Instead of the aluminium casing used in the\u00a0iPhone 7\u00a0, Apple has moved to\u00a0an all-glass enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Apple has used glass in its iPhones. The iPhone 4 and 4s had glass front and back panels, with a stainless steel band sandwiched between the two.<\/p>\n<p>However, these phones were plagued by durability issues, with many customers claiming their phones\u00a0cracked too easily when dropped\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are made from &#8220;the most durable glass ever in a smartphone&#8221; according to Apple, and are both water and dust resistant.<\/p>\n<p>They are available in three colours &#8211; space gray, silver and gold &#8211; and the aluminium edges have been colour-matched to each device.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8216;True Tone&#8217; display<\/h2>\n<p>The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus feature the same size displays as their precessors. The iPhone 8 has a 4.7-inch screen while the larger iPhone 8 Plus packs a 5.5-inch display.<\/p>\n<p>Both are Retina HD displays and also feature Apple&#8217;s True Tone technology &#8211; a first for the an iPhone. True Tone,\u00a0first introduced with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, automatically adjusts the intensity of white light to suit the lighting conditions in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Apple also claims that its Retina HD display offers the best colour accuracy in the industry.<\/p>\n<h2>Home button<\/h2>\n<p>While Apple has dropped the home button from the iPhone X, it has stuck with the virtual home buttons from last year for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.<\/p>\n<p>This means you can still use TouchID to unlock the phones and to verify your identity with Apple Pay.<\/p>\n<h2>Camera<\/h2>\n<p>The rear cameras on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are fairly similar to those on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 8 has an improved 12-megapixel camera with a larger and faster sensor, enabling faster autofocus in low light, along with what Apple claims is the highest video quality yet in a smartphone, with 4K recording.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, iPhone 8 Plus features dual 12-megapixel cameras, and includes a new Portrait Lighting mode, designed to make portrait shots stand out from the background.<\/p>\n<p>This works by using the dual cameras to recognise the scene, create a depth map and separate the subject from the background. Machine learning is then used to add lighting over contours of the face in real time.<\/p>\n<h2>Processor<\/h2>\n<p>The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus both feature the new A11 Bionic chip which features six cores and is notably faster than the older A10 processor which powered last year&#8217;s iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.<\/p>\n<h2>Wireless charging<\/h2>\n<p>The new glass design means that the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus can both be charged wirelessly, using third-party charging pads from the likes of Belkin and Mophie.<\/p>\n<p>The company also gave a sneak preview of the AirPower charging mat, which is due to land in 2018 and can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2>Water-resistant<\/h2>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s\u00a0iPhone 7 is water-resistant\u00a0to a depth of one metre for up to 30 minutes &#8211; a rating known as IP67, which is the same as the\u00a0Apple Watch\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The firm has chosen to go with the same water resistance on the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.<\/p>\n<p>IP67 means it will survive a dip in the sink or down the loo, and it won&#8217;t break if you pour a drink over it, but you probably don&#8217;t want to take it swimming.<\/p>\n<h2>New gold colour<\/h2>\n<p>While Apple&#8217;s new iPhone was rumoured to be available in\u00a0a striking copper colour known as &#8220;blush gold&#8221;, the Cupertino brand instead unveiled a new version of &#8220;gold&#8221;, which has a slight pink tint.<\/p>\n<p>Apple confirmed that both the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus would be available in silver, space grey and the new gold, ditching the pink-tinged &#8216;rose gold&#8217; from the lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Augmented reality<\/h2>\n<p>The dual cameras on iPhone 8 Plus are custom tuned for AR. Each camera is individually calibrated, with new gyroscopes and accelerometers for accurate motion tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s ARKit for iOS developers can take advantage of the TrueDepth camera and the rear cameras to create games and apps that mix graphics with a real-world view.<\/p>\n<h2>iPhone 8 Price and release date<\/h2>\n<p>Both phones will available to pre-order from 15 September, with the devices shipping on 22 September.<\/p>\n<p>Prices start at \u00a3699 for the 64GB iPhone 8, going up to \u00a3849 for the 256GB version.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 8 Plus comes with a price tag of \u00a3799 for the 64Gb version and \u00a3949 for 256GB.<\/p>\n<h3>iPhone X<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/misstechy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/iphone-x-tim-cook.jpg?w=1170\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter\">T<\/span>he iPhone X celebrates the 10th anniversary of Apple&#8217;s smartphone, featuring a radical redesign and new technology.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged\">T<\/span>he phone has a 5.8-inch\u00a0OLED screen, which fills the entire front of the device.
