Now let’s get into some details and see if which phone is worth buying.

Design and Features

Well speaking of the chassis design both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 are the same, only iPhone X (iPhone 10) has a radical redesign. Whereas the iPhone 8 now features a glass front and back (That means you can now break it from both the sides *Just kidding*). It means it is compatible with wireless charging accessories. Both the smartphones do not have a headphone port and have a solid Home button that buzzes to simulate a click. It helps accidental clicking of the button though.

If you guys are looking for color variety so I would say that iPhone 7 is the right choice for you. It comes in Six colors. Whereas the iPhone 8 is only available in 3 colors.

As mentioned above, the iPhone 8 has a glass back and front design and because of this it will be easily compatible with wireless charging. iPhone 8 uses Qi, so it will work perfectly fine with accessories certified with it.

Detailed Specification

Our Suggestion

As we know what the ‘X’ in the iPhone X means i.e is EXPENSIVE. Kidding guys. iPhone X is an exciting but is very expensive. Instead, we are looking for something lower down the Apple ladder.

iPhone 7 has not become obsolete yet. It is still an amazing phone and has an attractive design. iPhone 8 has a faster processing chip A11. You won’t be able to see the benefits yet but surely you will as time passes. So if you guys are willing to pay a bit more for new iPhone so you are more than welcome in buying it. But the guys who are not yet ready to accept the fact that iPhone 7 is old, may buy iPhone 7 and have fun.
