPhone, such as the 6 or 6s, you'll definitely notice the difference with the 8. While there are plenty of excellent Android options available...

If you expect your yearly smartphone upgrade to include a few significant advantages over last year's model, the iPhone 8 may disappoint. If you're not one to upgrade your device year-on-year, the iPhone 8 might be the best smartphone you can buy right no...
You'll need to make your own mind up about this one, since it's a refined smartphone but a lacklustre upgrade. Had Apple included a fast charger and maybe some form of wireless charging pad, it would have matched the 8/10 awarded to last year's iPhone 7 P...

Glass meets glass in our next comparison where it is the LG G6's turn to shine. While its 2016-grade chipset hardly compares against the blazing Bionic processor of the iPhone 8, the G6 one ups Apple's handset with a dual camera, a taller, high-res displ...

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...
