The​ ​Apple​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​-​ ​An​ ​Overview​ ​Of​ ​Its Key​ ​Features

The​ ​release​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Apple​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​last​ ​year​ ​in​ ​June​ ​2017​ ​was​ ​certainly​ ​a​ ​significant​ ​event​ ​to​ ​remember.​ ​With​ ​the slogan​ ​"This​ ​changes​ ​everything...again",​ ​Apple​ ​certainly​ ​did​ ​hit​ ​another​ ​jackpot​ ​with​ ​its​ ​8th​ ​generation​ ​release​ ​of​ ​its ever​ ​popular​ ​iPhone.​ ​Backtracking​ ​a​ ​little​ ​into​ ​the​ ​history​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Apple​ ​iPhone​,​ ​Apple​ ​has​ ​released​ ​the​ ​last​ ​8 generations​ ​of​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​over​ ​the​ ​last​ ​8​ ​years,​ ​releasing​ ​one​ ​each​ ​year​ ​as​ ​follows:​ ​the​ ​original​ ​iPhone​ ​in​ ​June​ ​2007, iPhone​ ​3G​ ​in​ ​June​ ​2008,​ ​iPhone​ ​3GS​ ​in​ ​July​ ​2009,​ ​and​ ​iPhone​ ​4​ ​in​ ​June​ ​2010.​ ​So​ ​what​ ​makes​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​4​ ​so desirable?​ ​Let's​ ​take​ ​it​ ​apart​ ​and​ ​see​ ​what​ ​this​ ​smartphone​ ​packs.​ ​To​ ​start​ ​off​ ​with​ ​on​ ​its​ ​physical​ ​outlooks,​ ​the iPhone​ ​8​ ​was​ ​designed​ ​somewhat​ ​differently​ ​from​ ​its​ ​predecessor,​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​7. Departing​ ​from​ ​the​ ​rounded​ ​back​ ​of​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​7,​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​adopted​ ​a​ ​flat​ ​rectangular​ ​block​ ​look​ ​with​ ​rounded edges,​ ​and​ ​best​ ​of​ ​all,​ ​a​ ​stainless​ ​steel​ ​frame​ ​that​ ​is​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​giving​ ​this​ ​device​ ​its​ ​new,​ ​polished​ ​look​ ​that​ ​is highly​ ​desirable​ ​to​ ​touch.​ ​This​ ​stainless​ ​steel​ ​frame​ ​also​ ​functions​ ​as​ ​the​ ​phone's​ ​antenna,​ ​a​ ​very​ ​unique​ ​design; though​ ​there​ ​have​ ​been​ ​rumours​ ​and​ ​complaints​ ​about​ ​edgy​ ​antenna​ ​reception.​ ​Armed​ ​with​ ​a​ ​LED​ ​backlit​ ​4.7-inch touchscreen,​ ​to​ ​date​ ​Apple​ ​iPhones​ ​have​ ​provided​ ​users​ ​with​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​smoothest​ ​and​ ​slickest​ ​touchscreen experiences.​ ​With​ ​an​ ​Apple​ ​Apple​ ​GPU​ ​(three-core​ ​graphics)Hexa-core​ ​(2x​ ​Monsoon​ ​+​ ​4x​ ​Mistral),​ ​Apple​ ​has significantly​ ​boosted​ ​the​ ​speed​ ​over​ ​its​ ​predecessors​ ​which​ ​also​ ​affords​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​its​ ​smooth,​ ​speedy​ ​touchscreen experience.​ ​One​ ​of​ ​the​ ​strongest​ ​features​ ​of​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​is​ ​its​ ​record-setting​ ​screen​ ​resolution​ ​of 2160p@24/30/60fps,​ ​1080p@30/60/120/240fps​ ​pixels.​ ​Packing​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​record​ ​of​ ​326​ ​PPI​ ​(pixels​ ​per​ ​inch,​ ​a measure​ ​of​ ​image​ ​quality),​ ​no​ ​other​ ​smartphone​ ​to​ ​date​ ​or​ ​even​ ​tablets​ ​and​ ​monitors​ ​for​ ​that​ ​matter​ ​have​ ​come​ ​close to​ ​this.​ ​Thus,​ ​this​ ​'super'​ ​high-definition​ ​display​ ​is​ ​marketed​ ​as​ ​the​ ​"Retina​ ​Display",​ ​which​ ​basically​ ​claims​ ​to​ ​pack​ ​as many​ ​pixels​ ​as​ ​the​ ​retina​ ​in​ ​your​ ​eye​ ​could​ ​possibly​ ​see​ ​for​ ​the​ ​best​ ​visual​ ​experience.​ ​Currently​ ​running​ ​on​ ​the​ ​latest iOS​ ​11,​ ​Apple​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​makes​ ​full​ ​use​ ​of​ ​Apple's​ ​user-friendly​ ​and​ ​intuitively​ ​designed​ ​interface,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​probably Apple's​ ​hallmark​ ​and​ ​trademark​ ​of​ ​fame. Packing​ ​flash​ ​memory​ ​size​ ​choices​ ​of​ ​64GB​ ​and​ ​32GB,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​over​ ​300,000​ ​apps​ ​for​ ​consumers​ ​to​ ​select​ ​from​ ​the App​ ​Store,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​also​ ​unbeaten​ ​to​ ​date​ ​by​ ​its​ ​competitors​ ​in​ ​terms​ ​of​ ​sheer​ ​numbers​ ​and​ ​selection​ ​of​ ​apps available.​ ​With​ ​a​ ​8-axis​ ​gyroscope​ ​and​ ​accelerometer,​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​permits​ ​apps​ ​to​ ​even​ ​track​ ​motion​ ​sensitivity,​ ​as used​ ​in​ ​games​ ​or​ ​even​ ​in​ ​sleep​ ​cycle​ ​alarms​ ​in​ ​detecting​ ​your​ ​body​ ​movements​ ​while​ ​sleeping.​ ​Though​ ​a​ ​little​ ​weak in​ ​its​ ​single​ ​loudspeaker,​ ​its​ ​true​ ​audio​ ​strength​ ​only​ ​comes​ ​in​ ​when​ ​you​ ​hook​ ​up​ ​some​ ​good​ ​headphones​ ​or​ ​output the​ ​sound​ ​via​ ​speaker​ ​docks.​ ​The​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​is​ ​truly​ ​an​ ​iPod​ ​touch​ ​with​ ​the​ ​phone​ ​added​ ​in.​ ​With​ ​is​ ​camera​ ​resolution increased​ ​from​ ​12​ ​megapixels,​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​offers​ ​decent​ ​picture-taking​ ​capabilities,​ ​best​ ​of​ ​all​ ​with​ ​its​ ​HD​ ​video camera​ ​capable​ ​of​ ​capturing​ ​2160p@24/30/60fps,​ ​1080p@30/60/120/240fps.​ ​Packed​ ​with​ ​connectivity​ ​options ranging​ ​from​ ​Wi-Fi,​ ​Bluetooth,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​support​ ​for​ ​HSDPA​ ​(also​ ​known​ ​as​ ​3.5G),​ ​the​ ​iPhone​ ​8​ ​truly​ ​serves​ ​much more​ ​than​ ​just​ ​being​ ​a​ ​phone.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​also​ ​a​ ​pocket​ ​internet​ ​browser,​ ​audio​ ​and​ ​video​ ​player,​ ​camcorder,​ ​e-book​ ​reader, gaming​ ​device​ ​and​ ​so​ ​on.​ ​Its​ ​capabilities​ ​are​ ​practically​ ​boundless,​ ​limited​ ​only​ ​by​ ​the​ ​imagination​ ​of​ ​app​ ​creators.
