          Apple iPhone 8 vs Apple iPhone X - User Opinions

          • grover_feest

            While iPhone 8 comes in three colours and iPhone X offers just two choices, iPhone X has a larger screen, better display, more powerful cameras and a longer lasting battery. The two phones also differ in the looks department, with iPhone X ditching the home button in favour of a new facial recognition feature.
