Impression

There are a couple of things that remain same as of iPhone 7 like the design, battery life, no headphone jack and no dual lens. But there are some big changes as well, now it supports wireless charging, fast performance, better screen and better speakers.

iPhone 8 best feature is its new six-core A11 Bionic chip which is also equipped with iPhone X and 8 Plus. If you already have an iPhone 7, it is better not to upgrade to iPhone 8 but if it is your first iPhone experience you can get your hands on to this device. Although I highly recommend you to wait until iPhone 8 Plus arrives in the market.
