At the time of writing the article, the whole process was still ongoing, and new images and information appeared on the website every moment. If you come across this article later, everything will most likely already be done.
Not much has changed compared to last year's model. There is also not much room for any modifications, as the entire internal layout is almost identical to the one in the iPhone 7. The biggest change is the new battery, which has a slightly lower capacity than last year's model. The battery in the iPhone 8 boasts a capacity of 1821mAh, while last year's iPhone 7 had a battery capacity of 1960mAh. Although this is a noticeable reduction, Apple boasts that it did not affect the endurance as such. Reviewers agree with this statement, so there's nothing left but to praise Apple for the great optimization.

Another change occurred in the attachment of the battery, instead of two adhesive tapes, it is now held by four. Small adjustments have also appeared in connection with insulation. In some places, the interior is filled with new plugs to help with better water resistance. The Lightning connector and its fitting are now more reinforced and should thus be more resistant to damage.

Which ultra moron wrote this? Praise epl for reduced battery capacity??? What is he sniffing?
So if he claims (and it's true) that the smaller battery will last longer than the 7, then that's pretty good, because you charge it earlier and it lasts longer than before.
Of course, with a bigger battery it would last even longer ;-). The question then is whether the phone would be too big or too heavy.
For example, I have no complaints about the battery in my 6s.
Apple assumes that you will charge your iPhone more often with QI, a Qi pad at home, on your desk at work, today every second car has a Qi charging compartment, IKEA sells Qi chargers for furniture for a few bucks. Much will depend on the brightness and how much you call, the iPhone has one of the shortest talk times for charging.
