• Pros of iPhone 8:

• Cons of iPhone 8:

 

Battery Life: Not terrible but battery size means it may not run as long as newer models with larger batteries.

 

No future over network: No support for 5G so no future proof over evolving networks.

 

Small screen: Some users may want even more screen, particularly next to newer iPhones with edge-to-edge OLED displays.

 

Touch ID vs Face ID: Uses Touch ID for security, which may feel dated to some users in comparison with newer Face ID tech

 

Missing Dual-Camera System: Unlike the iPhone 8 Plus and later models, it doesn\’t have a dual-camera system for enhanced photography features.

 

• Final Verdict:

 

“The iPhone 8 delivers fast performance, solid camera quality and good battery life in an appealing and familiar design. It may not have some of the latest tech, from OLED displays to Face ID to 5G, but it does still deliver a reliable, still-capable smartphone experience for people who want a smaller device and don\’t need the latest and greatest. Its fast charging, wireless charging, etc.

 

h with fantastic software support is great if you spend a good amount of your computing time on a smartphone.
