Apple now sells three premium iPhone models for the first time in the product's history.
So, which should you buy? The iPhone 8? 8 Plus? X?
I've used all three models extensively. Here's how they compare.
If you ask me, I think the iPhone X is much better than the iPhone 8.
The iPhone X nails it across the board.
It has the perfect form factor, thanks to its large screen and minimized footprint. The iPhone 8 design feels stale and outdated as it enters its fourth year.
The iPhone X also represents exciting features that will become standard in smartphones over the next several years like facial recognition, super high-res displays, and advanced cameras.
The iPhone 8 is still a great phone, and you won't be disappointed if you buy one. But if you want the best of the best, the iPhone X is the clear winner.
The iPhone 8 starts at $699 (64 GB model). The iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799 (64 GB model).
The iPhone X is expensive. It starts at $999 for the 64 GB model. The 256 GB model costs $1,149.
The iPhone 8 only has one camera lens. The 8 Plus has two lenses, but doesn't have dual optical image stabilization.
The iPhone X's rear cameras take great photos. Both lenses have optical image stabilization, which means it takes better shots in low-light environments while minimizing the "shaky cam" effect.
The iPhone 8 still has a home button with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
