differences between iphone 7 vs iphone 8?

[Fessas]

looking to upgrade to the iPhone 7 or 8 in a month or two.

I cant pick the differences between them as they are both "really fast" and 99% of specs are the same.

price is not an issue but $1000aud is my upper most limit

 

here are the links to the site ill purchase from Kogan

I would get a 7 since they're pretty much the same and it's cheaper

If OP has a 1000 AUD budget, might as well go for the 8.

 

What you're suggesting seems to me almost like buying a 7700K instead of an 8700K .

Not technically, the 8700K has 2 extra cores, and given a choice between the two, I would choose the 8700K haha.

But the 8 has wireless charging, better camera, better speakers, faster SOC and overall is better.

The 8 has a better camera, wireless charging, 4k@60 video, Bluetooth 5.0, and a better SoC. If you need 128gb, then get the 7, if 64gb is enough, then get the 8.

this is how I felt at first too, @Crunchy Dragon

 

Can I wireless charge and listen with ear phones at the same time? (while at work at my desk)

 

Note: I'm upgrading from a HTC one M7

If you're waiting a month or two you might be able to find an X for a thousand

You won't find an iPhone X in Australia for $1000. It just won't happen (unless there is some carrier contract promo -- do you have those in Australia? Although even still, you'd probably know about those deals already).

I'm not too clued in on Australian pricing, I know here in Ireland the 8 plus can already be gotten for 200 less than what apple sell it for so I'm expecting the same for the X

I'd choose the X but I like trying new things, the 8 plus is the safer option sticking with a tried and true formula

I'm just going to leave this here: https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-x ($1600/$1800).

Oh shit, I didn't realise it was such a big difference (it's €1180 for the 64gb X here)

I would guess you can, it would be shocking if you couldn't, it seems like something Apple would have thought of
