RefurbStore's independent expert review
Overall Score: 3.7/5
The iPhone 8, launched by Apple in September 2017, marks a significant step forward in the company's smartphone line, blending a comfortable size with powerful internals and a solid camera. It introduces wireless charging to the iPhone series and a glass back, a departure from the aluminum bodies Apple had been using since the iPhone 5.
Price: 3/5
In the current market, the iPhone 8 is not the most affordable choice, especially when considering its age. While it does offer some premium features, budget-conscious consumers might find better value in newer, competitively priced models from Apple or other brands.
Camera: 4/5
The iPhone 8 comes with a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 7-megapixel front camera. The cameras perform well in various lighting conditions, providing sharp and vibrant images. It might not have the advanced cameras of the latest iPhones, but it still holds its own for casual photographers or social media enthusiasts.
Power: 4.5/5
Powered by Apple's A11 Bionic chip, the iPhone 8 provides impressive performance. The device handles everyday tasks and gaming smoothly, and it's compatible with the latest iOS updates. Despite being a few years old, it still offers a robust and responsive user experience.
