The iPhone 8 is a fraction bigger than its predecessors, but close enough that iPhone 7 cases fit perfectly. The big change is that the aluminum back has given way to glass, making it slightly heavier in hand – 10 grams heavier to be precise. We’re told that it’s the most durable glass ever, but iPhone 8 cases are advisable to avoid expensive repairs.

You have a choice of three colors: Silver, Gold, and Space Gray. At first glance, the Space Gray appears black, but look closer and you’ll see that the glass is tinted dark gray. The Silver is much as you’d expect, and the Gold has a peachy tint to it.

The ugly antenna bands have been reduced to small strips at the top and bottom of each side. You’ll find the power button and SIM card tray on the right spine, and the volume controls and switch on the left. The Lightning port on the bottom edge is flanked by a speaker and microphone, and there’s nothing up top. There’s no triumphant return for the 3.5mm audio port, but Apple includes a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter in the box
mirrored Apple logo sits front and center on the back of the phone, and the camera and flash jut out from the top left. This “camera bump” is another reason to invest in a case, otherwise the iPhone is always resting on the camera when you lay it down on its back.

The iPhone 8 feels solid and expensive, slightly more so than the iPhone 7. It’s a comfortable size to slip into a pocket and it’s one of the best phones on the market for easy one-handed operation.

Apple has refined this design over the last three years, so it’s highly polished. But familiarity breeds contempt, and when you look at the front of the iPhone 8, it’s hard not to feel some disappointment at just how familiar it is.
The fact that Apple is buying into the bezel-less trend in such a big way with the iPhone X makes the big bezels on the iPhone 8 harder to explain. For innovation in design and display over the last couple of years, you must look to Apple’s main rival, Samsung, because it popularized edge-to-edge screens and OLED technology. And it was LG that pioneered the elongated aspect ratio that makes larger screens manageable one-handed.

When Apple jumped onboard with these trends, it tacitly admitted that the iPhone 8 design is out of date. The main refinement on the front of the iPhone since the iPhone 6 came out is the evolution of the home button, but it remains unchanged from the iPhone 7. While TouchID continues to work extremely well, we would have liked to see more focus on the screen.
Just look at the numbers. The iPhone 8 measures 5.45 × 2.65 inches, but it only has a 4.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1,334 × 750 pixels. The Galaxy S9, by contrast, measures a very comparable 5.81 × 2.7 inches, yet manages to pack in a 5.8-inch display with a resolution of 2,960 × 1,440 pixels. In case you’re wondering, the iPhone X measures 5.65 × 2.79 inches, and also has a 5.8-inch display, but with a resolution of 2,436 × 1,125 pixels.
The only real boost to Apple’s IPS LCD is the addition of True-Tone technology which is designed to tweak the look based on the lighting of your environment to ensure colors are consistent. But it’s tough to see any real difference without holding an iPhone 7 next to it.

Having said all that, the iPhone 8’s display is bright, legible in a variety of lighting conditions, and probably the best IPS LCD around. It’s comfortable to read on for long periods, movies and games look detailed, and iOS 11 looks great. But, ultimately, it’s simply not as sharp as virtually every other display in this price bracket, and it has some of the biggest bezels around.

One welcome improvement is the updated stereo speakers, which make the phone 25 percent louder than the iPhone 7. There’s a bit more bass and it sounds great for a phone, but most people will still want to use headphones. We’re pleased to see Apple has added Bluetooth 5 support, so if you go the wireless route, you’ll find it’s better, faster, and supports a longer range than Bluetooth 4.2 in the iPhone 7.
