Apple released the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in September 2017, refining the classic iPhone design while introducing transformative new technologies. These models represented both an evolution and a farewell - they perfected the Home button era of iPhones while marking the last flagship models with this familiar design before the iPhone X revolution.
The A11 Bionic chip powered both models, featuring a 6-core CPU with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, plus a 3-core GPU. This chip delivered up to 70% faster multi-threaded performance than the A10 Fusion, enabling augmented reality experiences and advanced portrait photography.
The revolutionary glass back design enabled wireless charging via the Qi standard for the first time on iPhone. This convenient charging method, combined with fast charging support (50% in 30 minutes with 18W adapter), gave users flexible power options.
The Retina HD display featured True Tone technology, which used an advanced four-channel ambient light sensor to automatically adjust white balance to match the light around you. This made images appear more natural and reduced eye strain in different environments.
The iPhone 8 Plus featured an advanced dual-camera system with Wide and Telephoto lenses, enabling Portrait mode and the new Portrait Lighting feature. This technology used depth mapping and facial detection to create studio-quality lighting effects like Natural Light, Studio Light, and Contour Light.
Both models could record 4K video at 60fps and 1080p slow-motion at 240fps. The larger, faster sensor on the 12MP camera delivered excellent low-light performance, while optical image stabilization on the Wide camera kept photos sharp.
The Touch ID fingerprint sensor in the Home button provided fast, secure authentication for unlocking, Apple Pay, and app purchases. The Taptic Engine delivered precise tactile feedback, simulating the feel of a mechanical button press.
Water and dust resistance with an IP67 rating allowed submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, providing peace of mind for accidental spills and rain exposure.
The iPhone 8 came in Silver, Space Gray, and Gold finishes, while the 8 Plus added the (Product) Red edition to support HIV/AIDS programs. Both featured the same premium aluminum and glass construction with precisely matched seams.
