The Conclusion

Its not the iphone v android, its what model iPhone do you want? It has been reigning king for 10 years. Only question to ask your self is what color.

The Look

This is the same design ans size as the previous model. you have seen it, you know it. How do you tell the difference between the 8 and the 7 physically? you want other people to know you are rocking the latest model of the iPhone, don’t you? The glass back design is a dead give away you are a true baller and have the iPhone 8.

Whats New

iPhone 8 Plus has an all-new glass-backed design, along with the same color-matching, 7000 Series aluminum edges and glass front as iPhone 7 Plus. Apple says the rear glass is the strongest glass in any smartphone, with a 50 percent deeper strengthening layer.

A Quicker Performance Boost.

iPhone 8 Plus has Apple’s latest A11 Bionic chip. It has two performance cores that are 25 percent faster, and four high-efficiency cores that are 70 percent faster, than the A10 chip in iPhone 7 Plus. The A11 chip also has a neural engine and a more powerful M11 motion coprocessor vs. M10.

Wireless Charging

iPhone 8 Plus supports wireless charging based on the Qi standard. The device can charge by being placed on an inductive charging pad, such as Apple’s upcoming AirPower mat or third-party options from accessory makers such as Mophie, Belkin, and Incipio. It will not support the non Qi wireless charging systems.. this is not an issue unless you use the Duracell power mat. I will note even on the fastest of wireless chargers its still much faster on the plug, but life is nice when you have options.

All in all, those features make the iPhone 8 Plus a considerable upgrade over the iPhone 7 Plus, which is perhaps why Apple skipped over calling it the iPhone 7s Plus. Alongside the iPhone X, it’s an option worth having.
