IPhone 8 Plus

The iPhone 8 Plus is a large smartphone that was announced by Apple in a special event on September 12, 2017 alongside the iPhone 8 and X. It was released on the following September 22nd as the successor to the iPhone 7 Plus.

The iPhone 8 Plus was superseded by the iPhone X S Max in September 2018, but remained available as a large-sized budget iPhone. The iPhone X R was marketed towards customers of the 8 Plus who wanted a larger screen and longer battery life at a lower price. The 8 Plus was discontinued on April 15, 2020 with the introduction of the 2nd-generation iPhone SE.
