Apple Reveals 'iPhone 8' and 'iPhone 8 Plus' With Glass Bodies and A11 Bionic Chip

Kudos to Apple for using Qi and not fragmenting the standard.

Samsung user in peace.

"One more thing..."

 

[JGIGS]

Couldn't they at least have reduce the bezels on the normal model since they redesign the casing?

 

[Rygy12]

THANK GOD. ONE MORE THING

 

[DakotaGuy]

Who would buy this thing? Looks old fashioned as hell and screams I'm too poor for the iPhone X. If you carry Apple you want to look like you have money. This screams I'm cheap.

They increased the Storage to 64 GB from 32 GB. That's my perfect median.

 

[Hull1969]

So the phone looks the same as it did 4 years ago...

What about ios11 when can we download?

Look at that camera BUMP! Woo wee. They really gotta make it go away.

SUPER retina... oh boy.

 

[agsystems]

really they dare to raise prices to the 'regular' models - not looking good so far

 

[Delgibbons]

Super retina display.

Made by Samsung. You can say it Phil 😀 😛

No Blush Gold. That was the color I was most interested in.

Wow the iPhone x is amazing

 

[soupcan]

Oooh glass back. Looks nice with the case you'll need to put over it to have it not shatter when you drop the damn thing from 30cm high.

Um, maybe that's why YOU carry an Apple. I couldn't care less what any random stranger thinks about my phone.

 

[Delgibbons]

Ir scanning everytime? Will be interested to see the battery life hit.

I don't have an iPhone. I have an S8 Plus. The iPhone 7 looked too out of date just like this thing. Everyone will want an X. This thing will sell as poorly as the 5c did.

 

[milo]

Headphone jack?

 

[Jmausmuc]

It looks the same as the 7. What a disappointment

You mean like the 6 😀

 

[quagmire]

He said Retina HD display. Is that different than the Retina displays in previous models? Only the plus models have a 1920x1080 display. Could iPhone 8 also be getting a 1920x1080 display?

Technically 720p qualifies as HD as well.

Man that was weak, same iphone as 3 years ago. The a11 is a beast though.

Yes, because the outside look is the only thing that goes into these things. Forget the upgraded CPU, the upgraded GPU, the upgraded Cameras. They don't matter, it only matters what it looks like.

 

[atikalz]

Soooo iPhone 7s right? Why break convention and skip the "s" and go to the next number? Year after will be iPhone 9 then?

Year after it will be 11 based on X. Since there will be no more iterations of the 3 year old iphone 6 design.

 

[KoolAid-Drink]

Year after it will be 11 based on X. Since there will be no more iterations of the 4 year old iphone 6 design.

3 year, actually. The original 6 was released in 2014, 3 years ago.

 

[atikalz]

So why is not called iPhone 7s since it is the same layout as the iPhone 6?
Why a major release for this minor product update?

Speak for yourself, bucko.

 

[potatis]

So they canned the black and red color options from iPhone 7.
