Camera centric site DxOMark have now ranked the Apple iPhone 8 Plus at 94 while the iPhone 8 is 92, knocking down the previously ranked 90 HTC U11. The larger sensor in the iPhone 8 Plus apparently provides better photos for a top Photo score of 96 but perhaps not so much for video at 89. The single camera iPhone 8 performs just as well but isn't as good at zoom and bokeh as the bigger iPhone.

In related news, the folks at iFixit have done an Apple iPhone 8 teardown, giving it a repairability score of 6, down 1 point from the 7 that the iPhone 7 got last year. While the battery and screen are fairly easy to access the water and dust resistant sealing makes repairs complicated while the glass back is significantly more difficult to repair than its predecessor.
