Is it really worth to purchase the new iPhone 8?

I wasn't planning at all to buy a new iphone but I got robbed and lost my iPhone 6s Plus and now that this new generation of iPhones was released, I have the doubt of which iPhone I should buy.
I really love the iPhone 7 design of black matte color and the bad news is that this new iPhone 8 does not has that design. Also I want to ask you if there are any significant differences between the two models.
I really need a new iPhone but i don't know which one I must buy.
Any information or advice?

Can I somehow plug an old corded phone into my iPhone?

So, I have a vintage corded phone. I was wondering if there's adapter that exist that would connect the iPhone and corded phone together. Like for instance if a call came through on my iPhone I could use the corded phone to answer.

I need a good flip phone, any suggestions?

So my phone is on its way out, i have an iphone and with the iphones these days costing more than my computer i honestly can't justify it

How to imessage someone with an Irish cell phone (iphone 6) that is currently in the Us. I'm in the US and have an american iphone

I have an urgent question. I recently met someone that is from Ireland. She is here in the US for a couple weeks. She has an iphone and she gave me her number. I also have an Iphone. I tried sending her multiple texts but the Imessage sign never appears and it keeps on sending as a normal text message (green). I tried calling, but I don't think she got an international plan, so her phone won't be active unless she's in Wi-Fi areas. When I text her iphone should I use international area codes as if I Was calling an international number or should I text it normally as people in ireland would? The structure of the number she gave me was 00353-86-xxx-xxxx. I did some research online and some websites say to use 011 and omit the two zeroes. Her normal phone number are without the two zeroes and without the 86. She's doing alot of traveling so I don't think she will be in alot of Wi-Fi areas. Any advice would help.

Am I the only one who likes the iPhone X?

Ok I feel like I'm the only one who is excited for the iPhone X, I'm an Apple girl and I even pre ordered the 7plus last year and plan on pre order the X. All I see though is people hating on it, it's "too expensive" or "Samsung had this first" so what?! Ya it's 1,000$ but if you make monthly payments like I do it's really not bad at all. Also if you realize that you're paying for a small freaking computer that's can recognize you're face, pay for things, call, text, FaceTime, take amazing pictures, and so many other things the price isn't crazy. I mean look how far we've come with technology, do you really think it's going to stay cheap for the amount of work put into these devices? Last thing, who gives a damn if you have a samsung or Apple product? It's peoples preference and it shouldn't matter what makes them happy so please stop trying to take away peoples excitement just because you don't like it.
