IPHONE 8 OVERVIEW

The Apple iPhone 8 might be one of the most expensive flagships out there, but there's nothing in the retail package to suggest that. Inside you'll find the standard-issue 5V/1A charger, a Lightning cable, and a pair of EarPods. The Lighting-to-Analog jack adapter completes the tally.

The iPhone 8 measures 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3mm which is almost a centimeter taller than the 4.6" Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact we recently reviewed. Size-wise, the iPhone 8 is pretty close to the iPhone X league, but that's an entirely different bezel-less league and an even higher price bracket.

Just like the iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone 8 has grown 0.2mm bigger in each direction making old cases barely fitting. It has gained some 10g as well to tip the scales at 148g.

One look and you know it's an iPhone. Whether it's a glass or metal at the back, the signature design is sticking around for a fourth consecutive, though probably final, year. Overused though it may be, it still has the sort of appeal that draws millions of returning users around the world.

Yes, Apple was among the first to introduce a dual-glass chassis with the iPhone 4 and yes, it's among the last to put it back in circulation. The long overdue redesign has finally enabled wireless charging getting rid of the antenna strips in the process.

The iPhone 8 is a familiar sight head on. Relatively big bezels for the screen in between and the signature Home key with Touch ID. The glass is said to be tougher than before but it's not something you can spot, so nothing has really changed at first glance.

Above the 4.7" display, the earpiece also acts as one in a pair of stereo speakers, the FaceTime camera and a couple of sensors also around.

Below the screen is the 3D Touch-enabled Home key complete with a fingerprint sensor.

The silent switch and the volume controls are on the left side as always, while the power key and the SIM slot are on the right.

There is nothing on top of the iPhone 8. The bottom has the Lightning port, the mouthpiece, and the second speaker.
