Want a big screen iPhone but don't want to pay top dollar for an iPhone XS Max? A discounted iPhone 8 Plus could be the right bargain, and there are plenty of great case options to match.
Not only does the 8 Plus give you lots of iPhone screen real estate, but you get a dual-camera system with extra depth and telephoto lens power plus fun augmented reality features.
But if you're spending hundreds of dollars on a phone with a glass front and back, protect it with a case.
The iPhone 8 Plus ($699.99 at Verizon Wireless) is the same size (but a bit heavier) than the iPhone 7 Plus.
You can still choose from all the cases for that phone, but why not splurge a little? Unlike the iPhone 7 lineup, the iPhone 8 supports wireless charging, which should work with cases up to 3mm thick.
