The most obvious difference is the size of the phones, with iPhone 8 measuring in at 4.7-inches and iPhone 8 Plus at 5.5. The displays differ slightly in that iPhone 8 Plus has a higher pixel resolution than 8, making the images on screen appear exceptionally clear.
iPhone 8 Plus was the most powerful and feature-rich iPhone in 2017, but Apple have been busy since then, and 2019's release showcases some serious advances in tech.

iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 11 Pro Max are almost exactly the same size, but iPhone 11 Pro Max's beautiful OLED display is a full inch bigger than the LCD screen on the older model.
Two years is a long time in phone technology, so the iPhone 8 was always likely to outclass the iPhone 6s. With its latest range, however, Apple is really setting out its vision for the future.

In general, any case that fits the iPhone 6 Plus should also fit the iPhone 6s Plus just fine. The iPhone 7 Plus will technically fit as well, though the cutouts won't line up, so live a little and get a dedicated 7 Plus case. And be sure to check the case manufacturer's website for phone compatibility.
Best answer: Unfortunately, no, you can't use your old iPhone case with an iPhone 11. The iPhone 11 has a brand new dual rear camera setup that means that old cases won't fit.
The good news is if you snap an iPhone XR into an iPhone 11 case, it'll fit with no worries, and that includes support for the Apple Smart Battery Case.
Displays: Both the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus have 5.5-inch LCD displays—called Retina HD Displays—with 1920×1080 resolution. Nearly all other display tech specs are identical, including a 1300:1 contrast ratio, 3D Touch, Wide Color (P3) support, and 625 cd/m2 max brightness.
Best answer: In a pinch, you can use your old iPhone XS/XS Max case with the iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max. However, because of how the back cameras are designed on the newer model, it's not recommended as a long-term solution.
The display on these phones is a matter of size versus detail. The iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch screen, filling the front of the phone's body, and providing more usable space in apps. The iPhone 8 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen, which isn't especially big by today's standards.
Best answer: Unfortunately, no, you can't use your old iPhone case with an iPhone 12. The design on the new phone doesn't match that of your old iPhone 11. Instead, you'll need to get something like the iPhone 12 Clear Case with MagSafe from Apple.
If you're upgrading from the original iPhone SE, your case will most definitely not fit. The iPhone SE (2020) features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display. If you're upgrading from an iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, or iPhone 8, you're in luck. Your old case will, most likely, fit the iPhone SE 2020.
iPhone 7 Plus (6.23 x 3.07 x 0.29 in) = iPhone 8 Plus (6.24 x 3.07 x 0.30 in).
The technical specifications on Apple's website for the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 7 (including all the Plus models), suggest they have they exact same dimensions. The buttons are all in the same place, and despite the lack of a 3.5mm jack for analog headphones, your old case should, theoretically, fit the new model.
Yes! The dimensions for some iPhone models only differ by 0.1-0.2 mm which allows the same case to fit multiple iPhone models perfectly! Below you can see which cases are compatible with each other: 6 / 6S, 7, 8 and SE (2020)
The iPhone 6s has the same form factor as its predecessor the iPhone 6, except that it is 0.01 inches thicker and wider. This increase is so minor that it should not affect cases, but just to be sure you may want to check with the manufacturer.
iPhone 6s Dimensions: 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mmThe iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s are remarkably similar in the way they look; they have the same size display (4.7in), the same display spec, and similar camera modules (single 8MP sensor). Visually, the phones look almost identical.
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus each have an identical "FaceTime HD" camera on their respective fronts. This camera has a 7 megapixel sensor, an f/2.2 aperture, and records 1080p HD video.

iPhone 7 Plus may look like a larger version of iPhone 6s – but there are many differences besides screen size, including some serious upgrades. Apple's first quad core chip, it's 40% faster than the A9 featured in iPhone 6s. A new 'Taptic Engine' brings improvements to the 3D touch functionality of iPhone 7 Plus, too.
