The difference in design between the two being made by the mirror glass present on the back of the new 8 models. A minor design change, but perhaps forced a little by the ability of the iPhone 8 to charge wirelessly. So the second difference from the previous model.
The "mirror" design also comes with a bonus. The fingerprints on the screen will also be present on the back. Jet Black iPhone 7 he is still capable of such a thing. And if we remember, Apple even recommended from iPhone 7 launch event, since 2016, as the Jet Black version it is good to be kept in a protective cover. Preferably leather, produced by Apple.
