Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “iPhone 8 and 8 Plus first look”.
Hey everybody: this is dieter bone at the Steve Jobs, theater in Apple Park in Cupertino, their brand-new theater and we’re looking at the brand new iPhone 8 and the most obvious thing you’re going to notice, and you pick up one of these things. This is the iPhone 8 plus. Is that it now has a glass back apple says it’s the hardest glass ever put on a phone sure it does pick up fingerprints, but really not that bad and it’s got sort of a nice cloudy finish under the glass. So I think it looks way better than the seven actually.
They also did a really good job blending in the glass into the edge of the rail on the side. Otherwise, everything else is pretty much like the iPhone 7 that you know it still has touch ID. Unlike the iPhone 10, it still uses that you know forced touch things.
So it’s not a physical button on the back is 212 picked, 12 megapixel cameras and then of course, the regular iPhone 8 just has one, but on the 8 plus it’s actually really impressive, because it uses optical image stabilization. So your telephotos will be a little less shaky and when you jump into the thing you can go right into portrait mode and you can choose all these different options that will automatically adjust the light and when you point it at somebody’s face. So you can identify this guy here. It will move closer it’ll automatically set it to the stage. Lighting Apple, of course, has a bunch of sample shots here. So this one’s really impressive, here’s the portrait and we can adjust.
So here’s what it looks like with the effects this is the original photo. They were able to identify the face and then apply a bunch of different lighting effects, assume just the face which is really impressive. Is it as impressive as actually doing a thing with the DSLR yeah? Maybe not, but it’s way better than any other camera gimmick I’ve seen before inside.
There is a new chip. It’S Apple calls it the a 11 Bionic. It’S a fast chip. You know they’re always faster. The display is a retina HD display and it has true ton like an iPad pro and what that means is the it will detect the ambient light.
The color of the light and automatically adjusts the color of the screen to match the light, which is really cool. So if you jump into the brightness settings, you can turn your tone on and off. Of course, the lighting in this area is very nice and bright white, so you can’t see a difference, but if it were like a yellow room, the screen would adjust. So, wouldn’t look so harshly blue, which is pretty cool.
Another thing I’m really happy with it has stereo speakers this speaker at the top, gets really loud alongside the speaker at the bottom. So when you’re watching movies, you hear it on both sides. No there’s not a headphone jack life goes on, but one thing I didn’t mention because it hasn’t glass back.
It supports wireless charging with the Qi standard. That’S Qi. If you see Qi and a work – and you could just set it down and Apple, is promising that in the future it’s going to create an all-new charging standard, that’ll work with many many devices at the same time intelligently and automatically.
So here you go. This is the iPhone 8. It’S going to be available on September 22nd. The regular model starts at $ 6.99 for 64 gigs and the plus is a hundred bucks more for much more from the verge. Please check out our YouTube. It’S youtube.com slash, merge you .
