(No word on why they mysteriously skipped the model 9, though.) As expected, Apple fans and critics were out in full force to eat up every last bite of the livestreamed announcement. The internet quickly digested the information, and spat it back out in the form of… meme responses, of course. While the iPhone 8 is quite similar to the iPhone 7, it changes things up with [a glass back](http://time.com/4938086/iphone-8-glass-break/) and wireless charging, plus other technical upgrades. The iPhone X, meanwhile, stands out for its Face ID unlocking technology, edge-to-edge OLED screen and $999 price tag. Here’s how people are comparing the two. > [](https://twitter.com/%5Fsmileyallie/status/907679977755348997) > [](https://twitter.com/InternetPalace/status/907680092029116417) > [](https://twitter.com/JamesTDouglas/status/907673574458249218) > [](https://twitter.com/dbaron46/status/907681398978379776) > [](https://twitter.com/AustinCTweets/status/907682387693375488) > [](https://twitter.com/blaquepink/status/907684775787470848) > [](https://twitter.com/zanelowe/status/907678418250063872) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4938371/iphone-8-iphone-x-memes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4938371/iphone-8-iphone-x-memes/"},"headline":"The Internet Is Having a Hilarious Time With These iPhone 8 vs. iPhone X Memes","datePublished":"2017-09-12T19:38:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:10.818Z","description":"The internet had a lot of fun creating memes to represent the battle between Apple iPhone 8 and Apple iPhone 10.","url":"https://time.com/4938371/iphone-8-iphone-x-memes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Apple","Gadgets","viral","iPhone","iPhone 2017"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9dc72aeacd40150/6988dd7dfb4eac5a42893b16/iphone-8-x112.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf9dc72aeacd40150/6988dd7dfb4eac5a42893b16/iphone-8-x112.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"iphone-8-x112","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4938371/iphone-8-iphone-x-memes/","name":"The Internet Is Having a Hilarious Time With These iPhone 8 vs. iPhone X Memes"}}]}] ```
