Apple launched the iPhone 8 Plus at $799 for 64GB and $949 for 256GB. With some new features
and upgrades to the display, camera and the processor as compared to the iPhone 8, this phone is a steadier and a safer update. Just like the previous model, it comes with a glass back but has a larger screen size.
The company is good at coloring its phones, and the model comes in some beautiful hues of black, silver, and gold which is a nice blend of the rose gold and the original gold.
The phone’s screen comes with the 1080p IPS LCD which can display the wide-P3 color gamut. It also has the True Tone feature that was first launched by Apple on the iPad Pro 9.7-inch. This technology helps to adjust the temperature of the colors on the screen depending upon the environment in which you are using the phone.
The processor used in the iPhone 8 Plus is the same as the iPhone 8 that is the A11 Bionic. The chipset is a six-core processor, two of which are high-powered and the remaining four being low-powered.
Just like its predecessor, the iPhone 8 Plus comes with wireless charging. Another interesting upgrade in this version is on the speakers which now have a heavier bass and a louder volume. Even at high volumes, there is no distortion in the sound. It almost eliminates the need to listen to music by connecting a Bluetooth speaker. Just like the older versions, this phone does not have a standard earphone jack. If you feel that the lack of a headphone jack is not a good idea, it is time to change with the changing times.
The phone comes with an even better camera. The model has dual 12MP cameras, one of which is an optically stabilized f/1.8 wide-angle camera, and the other, a f/2.8 telephoto camera that allows zooming. The pictures have far more vibrant colors and are saturated. There’s a particular kind of never-seen-before pop to images. Apple launched the Portrait mode in the iPhone 7 Plus, but the new model comes with Portrait Lighting that mimics a professionally staged lighting.
If the phone works well in matters of battery life and other upgrades like the camera’s Portrait Lighting mode, buying the phone should definitely be considered.
One of the main differences between the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is the difference in the screen size and the camera quality. As mentioned earlier, the 8 Plus version comes with a dual camera, while the iPhone 8 has a single camera.
Upgrading to this phone is a good idea, especially for the ones using the iPhone 6s and other lower models.
