iPhone 8 review: Is this older iPhone worth it in 2019?

iPhone 8 review: It looks like every one of its precursors, save for its glass back, wireless charging and a beefier processor, but is that still enough?

Great camera;Blazingly fast;Colourful display;Wireless charging is a nice extra

Dated design;Battery life could be better;That huge bezel

iPhone 8 review

Apple's iPhone 8 isn't the newest Apple phone on the market, but it remains a solid pick if you don't want to pay skyrocketing flagship prices.

Wireless charging is useful Glass rear is pleasing in the hand Camera is great at point-and-shoot

Limited upgrade over iPhone 7 Bezel-heavy design looks dated Battery only just lasts a day

Don’t let the iPhone 8 name fool you – this is very much the iPhone 7S, an incremental upgrade on the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 with a few additions here and there, but nothing to really wow you next to other smartphones in 2018.

Apple iPhone 8 hands on

Apple's recent launch was dominated by the iPhone X, but an iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were also on the menu. We took the smaller handset of the two for a quick spin...

Apple iPhone 8 review: Still a powerful choice

Does the iPhone 8 have what it takes to be your next smartphone - or should you opt for one of the X models?

Small size has added appeal in among typically larger phones ; Wireless charging thanks to new glass back design ; Dust- and water-resistant ; Powerful innards

Lacks iPhone 8 Plus' camera skills ; Need separate cable for Quick Charge ; Glass makes it prone to drop damage ; The familiar design looks dated

The iPhone 8 is small, compact, powerful, and will deliver a perfect phone experience for many, especially those that aren’t fussed with all the latest and greatest features, new design and the costs associated with them.

Apple iPhone 8 review

X marks the spot for Apple's future, but the iPhone 8 is a safer – and surprisingly impressive – option

Blazingly fast ; Camera borders on excellent ; Great build that feels solid ; Speakers are surprisingly good

Pricey ; Design is effectively four years old ; Camera bump still irks ; No headphone port

You think you know what you’re getting, but the iPhone 8 offers quite a bit more. There’s no getting round its highish price and dated design though
