Description
The iPhone 8 is the successor to
the iPhone 7 - sticking to the same form factor recipe, but introducing
upgrades on the hardware front, including camera improvements, a screen
featuring Apple's True Tone technology, and a new, faster Apple A11
Bionic system chip. The addition of wireless charging has made it
necessary to replace the metal housing with a glass back and a metal
frame on the sides. As before, the iPhone 8 is water resistant and
delivers stereo sound. iOS 11 runs on it out of the box, introducing
augmented reality applications, a redesigned App Store, a new Control
Center layout, and a number of UI refinements.
