Apple launched its three new iPhone models, the first one being the iPhone 8. Unlike the previous models, Apple decided not to name it iPhone 7s in spite of the minimal changes and a similar design when compared to the iPhone 7.
The iPhone 8 price starts at $699 for the 64GB variant, while the larger, 256GB version is priced at $849.
The new model comes with a new A11 Bionic chip which will help to improve the battery life, hence allowing its users to enjoy using the high-power apps. Just like the older model, iPhone uses IP67 waterproofing.
This is the first iPhone model released by Apple that comes with a glass back, making it unique. The company claims to have used “the most durable glass” in the world of smartphones, though it does not specify what it means. It also uses the wireless charging which makes it all the more a preferred choice. The model is also slightly lighter and has a 4.7-inch display which makes it convenient to hold.
Just like the older model, the 3.5mm headphone jack is missing, which may not seem to be a good idea to many.
The phone comes with a clearer and brighter LCD screen with a retina display. The screen also has a sharper resolution.
It comes with a 12MP camera, and like all other iPhone models, this phone’s camera takes excellent pictures. Even after zooming in, the images remain clear, bright and crisp.
The phone will use the iOS 11 operating system which includes updates to Messages, and also lays focus on apps and stickers. Some features in Siri have also been updated making it better and giving it an edge over other such virtual assistants in the market.
The ones using the iPhone 6s or any older version should probably buy the phone as it has some newly added upgrades and features which are worth spending for. But the ones using the newer models like the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus can still wait.
Though the size is same as the older model, the replacement of the aluminum back with a glass one is a plus point. Another attractive new feature is the wireless charging, and hence it may be a good idea to switch over to the newer model. In the previous models, many users complained about a poor battery life. This thing also seems to have been improved by the addition of a new chipset.
The higher models launched by Apple may seem to be much better than the iPhone 8, but if you are looking for a more affordable phone which is a lot more accessible when it comes to the cost, iPhone 8 is the best option you could go for.
