The iPhone 8 was released in September 2017, and is Apple’s 11th generation mainstream phone. The iPhone 8 retains the same overall design as its predecessor, while refreshing the internals with the speedy A11 Bionic chip. This is paired with 2GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. In addition to the spec bump, the iPhone 8 also supports fast charging and wireless charging, as well as an updated 4.7-inch True Tone display that uses the ambient light sensor to make automatic adjustments to screen calibration.
