You can’t always be king. Just ask Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods or the iPhone 8 Plus. What was once the best, most expensive handset in Apple’s gadget arsenal – the one with a big 5.5in screen and a dual-lens camera – has now been knocked down a spot in the smartphone pecking order. But hey! Let’s look on the bright side here. The iPhone 8 Plus still has all the stuff that made its predecessors so beloved at Stuff HQ, while also being treated to a new glassy design, wireless charging and Apple’s latest superfast A11 Bionic processor. And it hasn’t been implicated in any major doping scandals or personal controversies either, so that’s a bonus. It’s available from £799 for its 64GB from next Friday, 22 September, making it £200 cheaper than the iPhone X.

Rob has written about gadgets for a while now, so his party trick is the ability to name every phone being used in any given train carriage. He can also give you a definitive ranking of Super Mario games if that sounds more interesting. Please don't ask him anything about washing machines though. Or fridge freezers. Or Southampton F.C.'s transfer policy.
