Display and Design

The iPhone 8 Plus’s design is identical to its forerunner, the iPhone 7 Plus, but there are some noticeable alterations. The most noticeable modification is the glass back, which replaces the gleaming metal finish and permits wireless charging. The gadget is marginally more significant than the iPhone 7 Plus, measuring 6.24 x 3.07 x 0.3 inches and weighing 7.13 ounces.

The True Tone technology in the 5.5-inch, 1,920 by 1,080 LCD modifies the white balance based on ambient illumination. There is no headphone jack, but there is still a Touch ID home button, and the phone is water-resistant.

 Performance

The iPhone 8 Plus is powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chipset, which has two high-performance cores and four efficiency cores. The iPhone 8 Plus has enhanced modem performance in comparison to earlier generations. With compatibility for 802.11ac on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, Wi-Fi performance is better than the iPhone 7 Plus. When using high-wattage chargers, such as the iPad charger, battery life is comparable to that of the iPhone 7 Plus.

iOS 11 

iOS 11, the operating system used by the iPhone 8 Plus, has several new features, including better Messages, ARKit for augmented reality, and improved Siri. Users of the iPhone 8 Plus should anticipate additional enhancements and functionality in the future as Apple keeps updating its operating system. Among the notable features added in iOS 11 are:

1. Control Center redesign: A more straightforward interface and customization choices are now available in the Control Center.
2. Drag & Drop: Users may move files, photos, and texts between apps using the new drag-and-drop capability.
3. Do Not Disturb When Driving: To reduce distractions, this feature recognizes when you are driving and instantly turns off notifications.
4. The Files app offers a centralized area for managing your files locally and on cloud storage services like iCloud Drive, Google Drive, and Dropbox.

 cameras

The dual 12-megapixel camera system in the iPhone 8 Plus includes a wide-angle f/1.8 lens and a 2x telephoto f/2.8 lens. The iPhone 7 Plus’s front-facing 7-megapixel camera is still present. While the iPhone 8 Plus camera does not much outperform its predecessor, it does provide new capabilities like Portrait Lighting and better performance in outside night scenarios. The telephoto lens, however, is not optically stabilized, which degrades the calibre of video capture.

Conclusion

 The iPhone 8 Plus is a desirable choice for people searching for a high-performance smartphone thanks to its A11 Bionic chipset, enhanced photography capabilities, and wireless charging. The iPhone 8 Plus is still an excellent option for those who appreciate a larger display, Touch ID, and a more conventional design, even though it may not be as cutting-edge as the iPhone X or subsequent models.
