Here are a few more details about the iPhone 8 Plus:
Display: The iPhone 8 Plus has a 5.5-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It features a True Tone display, which adjusts the white balance of the display to match the ambient lighting in the room, making the display easier on the eyes.
Cameras: The iPhone 8 Plus has a dual-camera system on the back consisting of two 12-megapixel cameras: one wide-angle lens and one telephoto lens. The wide-angle lens has an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization, while the telephoto lens has an f/2.8 aperture. Both cameras are capable of capturing 4K video at 60 frames per second. The front-facing camera is a 7-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture and Retina Flash, which uses the display to light up the scene.
Performance: The iPhone 8 Plus is powered by the A11 Bionic chip, which Apple claims is the most powerful chip ever used in a smartphone. It has six cores (two high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores), and a neural engine that enables machine learning tasks. The iPhone 8 Plus also comes with 3 GB of RAM.
Other features: The iPhone 8 Plus has a glass back and an aluminum frame, making it more durable than its predecessor, the iPhone 7 Plus. It is also water-resistant, with an IP67 rating, meaning it can withstand being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The iPhone 8 Plus also supports wireless charging using the Qi standard. It runs on the iOS 11 operating system and comes with a variety of built-in apps and features, including Siri, Apple Pay, and the App Store.
Color options: The iPhone 8 Plus was available in three colors: gold, silver, and space gray.
Battery life: The iPhone 8 Plus has a non-removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 2691 mAh. Apple claims that it can last up to 21 hours of talk time or up to 13 hours of internet use on a single charge.
