The latest is chip is supposed to be 25% faster on single-core and 80% on multi-core operations, yet Nilay Patel who is himself an Apple fan noted that there is very little difference in speeds when using an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 8. Do not be a fool, iPhones are fast, but Apple claiming each generation is massively faster is just marketing bull.

As the iPhone 8 camera is not that much different to the previous ones and that was not a class-leading camera by a long way, it is hard to believe that it will be as good as, let alone better than even the existing leaders.

                    Yes the A11 chip is a beast.. But is it the only thing that matters? Phone is ugly, iOS is limited, no fast/wireless charger bundled, no 3.5mm jack, obsolete lcd display, same 3 years old mediocre camera and on top of that, ridiculous pricing.. LOL at this joke of a phone.. It's 6 core beast is tied up it can't even convert an mp3 into a ringtone

                              Sorry to tell you but according comparison photos for these reviews, iPhone 8 camera is better than Note 8 and pixel.

                              For example look this https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/n13ZxsobVOZYzy8j1unms-f2VpA=/1600x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/9275085/jbareham_170915_2000_Samsung_S8_0013.jpg

                              Vs this

                              https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/_KigWKxGd0QR_9q2G92gIGKwGbY=/1600x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/9275083/jbareham_170915_2000_iPhone_8Plus_0027.jpg

                              Why the guy on S8 photo is yellow? Also look the text on the photo how sharp it is with iPhone 8, and If this wasnÂ’t enough look the sky, which well S8 photo doesnÂ’t even have, itÂ’s just white.

Please don't talk about Camera.
