Did Apple actually put different hardware and/or software in the 8+ vs the 8, or are we seeing the inevitable result of random hardware variation accounting for a 2 point swing? Has anyone run an objective test on, say, ten iPhone 8 units vs 10 iPhone 8+ units? Other than Apple?

Yes, the 8+ for whatever reason has a more premium camera

the 8+ has 2x optical zoom via the second sensor, that's the only real difference

  The second lens also enables the "bokeh".

    I have to wonder if adding the IR thingamabob they use for facial recognition to the rear camera would help improve the out of focus blurring since the dot array would help the phone figure out rough distances of items in the frame.
