The iPhone 8 is finally here -- and by here, we mean you can go and buy it in a store.。

But is this the iPhone you've been waiting for? Or will you wait until Nov. 3 for the far more daring, big-screened, bezel-free iPhone X? It's a tough decision; but a new iFixit teardown of the iPhone 8 (its bigger sibling, the iPhone 8 Plus, will come later) might help you make up your mind. 。

Not all news is good, either. The iPhone 8's battery has a little less juice than the battery inside its predecessor -- 6.96 watt-hours vs. 7.45 watt-hours, although according to Apple this should not result in worse battery life. And, on the whole, the iPhone 8 is a little bit harder to repair, though removing the display and the battery is doable, if not exactly easy. 。
