While the technology has been refined since last year, I still get weird aberrations in about half of photos using the software trickery, with the system struggling to discern what should and shouldn’t be blurred.

It also enables some fancy camera effects Apple calls Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting, which uses depth information and facial mapping to artificially blur the background of a photo or apply different lighting effects to a person’s face. The two cameras work together: one has a standard wide-angle f/1.8 lens (the same as fitted to the iPhone 8), the other has a slower f/2.8 lens with an effective two-times magnification compared to the standard lens.

The iPhone 8 Plus has two improved 12-megapixel cameras on the back, which both have physically larger sensors than last year’s iPhone 7 Plus on which Apple’s dual-camera system was introduced. The camera app has lots of features, but is pretty simple to navigate, scrolling through the various modes. Not a vast amount has changed within iOS 11 compared to last year’s iOS 10, and most of the meaningful things are confined to the iPad.

It’s slower than via cable, and although it will get faster with an update later this year it still won’t match a USB-C charger.

Just put the phone on the right spot and it starts to charge. The glass back enables wireless charging, which is great for charging at your desk or at night on a bedside table. Unfortunately neither the required USB-C to Lightning cable nor a fast charger comes in the box. Now both fast charge from USB-C Power Delivery chargers such as those that come with the Google Pixel or USB-C charged laptops and tablets. The Plus variants of the iPhone have always charged faster than the smaller non-Plus versions, if connected to the right charger. Under lighter use cases I suspect many will manage two days between charges, but it’s worth noting that might not be the case in two years as the battery starts to lose capacity. Samsung’s longest-lasting smartphone in my testing has been the Galaxy Note 8, lasting just over 31 hours between charges. With that level of stamina the iPhone 8 Plus has few rivals.

That’s with hundreds of push notifications, 10 or so photos, a 90-minute burst of Netflix, a couple of short phone calls, a quick game and about 7 hours of listening to Spotify over Bluetooth earbuds. It performed similarly to the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 7 Plus before it in day-to-day activities.īattery life is solid, lasting over 32 hours between charges on average – a increase of 5 hours on the iPhone 7 Plus – meaning that you’ll be able to make it to lunch time the next day if you forget to charge it overnight. The iPhone 8 Plus has the same six-core A11 Bionic processor as its smaller sibling, but has an extra gigabyte of memory to help with multitasking. Connectivity: LTE, Wi-Fiac, NFC, Bluetooth 5, Lightning and GPS.Camera: Dual 12MP rear cameras, 7MP front-facing camera.The 5.5in screen is probably the best-looking LCD I’ve seen and now has Apple’s True Tone system from the iPad that alters the colours of the display based on the ambient light. Despite the glass being more grippy in the hand, and more slippy on the arm of a sofa, most will put it in a case – at which point it’s very difficult to tell that it’s a brand new model. The big change for the iPhone 8 Plus is that its back is made of glass, which inevitably makes it more fragile. No matter how much you might consider the 8 Plus a two-hand device, at some point you will have to use it with one hand and that’s when people tend to drop their smartphones. The wider a phone, the harder it is to hold with one hand. At 78.1mm wide, it’s a whole 10mm wider than the Samsung Galaxy S8 with a 5.8in screen and it’s even 3.3mm wider than the giant Note 8. The biggest issue is the iPhone 8 Plus is very wide and rounded for a device with what is a relatively small screen. At a total weight of 202g the iPhone 8 Plus feels pretty heavy, with only the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 with its colossal 6.3in screen coming anywhere near at 195g. It’s 14g heavier than the iPhone 7 Plus, 10g heavier than the iPhone 6S Plus and 30g heavier than the iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 8 Plus is fractions of a millimetre larger in every direction than the iPhone 7 Plus. At least it comes in black and silver too. It’s a feeling that’s accentuated by the new pinky gold colour, which reminds me of my grandma’s hideous bathroom suite – the kind you have to replace just to sell a house.
