Apple iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X officially!
Contents
Today, Apple unveiled to the world three long-awaited smart phone: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.
The event was held in the theatre of Steve jobs, which is located in the new headquarters of Apple. Let’s see what is each device. Just want to note that this is not the “iPhones” that we are used to seeing. It is a smartphone with a completely new appearance, which will undoubtedly appeal to many.
The appearance of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
If you were holding the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, you already had the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Joke. Now the body of the smartphone consists of only glass and aluminium.
In other respects it’s all the same smartphones with displays with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Camera
The new generation smartphones also boasts of improved cameras. From the first glance, the characteristics of the cameras are very similar, both smartphones will be dual primary camera with a resolution of 12 MP front and 7 MP. But in the case of the iPhone 8 Plus sensor main camera has a two-fold optical zoom.
Despite a fairly ordinary resolution, the company representatives said that the sensors used brand new. That raises the picture quality to a whole new level. Yes, I said so. In addition, a very good job on software. In particular, there is a new mode called Portrait Lightning.
As I said above, the smartphone uses a proprietary graphics chip. It will analyze every frame of picture or video, and then the algorithms of the chip will work on optimizing video quality. In addition, users will now have the ability to record video in 1080p at 240 frames per second. That is twice that of the iPhone 7.
Specifications
In the Apple iPhone 8 uses a display with a diagonal of 4.7 inch (for fans of compactness) with a resolution of 750×1334. In the Plus version has an integrated display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels.
The new iPhone is a new chip from Apple. The new generation of smartphones uses a proprietary Apple chip A11 Bionic. This is the first six-core chip from the company from Cupertino. As in the case with processors from other manufacturers, six cores does not mean that they are identical in performance. The new chip uses four productive core Mistral and two little productive called Monsoon.
The new processor is made to work 2 GB (iPhone 8) and 3 GB of RAM (the iPhone 8 Plus). As for flash memory, both smartphone will be sold only in two versions: 64GB and 128GB.
And one of the main “chips” is the presence in both smartphones wireless charging feature. Because of this feature, the backs of smartphones is now made of glass.
Apple iPhone X
Now for the highlight of the event was Apple introduced the iPhone X. Remarkably, it is called “iPhone ten” not “x”.
This is not a “iPhone” which we used to see. Its distinguishing feature — the presence of a “frameless” OLED display. As expected, this so-called Super Retina Display, which combines all the advantages of OLED technology. The display was 5.8 inches, with a resolution of 2436×1125 pixels. If we talk about housing, it is made of aluminium with a protective glass that covers the back of the smartphone. iPhone X will be available in two colors: silver and gray.
Because the smartphone display takes up almost the entire front panel, companies had to abandon the already familiar physical home button. Now, instead of TouchID you can use FaceID (unlocking phone with your face). As stated at the presentation, only in one case out of a million your smartphone will be able to unlock the other person.
As expected, at the presentation they showed us how to use animated emoticons, so-called “Animoji”. Now your smartphone will animate the smilies to match your facial expression. Unfortunately, Animoji will be available only in the proprietary iMessage service.
Camera iPhone X
Now the twin module is positioned vertically. In addition, both lenses have optical image stabilization.
