    iPHONE 8 AND 8 PLUS REVIEW: DON’T OVERLOOK THIS SPEEDY UPGRADE.

    by Leah Yamshon Nov 29, 2017 10 minutes

    Apple releases a new iPhone every September, and it’s a given that it will be the best iPhone ever. But what do you do when the company announces not one, not two, but THREE new iPhones? How do you rank them and decide which one is the actual best iPhone ever, especially when they don’t all go on sale at the same time?
