| List of iPhone models |
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They were announced on September 12, 2017,[3] alongside the higher-end iPhone X at the Steve Jobs Theater in the Apple Park campus by Apple CEO Tim Cook, and were released on September 22, 2017,[4] succeeding the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Besides the addition of a glass back, the design of the iPhone 8 is largely similar to that of its predecessor. Notable changes include the addition of wireless charging, a faster processor, and improved cameras and displays.
Reception of the phone was mixed, with reviewers praising the addition of wireless charging and the new Apple A11 processor, while also criticizing its aging design and lack of new features introduced.
Specifications[edit]
Hardware[edit]
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus retain the Retina HD Display found in the iPhone 7, but they now have True Tone technology, which also can be found on the iPad Pro and the higher-end iPhone X.
The iPhone 8 features the same camera as its predecessor, but with a new sensor. The iPhone 8 Plus also features the same two cameras as the iPhone 7 Plus, but with some improvements. Both phones have a 12 MP wide-angle camera with six-element lens, autofocus, IR filter, burst mode, f/1.8 aperture, digital image stabilization, and optical image stabilization. It can record 4K video at 24, 30, or 60 fps or 1080p at 30 or 60 fps, and slow-motion video (1080p at 120 or 240 fps), timelapse with stabilization. It can capture panoramas as well. The 8 Plus is also accompanied by a telephoto lens with 2× optical zoom and 10× digital zoom, Portrait Lighting (beta), and a f/2.8 aperture. The quad-LED True Tone flash now has Slow Sync as well.[5] DxOMark gave the camera on the iPhone 8 a rating of 92 (up from 85 on the 7), and the 8 Plus a rating of 94 (up from 88 on the 7 Plus). For a short time, the 8 Plus was the highest ranked phone they tested, along with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.[6][7] They were soon overtaken by the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, which scored a 98.[8]
Both models have a 7 MP FaceTime HD camera with a f/2.2 aperture. It can capture in burst mode, it has exposure control, face detection, auto-HDR, auto image stabilization, Retina flash, and 1080p HD video recording.[5] The iPhone 8 contains the Apple A11 Bionic SoC, which is a hexa-core processor using the 10nm process.[5]
Both iPhones come with 64 and 256 GB options.[9] There are three color options: Silver, Gold and Space Gray.[9]
The iPhone 8 features Qi-standard wireless charging and is rated IP67 for water resistance.[10] The phone has a glass back instead of the complete aluminum housing found on the iPhone 5 onwards, making it the first to do so since the iPhone 4S in 2011.
Software[edit]
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus shipped with iOS 11.0 on launch.
Reception[edit]
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus received mixed reviews from critics.[11][12] Reviewers praised the speed of its processor, the updated camera, and the inclusion of non-proprietary wireless charging.[13] However, the iPhone 8 was criticized for its aging design and thick bezels dating back from 2014, while several competing smartphones had moved to nearly bezel-less designs to incorporate larger screens in a similar form factor to the iPhone 8 Plus, including Apple's upcoming iPhone X.[14][15][16]
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were also criticized for their durability, as drop tests performed by reviewers showed that the rear glass on the 8 and 8 Plus is not "the most durable glass ever in a smartphone", as claimed by Apple. Rival phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 were deemed to be superior in this area.[17][18]
Sales[edit]
Although Apple has yet to release official sales information, initial reports indicate that sales have been very low and that more people are buying its predecessor instead.[19][20] This has resulted in a drop in Apple's shares.[21]
