It’s the last of its kind, the last to use Apple’s old design language, launched alongside the then subversive iPhone X. Since then Apple has retired the hardware framework used by the iPhone 8 entirely, with 2018’s most ‘basic’ iPhone taking the form of the wholly iPhone XR. Despite the shift in design for this year’s lineup, there’s still plenty of value in 2017’s iPhone 8, more so now perhaps than ever, as its price continues to fall. Today you can pick one up from Apple for £599/$599 and for some, the fact that its the last ‘small’ iPhone is reason enough alone to pick one up. Not to mention it benefits from the speed improvements that the latest iOS 12 brings to the table. iPhone 8 price The most basic iPhone 8 configuration costs £599/$599, while the larger capacity 256GB model sells for £749/$749.

It’s a conventional candy bar touchscreen device with rounded corners and curved edges, although the materials at play here are a little different from that of its progenitor. More in line with most other flagship phones from the last couple of years, the iPhone 8 swaps a metal build for a glass-backed design, while a band of aluminium now runs the phone’s edge, where you’ll find the volume rocker, antennas and lock switch. Moving to a glass back isn’t solely for aesthetics but it certainly doesn’t hurt them.
For one the phone looks and feels more balanced, and although it adds a little weight, it also improves grip, which is no bad thing. The added grams are less welcome on the Plus model but here, it feels just right.

There’s a notable lip between the end of the glass and the start of the metal, and my fingernail often gets caught in it. It’s a minor design quirk, however. The obvious downside with glass is its fragility. The worry here is that a drop that wouldn’t have left any lasting damage on the iPhone 7 will leave the 8 with a seriously cracked rear. For instance, even though the Samsung Galaxy S8 is supposed to benefit from tough Gorilla Glass 5, my device ended life as a glittering mess of glass shards after a 2ft drop onto a wooden floor. Related: Apple Watch 4 review I applaud Apple for switching to glass, but my overall view of the iPhone 8’s design is that it feels dull, predictable and quite some way behind Android flagships.
The trend to trim the bezel surrounding the display – which provides more screen in a smaller body – can be found on the iPhone X and Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup but the iPhone 8 still sports a sizeable bezel and fairly small screen. At least Apple has ensured the iPhone 8 is still IP67-rated for water-resistance, a feature that’s fast-becoming a prerequisite on flagship phones. It also retains the exceptional Taptic engine that provides thoroughly satisfying nudges and buzzes throughout the operating system.

There are three colour options for the iPhone 8 – not the five of the iPhone 7 or XR – but the gold is easily my favourite. This replaces the former gold option and Rose Gold; it’s an amalgamation of both. The glass on the rear of the device possesses a soft, almost ‘creamy’ quality, while the sides are a less vivid pink.
