iPhone 8
September 22, 2017
The new iPhone 8 includes all the features that come with the new IOS 11 update, and even more! A new design, camera, chip and way of charging, sets the iPhone to a new standard.
An all-glass design may seem like a risky move, but the water and dust resistant glass is the strongest ever to be used in a smartphone. Charging with an annoying wire is also a thing of the past with an all glass back! These phones come in two new sizes as well! Choose between the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch.
On these new screens also comes an all-new Retina HD display with True Tone and 3D Touch. Say goodbye to trying to find a shaded area to do homework and hello to True Tone technology. The screen colors will balance with the light, making it easier to work on projects anywhere. More bright and vibrant colors also allow pictures to appear as real and life-like as ever.
iPhone 8 also comes with a much more advanced camera with even more options. It has a new and improved sensor, color filter, pixels and optical image stabilization. Portrait mode has also been updated to have sharper focused images and blurred scenery. New Portrait lighting also adds more professional looking effects onto pictures. On the iPhone 8 Plus, telephoto lenses gives users an increased zoom with more clarity.
The new chip installed in the iPhone 8 is called the A11 Bionic. It is overall faster, more battery efficient and powers augmented reality apps. Wireless charging is also now possible with the new design and technology. The AirPower mat makes this possible. All one has to do is set his/her device on the mat, and it will charge.
The iPhone 8 is now available and can be purchased for $699 (4.7-inch) or for $799 (5.5-inch).
