“Innovation distinguishes between a follower and a leader.” – Steve Jobs, founder CEO of Apple.
The iPhone has always maintained in principle and reality what its founder CEO believed, as stated above. By being a leader in the world of handheld phones, Apple has spearheaded innovation with each iteration of the iPhone. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the iPhone 8 Plus, introduced on September 12, 2017, signified a “huge step forth for the iPhone.”
The iPhone 8 Plus has “advanced on everything,” starting with improved internals to improved design. Despite newer Chinese phones claiming to be the epitome of cell phone engineering with each launch, the iPhone retains the number one position when it comes to mobile phones. The iPhone 8 plus 64gb is another torchbearer in the long line of innovative and cutting-edge mobile phones.
Highlights
- The iPhone 8 Plus has all around glass bodies compartmentalized in an analogous aluminum case.
- The iPhone stereo speakers have deeper bass, and it’s 25 percent louder.
- The iPhone 8 Plus 64GB has a 5.5 inch screen and is improvised with True Tone support.
- The iPhone 8 plus 64 GB has 3D Touch and P3 exhaustive color guide.
- The iPhone 8 Plus body is made of glass to enable the Qi-based wireless charging feature.
Design and Build Quality
Place the iPhone 8 Plus next to the iPhone 7 Plus, and barely notice a discrepancy. The 8 Plus is marginally longer and thicker, but it can still fit in a 7 Plus case. It bears the same design idea as the iPhone 6. However, the significant variation is the new glass back, which supports wireless charging technology, allowing the device to be charged when laid on top of any inductive charger (Qi-certified).
Apple stated that both the iPhone 8 plus variations 64 Gb and 256 GB have the most enduring glass for a smartphone, with a “50 percent deeper thickening layer,” but that doesn’t necessarily imply that it will outlast a drop on concrete. It would be wise to protect it with a case.
There are fewer color options in the iphone 8 plus 64gb Gold, silver, and space gray. The silver and space gray models are comparable to the silver and black iPhone 7 Plus devices, but the gold is slightly more champagne-gold.
It’s undoubtedly attractive and elegant. Adding to this beauty, the antenna bands are moved to the sides, slightly visible at the top and bottom, making the rear look more minimal, as there’s only the dual camera module and flash at the top, along with the Apple logo. Also, the iconic line “Designed by Apple in California” has been removed.
The mute switch and volume buttons are located to the left of the iPhone 8 Plus, and on the opposite side, it has the on/off button. At the bottom, there are speaker holes and a power charge port that also functions as the connector for Lightning headphones or Bluetooth headphones. The iPhone 8 device does not support a headphone jack.
The iPhone 8 Plus has different protective features such as IP67 dust and water-resistant; therefore, it can be held underwater up to 1 meter. But Apple suggests that this exposure to the elements should not be constant because it can reduce the lifespan of the device and Apple’s warranty does not cover any sort of damage repair caused by water to an iOS device.
Vibrant Display
The iPhone 8 Plus has a 5.5-inch display LCD IPS screen with a 1,920 × 1,080-pixel resolution. It is improved with True Tone support, designed to be fully adjusted to the desired color and brightness in a room for a more accurate viewing experience.
The iphone 8 plus 64gb also has 3D Touch and P3 wide color guide for a greater variety of colors continue to be available. Looking at the phone from the side, the display looks like a paper sheet because it doesn’t catch as much glare as other smartphones.
Processor plus Camera
Apple states the A11 Bionic processor in the iPhone 8 Plus is the most powerful and most intelligent chip that’s ever been included in a smartphone. It highlights a six-core CPU with two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. The two performance cores of the iPhone 8 Plus 64GB are twenty-five percent faster, and their efficiency cores are seventy percent faster.
It has a dual-lens camera that enables Portrait Mode with a wide-angle camera working specifically for the foreground features and it also creates a blurry effect around the frameworks. The iPhone 8 Plus has improved its sharpness in detail, it provides a more natural, more artistic background blur, it has a better performance in low light conditions, and flash support is much improved.
Apple has also devised a new video technology that provides faster video frame rendering.
Battery and Availability
The iPhone 8 Plus has a powerful battery(2,675 mAh) and offers up to twenty one hours of usage, thirteen hours of video playback, 13 hours of internet browsing, and several hours of audio playback. The iPhone 8 Plus is competent in fast charging, but not with the cable in the case.
Apple offers a standard one-year warranty, starting at the purchase date, covering the device from manufacturing defects. It doesn’t cover liquid or accidental damage. Apple also offers AppleCare+ coverage, which adds two years of technical support and accidental damage coverage. The iPhone 8 Plus comes in two variants: iphone 8 plus 64gb and 256GB. The former will cost $379.00, and the latter will cost $509.00.
Summing-up
The iPhone has driven the innovation trajectory of the cellphone industry in the entire world. It has been the pioneer in both design and quality and has shown the world how a phone can be a smartphone. In their journey, they have been able to garner huge profits for their shareholders and become the most valued organization in the world. iPhone 8 plus and the subsequent models are not just intelligent handheld devices but are the testament of an organization that has revolutionized an entire industry and, in a manner, the entire world.
