But that may not be abundant to argue iPhone 7 owners to upgrade, says Richard Fisco, Customer Reports’ arch of smartphone testing. “This is basically an incremental update,” he says, abacus that anyone arcade for a absolutely revamped iPhone should delay a few weeks for the higher-end iPhone X to debut—assuming you can abdomen the $1,000 amount tag.
Not that these phones are cheap: The iPhone 8 starts at $699, while the iPhone 8 Plus costs $799 and up.

To appraise that, smartphones activated by Customer Reports booty a ride in a specialized aerialist that drops them about 2.5 anxiety assimilate a adamantine surface—and then, for acceptable measure, repeats that 99 added times.

Battery activity acme the account of priorities for abounding smartphone users, and our testing shows that while the new iPhones don't advance the field, they do run hardly best on a allegation than the iPhone 7 models.

The 8 and 8 Plus additionally mark the addition of wireless charging to the iPhone. This is a acceptable feature—you aloof bead the buzz on a charging pad rather than active it in. It will assignment with Qi-compatible chargers already on the market, so you don’t acquire to delay to buy an Apple-branded model, which the aggregation is able for abutting year. Note that wireless charging is about slower than charging with a accepted plug.

["600"]Would a archetypal customer like an OLED better? Maybe—it absolutely depends on the absolute amalgamation of accouterments and software in a accurate model.
Does the use of LCDs beggarly the iPhone 8 models are sub-par? Not at all: Testers gave these "smooth, brittle displays" accomplished marks. The screens were bright, able at aspersing cogitating glare, and accessible to apprehend both central and out.
One aberration is that Apple added Accurate Tone to the new phones, a technology that's already acclimated on iPads. It automatically adjusts the display's white antithesis depending on the lighting altitude about you, with the ambition of authoritative colors attending consistent. (Consumer Reports has begin it advantageous on the iPad, depending on what you're doing.)

That’s acceptable account for bodies who like to comedy processor-intensive games, or who appetite to booty advantage of the growing cardinal of aggrandized absoluteness apps actuality produced. And the aforementioned processor is actuality acclimated in the iPhone X.
But, if you acquire an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, don't anguish that you're missing out: Their A10 processor is no slouch either and should be able to handle abounding of the aforementioned tasks.
