I currently own a 7 and am looking to upgrade, mainly for dual lens camera and portrait mode. Is there anything the XS camera can do that the 8+ can’t do if it’s updated to iOS 12?
 
Specifically: Smart HDR. You won’t find this feature on an 8+, regardless of iOS version. Smart HDR provides a few advantages, particularly in situations with less-than-ideal lighting (for example, a bright light source behind your subject).

Generally: the XS should take better pictures thanks to its significantly larger sensor. Expect considerably superior low-light performance.
