Apple iPhone 8

Although the iPhone 8 is no longer the leading flagship iPhone, Apple fans still flock to stores to purchase it, year after year. This sleek and versatile handset now appears at the affordable end of the market, but believe us, it remains one of the best smartphones out there.

iPhone 8 Build and Design

At a glance, the iPhone 8 is not that dissimilar to the earlier iPhone 7. It has a larger bezel than its predecessor (the iPhone X), but it is a very well-designed device and one that continues to look like a market-leading handset. It comes in a variety of colours, too; you can purchase it in either gold, space grey or silver.

As you would expect, some of the later Apple models are equipped with bigger screens, but the iPhone 8’s 4.7-inch screen is still brilliant. Plus, if you prefer a smartphone that’s a little smaller in size, this is perfect because it sits snugly in your pocket when you’re on the go.

The Main Features of the iPhone 8

Apple originally released the iPhone 8 with 256GB and 64GB of internal storage, and the 64GB option has proven to be the most popular size out of the bunch. It boasts a sturdy 12-megapixel front camera and has an improved flash (from the iPhone 7), which is ideal for taking pictures in low-light situations.

The iPhone 8 has an impressive A11 Bionic processor, which is also used in the iPhone X. Flicking between emails, apps and games is super speedy, too, when compared to the iPhone 7.

It has wireless charging capability, and it’s dust and water-resistant. Although, like many other phones, it cannot be deemed waterproof.

iPhone 8 Display and Audio

A highlight of the iPhone 8 has to be its Retina HD display, which uses TrueTone technology. Many people don’t know this, but it was the first Apple smartphone to use it, setting the bar high for future models.

This nifty handset also comes with 4K video recording. It uses optical image stabilisation to create excellent quality videos. Not to mention, its stereo speakers are 25% louder than its former competitor, the iPhone 7, offering better treble and bass overall. Finally, the device runs on the iOS11 operating system.

Opinion On the iPhone 8

We think that the iPhone 8 is an awesome device; it’s a real upgrade from the iPhone 7, providing a better display, alongside louder and higher-quality audio.

Despite being an older Apple model, the camera is top-notch, so you can expect to capture first-rate photos and videos. Its low-cost price tag is a big bonus for us as well because it gives a wide audience of phone users access to an affordable smartphone which really packs a punch!
