The annual Apple iPhone update is always a hotly anticipated event, and this year was no different – bringing new, fully numbered mainline smartphone updates in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, as well as an overhauled, higher-spec, 10th anniversary-celebrating iPhone Xfor the larger of wallet.
Apple unveiled the exciting but extremely expensive iPhone X on 12 Sept, but before it got to that the company also revealed 2017's more prosaic smartphone update: the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
With Samsung's Galaxy S9 not dropping till next spring, can Apple's latest establish itself as the de facto high-end smartphone before Christmas? Or will the glare of the shiny iPhone X distract its own established fans? We've had a few weeks with the iPhone 8 Plus to find out.
Compared to the X, with its fairly radical redesign, the 8 and 8 Plus run the risk of looking a little dull, a bit been-there-done-that. But is that a fair assessment of Apple’s latest iPhone iteration, or is X-envy masking a solid step forward for Cupertino?
Like its smaller non-Plus sibling, the design of the iPhone 8 Plus has barely changed since it was introduced in 2014 with the iPhone 6 Plus, but it has aged worse. The iPhone 6 Plus was thin but relatively wide and tall for a smartphone with a 5.5in screen in 2014, with big bezels and a chunky top and bottom.
