**The iPhone 8: A Revolutionary Upgrade**
The new iPhone 8 has arrived, and it's packed with exciting features that promise to take mobile technology to the next level. The device boasts a slightly larger screen on both the standard 8 model and its bigger sibling, the 8 Plus, but our old iPhone 7 case should still fit unless it's a precisely built hard case. On the other hand, the weight of the phone has changed with almost half an ounce added to each model.
The new gold shade, silver, and Space Gray color options have been introduced, with the gold being lighter compared to previous models and the silver looking slightly different as well. Gone is the jet black and rose gold for this year's iPhone 8. The back of the device is made of glass to enable wireless charging, and the seams between the frame and glass are so smooth that they almost disappear compared to the iPhone 6 and 7 series devices. Additionally, the antenna bands are now more discreet and no longer run across the rear case.
The camera bump on the back of the iPhone 8 reverts back to a two-part ring mount design seen in iPhone 6 and 6s as it is no longer possible to craft the section out of the rear chassis material. Apple has also removed manufacturing information text below the iPhone logo on the back of the device, instead opting for a digital version located in device settings.
**Technical Specifications**
The iPhone 8 comes with 64 gigabytes of base storage, with an option of 256 gigabytes for an extra $150, which is a better deal than last year since you're paying only 78 cents per gig. Although the new iPhone 10 gets a new super Retina display, the iPhone 8 gets the same display as the 7, except for the added true tone feature, which adjusts the color temperature of the screen to match surrounding lighting.
The 8 is still rated IP67 for splash water and dust resistance. Inside, a brand new six-core A11 Bionic chip powers the iPhone 8 with two high-performance cores that are 25% faster than the one in the A10 in for high-efficiency cores, making for overall performance 70% faster than the outgoing model. Unofficial benchmarks posted to Geekbench show the iPhone 8 in X completely destroy top mobile chips in both single and multi-core performance.
Apple's motion coprocessor has also been upgraded to an M11 designation, while graphics is upgraded to a new Apple-designed three-core GPU that is 30% faster than the A10 but uses half the power. The device also gets a brand-new dual-core neural Engine chip, which is mostly meant for processing facial recognition on the iPhone 10 but also has some uses for machine learning in photos and other areas.
The cameras are exactly the same as last year, except for a new sensor that allows for 4K recording at 60 frames per second in 1080p at 240 frames per second for slo-mo videos. This sensor also has deeper pixels that let in 83% more light, which will help with wider dynamic range and should noticeably reduce noise seen in low-light photos. There is also a new image signal processor that makes for faster autofocus pixel processing, hardware noise reduction, a huge deal that will ultimately improve image quality.
**Additional Features**
The front-facing FaceTime HD camera stays exactly the same. The larger 8 Plus gets a new portrait lighting feature that uses depth information to enable dynamic subject lighting effects even in post-production. Although minor, you also get a new slow sync flash feature. A host of new augmented reality features are coming as well.
iPhone 8 sports revamped stereo speakers that are 25% louder than the 7s with deeper bass as well. Battery life is about the same as previous generation hardware, except the eight is now fast charged capable, which means users can achieve an up to 50% charge in 30 minutes. The new glass back now allows for wireless charging, which works with Qi-supported chargers. It'll get even better when Apple releases their upcoming air power wireless charger, allowing up to three Apple devices to be charged at the same time.
The device also supports Bluetooth 5.0 and FaceTime HD.
**Pricing**
iPhone 8 ships with iOS 11, Apple's next-generation mobile operating system that will be available to the public as a free download. Pricing is $699 for the base iPhone 8, $799 for the 8 Plus, you can upgrade to 256 gigabytes of storage on either device for an extra $150. The iPhone 10 will start at $999 and won't be available for order until late October so now's the time to decide whether you want to preorder the eight today or wait for Apple's OLED flagship.
