In the early morning of September 13, Apple launched the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus as the third products.
In addition to directly skipping 7s in naming, the lifting points include the following:
Appearance: The main change is that the back cover is embedded with a glass panel, providing three colors, including gold, silver and deep space gray. The tempered glass on the back is finished by 7 layers of dyeing process, which is 50% deeper than the previous coating;
Screen and speaker: The screen is upgraded to Retina HD screen (Chinese original color display technology), which has a wider color gamut and supports True Tone on iPad (changing color temperature according to the environment), still supports 3D Touch, and the speaker can provide a stronger bass effect;
Performance: core upgrade A11 processor BIONIC (bionic), including: Six core CPU, including 4.3 billion transistors (the previous generation was 3.3 billion), composed of two large cores and four small cores, has a performance 25% better than A10, and four small cores are 70% faster than the dual small cores on A10. Apple's second-generation performance regulator can improve the multithreading performance by 70%. The most special thing is that Apple can start all cores at the same time!
The GPU part is 30% higher than A10. Only 50% energy consumption is needed to achieve the GPU performance of A10 Metal 2 and Core ML image processing language design, the latter allows developers to integrate machine learning technology into the app;
Self-designed ISP: A11 has joined the ISP designed by Apple, which mainly improves weak light focusing, pixel processing, hardware noise reduction, as well as optimization for AR reality enhancement. A new video decoder has been added, which can provide 4K@60FPS ， 1080P@240FPS High speed and high-definition video recording;
AR reality enhancement: The new processor is deeply integrated with AR function in software and hardware, and the gyroscope and acceleration sensor are updated;
The camera adopts a new sensor of 12 million pixels, which claims a larger photosensitive area (1/3 inch in the previous generation), deeper pixel wells, and new color filters, aiming to improve the color gamut range, color details, discrimination and texture. The dual camera on the iPhone 8 Plus still maintains a dual 12 million pixels, and even the aperture maintains a F1.8+F2.8 configuration. The sub camera has no optical anti shake;
In terms of photographing algorithm, with the neural network engine of A11 processor, the virtual effect of portrait mode is optimized, and a new "portrait lighting effect" is introduced. Through dual photography combined with facial feature recognition technology, the algorithm provides lighting effects similar to professional lighting in portrait mode;
Introduction of wireless charging: Apple has adopted the universal Qi wireless charging standard, which is compatible with the most widely used Qi standard in the market. Most Android phones and smart hardware, including Samsung Note8, use this standard, which is very likely to be universal. The new wireless charging board can even charge AirPods and Apple Watch wirelessly at the same time.
The rest also includes Bluetooth 5 and faster charging support. All three iPhones can be fully charged with 50% power in 30 minutes. However, considering the different battery capacities, their charging power should be different. IPhone 8 3D is 138.4 * 67.3 * 7.3mm, 148g; The iPhone 8 Plus is 158.4 * 78.1 * 7.5mm, 202g. Sadly, the iPhone 8/8Plus of Bank of China is equipped with 5W charging head.
Apple canceled the 128G option and only offered 64G and 256G. The price of iPhone 8 was 5888 yuan and 7188 yuan respectively; The two versions of iPhone 8 Plus are 6688 yuan and 7988 yuan respectively. Reservations will be accepted on September 15 and will be available on September 22. In addition to Apple, JD also opened appointments synchronously. At 8:00 a.m. on September 22, it was able to "start the rush". In addition, there were activities such as the collection of premium coupon packs, and returning to Beijing beans. JD also provided 1-hour mobile warehouse delivery services in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
