The difference between iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus

Apple's phablets face off!

Apple threw everyone for a bit of a loop this year when it announced just one flagship iPhone, but two. Not only did Apple unveil the iPhone X, which doesn’t ship until November, the company also revealed the iPhone 8, its successor to last year’s iPhone 7.

And like the iPhone 7 before it, the iPhone 8 also comes in two models, the 4.7in version and the 5.5in Plus version. As usual, Apple is not only selling the iPhone X and iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, but they’ve kept the iphone 5s parts and iPhone 7 Plus on sale too.

And if you're interested in the iPhone X, well, you may have to get in line. According to the WSJ's sources Apple's component supply shortages are still causing headaches; allegedly it's the Face ID 3D scanning camera that's the problem. The tech requires two key components to work in tandem, and one of these components is only being produced to the tune of tens of thousands of units per day. Meanwhile, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes pre-order demand for the iPhone X will top 40-50 million units. The parts supply bottleneck means that the reports corroborate on the idea that Apple may be unable to meet demand until inside 2018.

So now that you have the choice of multiple "Plus" models, just how do the two stack up against each other? We took a look to find out.

When it comes to CPU the iPhone 8 Plus destroys the iPhone 7 Plus. That’s because the iPhone 8 Plus has the A11 Bionic chip with its neural engine. Apple says the chip is a stagger 70% faster than the A10. However, both models are equal in the RAM depart, each having 3GB on offer. When it comes to storage, the iPhone 8 Plus starts at higher tiers, offering 64GB or 256GB. The iPhone 7 Plus is limited to either 32GB or 128GB options.

iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone 7 Plus: Display & Design

On a first glance, the display of each phone looks the same. Each offers a 5.5in Retina HD display with 1920x1080 resolution at 401ppi and each is 3D Touch enabled. However, the iPhone 8 Plus features a True Tone display, which adjusts its color warmth to match that of the room you are in. This gives the iPhone’s screen a more natural, easier on the eyes look.

As for the design, while both iphone parts look roughly the same, the iPhone 8 Plus features a glass back, which gives it a shinier look akin to the iPhone 4. Because of its new glass paneling, the iPhone 8 Plus is just a bit thicker than the iPhone 7 Plus–but only by a few tenths of a millimeter.
