The iPhone 8 is a smartphone that was announced by Apple in a special event on September 12, 2017 alongside the iPhone 8 Plus and X.[1] It was released on the following September 22nd as the successor to the iPhone 7.[2]

The iPhone 8 was superseded by the iPhone XS and more moderately-priced iPhone XR in late 2018, but remained available as a budget model after the 1st-generation iPhone SE had been discontinued.[3] The external design of the iPhone 8 was reused by the 2nd-generation iPhone SE, which announced as a replacement on April 15, 2020.[4]

Features[]

The iPhone 8 includes a faster Apple A11 Bionic processor, a glass body that is water and dust-resistant and supports wireless charging, louder speakers, a new Retina display with True Tone technology, dual 12-megapixel wide and telephoto cameras with more advanced sensors and new color filter with optical image stabilization, and an exclusive "Portrait Mode" lighting system, previously only featured on the iPhone 7 Plus.[1]

The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus initially came with iOS 11 pre-installed and are now the oldest models still supported by iOS 16.[5][6]

Trivia[]

  • The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are the first iPhone models to feature a glass back since the iPhone 4S, though the new purpose is to enable inductive charging with Qi-compatible wireless chargers.
  • The Silver and Gold iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were the last iPhone models to have a white front, with all succeeding iPhones, including the 2nd-generation iPhone SE, having black fronts regardless of the color of their back side.
