The Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone X have been released to the public, and they are sure to generate a lot of excitement among smartphone enthusiasts. While some features are carried over from the iPhone 7, such as the same camera lenses, the same IP67 dust and water resistance, and the same Lightning connector, there are enough new features here to raise some eyebrows.

One of the most notable new features is wireless charging, which is now an industry standard. This means that users will no longer have to fumble around with a Lightning cord when they need to charge their phone. Apple has also promised its highest quality photos yet, with the rear camera rocking a new larger image sensor that allows more light to enter the phone, resulting in more detailed shots and better low-light performance.

In addition to these features, the iPhone 8 and X also come with a new OLED display running at a high 1125p resolution. This is the highest resolution that any iPhone has ever offered, and it boasts a million-to-one contrast ratio, which is easily the highest contrast display that Apple has ever released as part of a smartphone. The display is also the largest screen of any iPhone ever, with a 5.8-inch display.

But what really sets the iPhone X apart from its predecessors is its new Face ID technology. This replaces the traditional Touch ID technology and allows users to unlock their phone and make purchases by using the front camera, which maps a 3D model of the user's face with over 30,000 data points. Apple claims that this technology is much more secure than Touch ID, especially for those who have identical twins.

Face ID also allows users to record and send animated messages to their friends using one of Apple's baked-in 3D characters. This feature alone could be a major selling point for the iPhone X, but it will likely come at a price. The phone is expected to be significantly more expensive than its predecessors, with prices starting at $700 and going up to $1,150 depending on the exact model and capacity.

But even without the iPhone X's advanced features, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are still impressive devices. They come with the new A11 SOC, which has been crushing Android rivals in synthetic tests like Geekbench. The phone also boasts a wide color gamut for its LCD display, although it's unclear how this will affect the overall user experience.

Overall, the iPhone 8 and X are sure to be popular devices among smartphone enthusiasts. While they may not offer anything entirely new, their advanced features and improved performance make them stand out from the competition.

one but two distinct apple smartphones the iphone 8 and the iphone 8 plus oh wait also the 10 that's three and by the way no we don't know what happened to the iphone 9 maybe they got their naming inspiration from another tech company it wouldn't be the first time anyway let's dive right into the features so you can decide if the new iphone models might be sensible upgrades for you both models are available in either 64 or gigabyte capacities a welcome change after apple developed a bit of a reputation for offering lower capacities than competing flagship smartphones and although some features are simply carried over from the iphone 7 such as the same camera lenses the same ip67 dust and water resistance and the same lightning connector despite hopes that apple would switch to the open usbc standard there are enough new features here to raise some eyebrows including industry standard wireless chi charging so at least you won't have to fumble around with said lightning cord when you need some more apple juice okay bad puns aside apple is also promising their highest quality photos yet with the rear camera rocking a new larger image sensor you can learn more about why that's important up here but the basic idea is that this will allow more light to enter the phone resulting in more detailed shots and apple has also said it delivers better low light performance and dynamic range than ever before and speaking of light the new iphones go a step beyond automatic control of the screen brightness and will also attempt to adjust the color of the display changing it on the fly based on your ambient light conditions apple is also promising a wider color gamut for the lcd display but if looks don't matter as much as uh what's on the inside to you you won't be disappointed either the iphone 8 and 10 both come with the new a11 soc and early reports are indicating that it is crushing its android rivals in synthetic tests like geekbench but what are the extras you're getting if you opt for the significantly more expensive iphone 10 well it gets a few new design features that we haven't yet seen on an iphone first up apple has hopped on to the bezel-less or rather almost bezel-less hype train even going as far as to ditch their iconic home button it's been replaced by a swipe up so finding your way around the phone might take some getting used to it also gets an oled display running at a somewhat wacky 1125p resolution still the highest though that any iphone has offered apple also claims that this display has a million to one contrast ratio and while that number may or may not be fudged which you can learn more about here this is still easily the highest contrast display that apple has ever released as part of a smartphone it also boasts the largest screen of any iphone ever with a 5.8 inch display and a battery that apple says can deliver up to 21 hours of talk time versus 14 for the iphone 8. well okay linus that's great and all but these are actually all features that we've had on android phones for a while now is apple offering us anything that's actually new well yes actually the big selling point in that regard is face id which for now is an iphone 10 exclusive instead of the touch id technology that's been with us since the iphone 5 you can instead unlock your phone and make purchases by using the front camera which maps a 3d model of your face with over 30 000 data points a more advanced solution than the 2d face recognition on the galaxy s8 which apple is claiming is much more secure than touch id unless of course you have an identical twin as a side note this tech also lets you record and send animated messages to your friends using one of apple's baked in 3d characters they are going to sell so many of these based on that feature alone at least assuming anyone can afford them obviously new iphones aren't cheap in general and this is especially true with apple releasing the super high-end iphone 10 in tandem with the more mainstream eight and eight plus so you can expect to pay at least 700 us dollars and as much as 1150 depending on exactly which model you want and which capacity which gets me thinking maybe face id could be updated to let siri know to you know comfort you if you look stressed out from all that credit card debt do you have two computers and like two sets of keyboards and mice to control them well synergy lets you consolidate that it's a software tool that lets you share one keyboard and mouse between multiple computers and it even works cross-platform so if you have like a mac that you use for development and a windows machine that you use for gaming bam you can just use the same peripherals for both seamlessly moving between them with your mouse cursor and it's got tons of other great features as well including clipboard sharing dragging and dropping between the computers the ability to set up custom hotkeys and more synergy is available in basic and pro versions with the latter including ssl encryption to secure the data sent between the computers synergy is offering a 50 discount to techwiki viewers so just click on the link in the video description below to
