Introduced on September 12, 2017, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus represent a "huge step forward for the iPhone," according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. The two devices "improve on everything we love about iPhone" with overhauled internals and a tweaked design, but the changes introduced are not as dramatic as the changes brought to the iPhone X , Apple's new high-end flagship device being sold alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus mix a little bit of the iPhone X with a little bit of the previous-generation iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The overall design is the same as the design of the previous-generation devices, but the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus adopt
new glass bodies sandwiched in a matching aluminum frame . Unlike the iPhone X, there continues to be a
Touch ID Home button and thick bezels at the top and bottom of the display.
Available in three colors, Silver, Space Gray, and a new Gold shade, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus feature the most durable glass ever in a smartphone in a reinforced steel and aluminum structure that is IP67 water and dust resistant. The stereo speaker setup in the device has been updated to be 25 percent louder with deeper bass.
The iPhone 8 continues to feature a 4.7-inch display, while the iPhone 8 Plus features a larger 5.5-inch display. Both displays have been upgraded with True Tone support , designed to adapt color temperature and intensity to the ambient light in a room for a more natural, paper-like viewing experience.
3D Touch and P3 wide color support for a greater rang of colors continue to be available.
Apple chose glass for the body of the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus to enable a new Qi-based inductive wireless charging feature, which allows the two devices to be charged when placed atop any Qi-certified inductive charger.
Inside the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, there's a new six-core A11 Bionic chip , which Apple says is the smartest, most powerful chip ever introduced in a smartphone. There are two performance cores that are 25 percent faster than the A10 Fusion chip in the iPhone 7, and four efficiency cores that are 70 percent faster.
With a new second-generation performance controller, all six cores can be harnessed at the same time for much improved speeds when handling multi-threaded workloads. There's a new Apple-designed 3-core GPU that's 30 percent faster than the previous-generation GPU, and two of the cores, the Neural Engine , make machine learning tasks faster than ever.
Both the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus feature improved cameras with better sensors that let 83 percent more light into the wide-angle camera. There's also a new image signal processor built into the A11 that brings better low light performance, including faster autofocus, and there are new pixel processing techniques for sharpness pixel texture.
Apple is also adding hardware-enabled multi-band noise reduction , deeper pixels, and a new color filter for less noise, better color saturation, and a wider dynamic range of color.
The larger iPhone 8 Plus continues to offer a dual-lens camera setup with both an f/2.8 telephoto lens and a f/1.8 wide-angle lens, both of which have new sensors. Optical image stabilization continues to be available for the iPhone 8 and the wide-angle lens in the iPhone 8 Plus.
Apple's Portrait Mode, limited to the iPhone 8 Plus's dual-lens camera system, has been updated with a new Portrait Lighting effect to dynamically change the lighting in an image to mimic studio lighting techniques.
With the new image signal processor and a new Apple-designed video encoder that enables faster video frame rates and real-time image and motion analysis, video capture on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is better than ever. 4K video at 60 frames per second is supported, as is 1080p slow motion video.
Apple designed the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus with augmented reality in mind. The cameras are calibrated for AR, there's a new gyroscope and accelerometer to enable more accurate motion tracking, and the A11 Bionic offers world tracking and scenes while the GPU renders realistic graphics and the image signal processor offers real-time lighting estimation. iOS 11 introduces hundreds of new AR apps designed using ARKit, all of which can be experienced on iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
Apple is offering the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in 64 and 256GB capacities, starting at $699. The two phones officially launched on Friday, September 22 and are readily available both online and in retail stores

JAMB To Start Sale Of Forms November Bans Pens, Wristwatches In Centres
The Joint Admissions And Matriculation Board, JAMB, Organisers Of The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, Has Banned The Use Of Wrist Watches And Pens During The Conduct Of Its 2018 Test.
The Board’s Registrar, Is’haq Oloyede Disclosed This To Journalists On The Sideline Of A One-Day Sensitisation Workshop For Computer Based Test, CBT, Centre Owners On Wednesday In Lagos.
According To Him, The Essence Of The Workshop Is To Appraise The Registration And Conduct Of The 2017 Examination.
“What We Are Doing Here Today Is To Appraise The Registration And Conduct Of Our Past Examination And We Have Taken Some Lessons From Our Experience.
“To This End Therefore We Have Introduced Some Measures That Will Further Add To The Integrity Of The Registration Process As Well As The Conduct Of The Examination Proper.
“For Instance, We Discovered During The Conduct Of The Last Examination That Some Electronic Devices Such As Pens, Wristwatches And Other Devices Were Used To Perpetrate Examination Malpractice.
“So, For Next Year, We Have Banned The Use Of Wristwatches And Pens By Candidates And Other Persons In The Examination Hall.
“We Are Also Going To Introduce Some Detection Devices To Ensure That Those Who Plan To Cheat In The Examination Hall Are Frustrated, As We Will Also Jam (Communication Network) Of The Centres,” He Said.
Mr. Oloyede Noted That The Sale Of The Registration Document For The 2018 UTME Would Commence Before The End Of November.
“We Are Planning To Meet With All Stakeholders On November 15 And The Sale Of The Registration Document Will Definitely Commence Before The End Of This Month.
“This Is In Order To Minimise The Errors That Usually Occurs During The Registration Process,” He Said.
The JAMB Boss Added That Not Less Than 617 Centres Have Been Accredited Nationwide For The Exercise.
“We Are Still Considering About 60 More Centres As We Have Their Applications Waiting For Consideration.
“However, A Total Of 72 Centres Nationwide Have Earlier Been Delisted Owing To Their Involvement In Some Infractions And They Remain Delisted.”
On The Board’s Plan To Construct Mega CBT Centres For Its Examinations, Mr. Oloyede Said: “The Mega Centre Plan Is Still On, We Said That Last Year.
“But The Process Of Planning Will Take Some Time. “There Will Be Design, There Will Be Contact With Private Operators, Just As There Will Be Advertisements And Also Due Process Will Be Followed,” He Said. Earlier, Mr. Oloyede Called For The Support Of The CBT Centre Owners In Checking Anti-Examination Activities Capable Of Compromising The Examination.
“While Thanking You For Your Diligence During The 2017 Examination, We Want To Seize This Opportunity To Inform You Of The Flagging Off Of The 2018 Exercise.
“We Will Like To Also Assure You That We Will Make Use Of The Best CBT Centres In The Coming Examination.
“You Will Be Culpable If You Do Not Expose Any CBT Centre That Is Doing What Is Evil Because They Will Attract Condemnation From All Of Us.
“It Is On This Premise That We Are Appealing That You Assist Us In Identifying The Bad Eggs Among You And Ensuring That They Do Not Participate In Our Activities,” He Said.
According To Him, Monitoring Starts From The Time Of Arrival Of The Centre Owners To The Workshop. He Added That During The 2018 UTME Examination, The Board Would Include Some Other Requirements For CBT Centres.
“We Are Not Going To Accept Wireless CCTV Cameras. Any Examination Conducted In Any CBT Centre That We Cannot Monitor From Abuja Will Not Be Paid For.
“The Onus Is On You To Ensure That Your CCTV Are Working And Must Be On And No CBT Centre Is Allowed To
Sell Any Kind Of Materials Under The Guise Of Past Questions.
“We Will Also Not Tolerate Candidates Leaving The Centre To Go Out To Use The Toilet.
It Is Expected That All Accredited CBT Centres Have An In-House Convenience,”
Mr. Oloyede Said.
