#iphone 7 or iphone 8

It's been ten years since the original iPhone was released, and now in 2017, Apple has made it to eight. As we do with every new generation of Apple mobile devices, the launch of the iPhone 8 begs the question - What has actually changed thus far, since last year's iPhone 7? Aside from the newly improved chipset, the iPhone 8 also has Bluetooth 5.0, which effectively doubles the speed and quadruples the range of Bluetooth 4.2, with lower power consumption. The iPhone 8 is also among the first Apple devices to support the Qi wireless charging standard, which in turn will allow the device to be used with wireless charging docks from third-party manufacturers. This will also be good for wireless charging in general, as the popularity of iPhones can potentially cause a surge in adoption of the technology. One one hand, with the iPhone 8 you do get a brand new chipset with impressive new capabilities, as well as support for wireless charging. But if you don't necessarily need these things, and want to save a sizable chunk of money, the iPhone 7 still holds up pretty well. If you're a first time iPhone buyer or upgrading from an older generation, then it may be worth your while to make the investment.
