iPhone X vs. iPhone 8 Plus and 8 vs. iPhone 7 Plus and 7: What’s the difference?
Apple just announced the forthcoming release of the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Here’s how the new models compare to last year’s versions.
After months of rumors and leaks, Apple’s trio of new iPhones were officially announced today at the company’s new Cupertino, Calif., campus: the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X (pronounced “ten”). All three devices share similar features such as running iOS 11 and wireless charging, a first for iPhones.
But Apple made it a point to highlight how the iPhone X, the most expensive of the lineup, differs from other models. For example, the iPhone X has no Home button and instead relies on a new feature called Face ID to unlock the phone with facial recognition.
Read our spec chart below to see exactly how these iPhones differ from one another and from last year’s iPhones, the 7S Plus and the 7S.
