At first glance, the iPhone 8 doesn't look that different from the iPhone 7, but if you take a closer look, you'll find some important differences. However, if you already have an iPhone 7 or 8, the question remains: Or if you are looking to buy one of these iPhones today, which one should you go for? Let's find out how to measure the two devices.
Performance, Battery life, And Charging
The biggest improvement in the iPhone 8 is the A11 Bionic chip. Compared to the iPhone 7's A10 chip, it offers 30 percent more efficiency and 50 percent more performance, according to Apple. But we don't think you'll notice the difference very often, as we've never found the iPhone 7 lacking in processing power. It is quite fast.
As for RAM, Apple rarely lists it as a spec, but the two phones we know of pack 2GB, which is more than enough to run iOS. There's still a debate about how much RAM a smartphone needs, but that's certainly not a differentiator here. (iPhone 8) is the base storage capacity. It comes in 64GB and 256GB configurations. (iPhone 7) comes with 32GB, 128GB, or 256GB.
The latest A11 chip is 30 percent more energy efficient than its predecessor, as Apple has reduced the size of the iPhone 8's battery. It sports a 1,821mAh battery, compared to the iPhone's 1,960mAh battery. 7. Apple says it should last as long as the iPhone 7's battery, but we've found it actually lasts a bit longer. The iPhone 8 has slightly better battery life than its predecessor, but no
Design And Durability
You will have to look very closely to notice any difference in the design of these two phones. The most obvious change is that Apple has switched back to glass for the iPhone 8. It's 10 grams heavier and fractionally larger in every direction, but the iPhone 7 cases still come close to matching the iPhone 8.
In terms of durability, both phones are IP67 rated, so they can survive up to one meter of water for 30 minutes. Apple says the iPhone 8's glass back is durable, but we think it's still more likely to crack and break than the iPhone 7's metal back.

At 4.7 inches, the iPhone 7 and 8's displays are among the smallest, but Apple sticks with a 1334 x 750-pixel resolution. Both phones support 3D Touch and a wide color gamut, with the iPhone 8's only quirk being that it has a true-to-tone display that matches the perfect color tone to your environment.

On a white background, there's little difference between the iPhone 8's cameras and the iPhone 7's. Apple says the iPhone 8 camera is slightly better than the iPhone 7 camera, given a larger and faster sensor that can capture more light. (iPhone 8) is also capable of shooting 4K video at 60 frames per second, while (iPhone 7) is limited to 30 fps. Slow motion also wins as you can now capture video in 1080p at 240 fps.
Software And Updates

The iPhone 8 shipped with iOS 11, and has since been updated to iOS 12. However, iPhone 7 owners can upgrade to Apple's latest platform and get all the same benefits. Although the iPhone 8 may take a little longer to update than the iPhone 7, we expect both phones to continue receiving iOS updates in the coming years.
