What CompareTab says about Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs Apple iPhone 18 Pro

Apple iPhone 18 Pro has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over iPhone 8 Plus, with 12 GB of RAM versus 3 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 64 GB, a 4056 mAh battery versus 2691 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (48 MP versus 12 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (18 MP versus 7 MP), and an ultrawide rear camera. Apple iPhone 8 Plus, however, is around $400 cheaper, lighter at 202 g versus 211 g, and thinner at 7.5 mm versus 8.75 mm. The choice comes down to iPhone 18 Pro’s extra RAM, storage, battery capacity, smoother display, and camera features versus iPhone 8 Plus’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
