It will certainly be interesting to see if PhoneArena will give the new iPhones higher than an 8 score. Especially when every other sites have given the new iPhone 8's a mediocre score.

The score from those sites is the key for you to decide to buy which phone?! I never look at the score, because I am the one who use it, no one can undertand what I need more than myself. If you believe PhoneArena is more favor to Apple, just don't bother to look at any posts from this site because they are not being fair. Do we have to look at the score from each Windows before we upgrade to it?! Know what, I would test it myself.

Hella boring looking, and the front should've been the same color as the back, but not ugly. After 4 years of the same phone, how can one get excited about it?

6 Plus Pro: new design Con: Bendgate 6S Plus Pro/s: 7000 series aluminium (bye Bendgate), Rose Gold color option Cons: Heavier 7 Plus Pro: Slightly lighter, Jet/Matte Black color options, IP67 cert. Cons: no drastic design change. Jet Black is easy to scratch. Bye Headphone Jack 8 Plus Pro: Glass build acquires Wireless Charging (albeit slow despite competition having Fast Wireless Charging) Con: You have both sides of the phone to break now! And still no design change

They need to come up a reason so they can tell others why they get the new phone... Do I need a reason to get a new phone? No, I don't have any reason because since the first generation of iPhone in 2007, all I have been is email, browser and website... since the app store then i also do gaming... Oh! I have a reason to buy a new phone! I want a new battery LOL

It's a good thing you can buy want you want and nobody forces you to buy anything you don't want. You care about Apple too much, apparently.

They will save that for the iPhone X, the 8 gets a 9.3 at best, same as the last two models.

The new design of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is so on point it deserves that 9.8 rating, man. Outpaces all its competitors from all price ranges.

Computing Forever said it best, run your perfectly usable 6S to the ground before spending any more on someone else's definition of new.

I don't even see why Apple releases this phone. They Should've did a 10, and 10 Plus. This is a simple rehash, glass back, and wireless charging. The glass back is simply the gateway to wireless charging. Hgoering, waddaya think pal?

I would've been fine if they had just one phone in the X, and used the remaining resources to acquire more X parts instead of releasing these two. Although, the camera has surpassed what I expected from preliminary reviews, so it's not all bad. The big/small combo just isn't as attractive in 2017 as it was in 2014.

That would've worked as well, just don't get why this device even exists. Imagine the X only in, 64, 128, 256, and 512.

Ok this being Apple, let us drink the truth that, they have used same design 4 years in a row. But bundling an 5W charger into a premium "priced" smartphone in 2017-18. I cant buy that at all. That is ridiculously cheap call from best company in the world. Seriously they are worst than what I thought them to be.. :(

To me it sounds like they don't know how else to promote this phone. strongest glass? wireless charging which aren't new, and AR stuff? and animoji? let see if this will happening or not, to me it sound s like 'bloatware'. My iPad Pro was buggy after the update, how about yours?

Sorry for the late response, but mine is buggy, and laggy. I figure the next update should fix it, but Apple is know for fixing one thing, and breaking another with updates.

Not a problem bro, everyone has things to do. There some problem like force close an apps like when i play games or just doing some web browsing, and i notice true tone working strange, the screen looks dim instead of changing color.

My main issue is scroll lag. Sometimes I gotta swipe 2-3 times to get a page to scrolling. A couple crashes too, but mostly scrolling issues. I have the 12.9, from last year, so true tone won’t apply to mine.
